It's absolutely a serious music contest. It's just that the Big Five have given up and keeps sending shit. My country (Sweden) has ended up top three in the last five years - twice in top place - and it's because we take this contest seriousy and actually send good songs with good artists.

... You have a trashy eurodance song that's basically a copy of David Guetta's "Lovers on the Sun" and the only thing impressive and memorable about it was the show.
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.

The only similarity between Heroes and Lovers of the Sun is the guitar. The melody is completely different.

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.
