Don't win any contest

Some competitions are not worth winning, or participating. You shouldn't compete in lower categories; winning would disgrace you.

You know, the lion doesn't need to win competitions to be king.

This is why some competitions have only 30-40 applicants, the winner is unknown; winning is a sign of weakness.


In other news: no Eurovision song winner ever made the top10 US charts in 50 years, since Abba's 1974 Waterloo. There were 3 songs that made it before.

Eurovision is of course a solid event and contest, that has rewarded incredible songs and singers such as Abba, Céline Dion, Lara Fabian or Gigliola Cinquetti. Great many other songs/artists participated and lost, such as Domenico Modugno, France Gall, and even Abba.


Surely, you wouldn't see Queen, Beatles or Michael Jackson compete in Eurovision.
