I detect an anti-finn bias! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUxgL2LjXPE Just because the other entries suck more, it doesn't mean Fairytale *doesn't* suck! :) I actually liked the backup dancers in Fairytale. Just because I don't know what the heck they are doing doesn't mean I can't appreciate them doing whatever it is well. I also have no qualms with the fiddling. However, the lyrics are just AWFUL. Even now, I am full of awe at their awfulness. And his facial expressions annoy me as well. To be fair on the lyrics, the above ones have sucky lyrics too. So maybe there is something lost in the translation to English from Norwish or whatever silly umlaut filled language your people speak. ;) Okay, all that being said I grudgingly admit to catching myself singing, "I'm in looove with a fairy taaaaale" no less than 6 times!!
