Fairytale?

Years ago, when I was younger. I could say that because I'm of the grand old age of 35. But could a 23 year old looking like a 25 year old get away with it? Yes he could, and he has. Norway's boyish looking Alexander Rybak has got away with it and the Eurovision's trophy. And although I thought it was a teeny weeny bit cheesy, I liked it. Perhaps because it's all a fairytale? But why has he scored so high? It means I am among the millions who has found him and his song attractive. What I cannot stand is the two ladies in pink singing la la la. Please shoot them, they do nothing for Alex, I really thought they would be the ones who would ruin his fairytale. But it seems everything is allowed in fairytales, even silly women in pink waving their skirts like 2 year olds do. And it gives me a sense of peace, no upheaval, no excitement, just peace. And that in turn makes me wonder whether to laugh or cry. And there I switch to Jade. I loved Jade. But then again, did I love the Andy Lloyd Webber concept or Jade? And if Jade and her UK decided to pull the Andy trump card, well, what can I say? And I go to Chiara (of course), because Eurovision apart, she is one of my forever friends. I'm sorry for this girl who had no fairytale. If I could be the fairy godmother I would have waved my magic wand, not around her, but around phone lines. But then boyish Alex had the best aphrodisiac of all... hi violin. No matter how ugly a man is, his violin will always draw women (and men) by the crowds. So it's 2009, and we still like fairytales. And that's a good thing. It makes me feel normal, because I too, dream of fairytales and living happily ever after.
