Article from Luc Spencer (Australia)
Sparked by Roy’s ABBA song question for number 16, Chiquitita, I will indeed expand on the devastation each year of THAT song that misses out on the Grand Final that shouldn’t (in my opinion).
Given that I have no idea how to “vlog”, I thought I would write an article on this.
Every one from the introduction of semi finals, the biggest disappointments will be marked by the following categories;
Criminal (should have qualified);
Wishful Thinking (I’d have liked it to qualify) and;
WHAT THE..? (Qualifier that defies my understanding).
I appreciate this is highly subjective, so invite others to add their opinions in comment.
