I liked the way they treated the first, second, and third place finishers equally. It was an amazing year. I only entered two song contests this year I won one and placed second in the other. And I entered each of them a day or two before the deadline.

I suddenly remember being very little and being embraced by my father. I would try to put my arms around my father's waist, hug him back.

I held him, instead of him holding me, and all I wanted at that moment was to have it back the other way.
