Wow, Uku really is unlucky.
All the different ways he listed that he's managed to lose, and now that he finally wins.. everything goes to hell in a handbasket. I was wondering what they'd do with EL if this happened, but guess we didn't need to wait long to find out.
Making an Uku-only edition could have been an option, but guess they didn't want that. Giving him a token spot in next year's lineup maybe.. but then there's the likely possibility people would pity-vote him to victory no matter what song he had. As much as this sucks for Uku, I'd rather he didn't win with something even worse just because people felt sorry. Well, if he actually feels up to taking part next year & can find a song that will make the lineup regardless (shouldn't be too hard if current trend of selected entries continues, I'm sure Kirkorov can whip something up again), his odds of winning will be pretty big.
Whether he'll feel like trying again so soon is another matter tho'.
Eh, What Love Is was not likely to set the scoreboard on fire, but it would have been nice to see what it managed to do anyway. Oh well.
