Neither Crucified Barbara or Pain of Salvation went through to the finals yesterday. A pity, of course, since they were the only rock elements in the competition. But well, well...not everyone can have Lordi in their country;=)

For me, Eurovision was something so special when I was a child, but then the later years its been almost a shame to be in the competition here in Sweden. Its a good thing to be in if you want to sell and be bigger just in Sweden, but if you are a band or an artist who have a good career outside the nation, its not something you should do. I dont know why it is like this, but there is some kinda label you get after having been in the competition.

Not at all like when ABBA won in the 70es. Then it was such a big thing to win the competition. Today, the winners in the big competition usually are forgotten the next day. A pity, cause it could be a great thing to show yourself to Europe.

And from what I have read it´s a bit the same in the rest of the countries too. But for me, its a great entertaining thing to watch in saturday evenings. And everyone has an opinion too;=) So it does serve a big purpose still;=)
