Holland wins the #ESC....
## ...And I couldn't care less when I am honest. But for some reason I have a phone full of messages from all kinds of people from all over the world congratulating me with 'our accompishment'

<br>
### As I am writing this I am listening to the winning song, because I have literally never heard it and singer 'Duncan' next to it as well. But when I open my other social media feeds, I can't get around the fact that this was happening over the previous days.
<br>
### The ESC has been a mystery to me over the last years, not only because of the low quality of the song that are entering, but mostly because of the circle voting around it, the political messages, and the fact that 'strange' songs often win, which is to me the goal of a song festival.
### It is a EURO festival, but when I tuned in 5 minutes yesterday I was seeing that it was held in Tel Aviv (the winning country from last year hosts the contest this year) and Australia was up next. This got me boggled. Was I drunk, or was Australia all of a sudden member of Europe and I had missed this? Then it reminded me that a song with chicken sounds in there was one of the last winners, and I tuned out again. 
<br>
### How did a competition with initial such good intentions turn into such a weird media circus leaving out the whole goal of what it was made for. Singing with good songs, and having a healthy competition along with it there. Are you feeling the same similarities in this as well when we are thinking about our 'decentralized blogging platform.' That attention and politics often win from quality, and it is just a round of the cool kids in school speaking again.?
<br>
## Well, at least the song is quality.....

_'And I couldn't care less when I am honest."_

And again a subject we couldn't agree on more. I give a rats ass about this whole freakshow that's getting gay-er (no offense to gays btw) every year.

And yeah circle voting; even worse than on Steemit? hahaha.
