The ESC hasn't been a serious music contest in decades (if it ever was one). It's not about the music, it's about the show and about popularity won through advertising the songs beforehand.
It's trashy, it's colourful, it's loud and a hilarious, big party and that's what people love about it - the music is just a side dish.
That doesn't mean that there's never any good song among the lot, but the good music rarely wins.

(Anonymous) 2015-06-07 10:46 am (UTC)(link)Let's go down the list of last years' winners, shall we:
Rise of the Phoenix - genuinely good ballad
Teartrop - radio hit
Euphoria - massive radio & dance hit
Running Scared - okay, that is a shitty one
Satellite - modern radio hit
Fairytale - massive etno-pop radio hit
Let's also remember that 2015 had some great songs!
Australia, Belgium, Estonia and Norway were all really good songs.
Yes, there is a lot of shit, but there is a lot of good music, and the best songs usually win or end up top three.
