Three cheers for a Eurovision legend

I feel like a big chunk of Eurovisions heart has just been ripped out. Valentina has made the last three years of the contest very special for me. Going wild for Valentina with you all since 2012 has been amazing. At times hilarious, other times even emotional. Valentina's journey was incredible and I didn't want it to end yet. Well, it probably hasn't ended, it's been put on hold.. but I really was crossing everything that Valentina would return for one more year so she could take the Eurovision record for most times an artist has represented a country in a row. "Maybe" was a wonderful ending to this chapter but people still haven't seen the true artist Valentina is. Valentina said that "Maybe" was her truth and it was. She put everything into it. But she was Ralph Siegel's vessel still. She never got to show the music she was passionate about and that makes me sad.
But maybe I am being selfish with my wishes. After all, this is Valentina's decision. She's worked hard the past three years and emotionally it must take it's toll. Now is a good time for her to have a rest. Thank you Valentina for everything.
