Rhydian is the better singer, but Leon is the most popular. What's the problem?
I've just read through some of the heaps of conspiracy threads here and I'm bemused why people appear to think that just because Rhydian was the better singer he should have won. Why?
Does the best, most well directed, destined to stand the test of time film become the box-office smash of the year or is it Spiderman 5? Does the highest quality piece of literature sell the most copies in the year or is it another Harry Potter book? You know the answer, and every time there's a vote for the greatest movie of all time, it it's the critics who decide Citizen Kane wins and if it's a mass vote CK comes 87th and Star Wars wins, which is as it should be because we all take best (which requires objectivity) to mean favourite (which requires subjectivity). In other words, there's a huge difference, people, between popular and good. Sometimes the two coincide but that's far rarer and here was one of the more common occurences in which what people subjectively decided they liked wasn't what was objectively the best. So either change the world so that the best books always become best-sellers and oscar winners lead the box office and... or get over it! |
