Great start to the 2004 season, folks. I think we're beating ESC's ass left and right! :) Renato's best finish and his first time winning! Congratulations. This is the second time for Portugal, quite different from the previous winner. Good stuff, both. Miroslav has his own personal best this time as well, coming 2nd with Negative and making up for that bad finish the last time around they sang for us. ;) Giannis back in form with Evgenij continuing on the eternal top 5 dwelling, with Martin joining the tradition--had us all fooled! Turkey's and Umur's best in a long time as well, quite commendable too. Overall, everyone did a good job again. Definitely a winter WB, we're all suffering sun withdrawals, aren't we? I plan to brighten up by WB19, don't know about the rest of you ;). New rules, of course, you know all of that. Let's see how it works!
