O' Ye Of Little Faith

So, I've gotten a little grief over my selection in the Eurovision contest via emails...some friends from Sweden and others from Poland and elsewhere...
Here is why I picked Loïc Nottet as the real winner of Eurovision and why you should have too.
Both Mans and Polina did a superb job of performing their respective pieces and both had a plethora of stunning visuals to accompany the songs...some of the best producers in Europe helped these two achieve very dynamic performances.
But one thing stands out loud and clear, this was a talent contest and in that context, Mr. Nottet surpassed both with ease...how so you may ask?
Loïc Nottet did something the other two did not..he wrote the music and the lyrics for his song, he also did the choreography for his piece..basically, he was completely in charge of everything you saw and heard, and he just turned 19 years old!
Yes, he had a vocal coach and a team that helped him bring together some of the best in his country to help him reach his goals, but it was he who drove what happened, he didn't just learn to perform someone else's work.
My choice stands, Loïc Nottet should have won Eurovision, hands down and why he is someone to watch for in the future long after these other two have been forgotten.
