That might only be viewable in the UK though.

I could watch it, thanks for the link Sonic!

But such a pity that it didn't win. This is such a gorgeous album... :(

We'll just make that the second thing, since the potential of the clips only being available in the UK was not so. Tho in Sonic's defence, they do often do that and his was only a warning that it may not be viewable. So the two sucky things being he didn't win and who did instead. The third could be that this is further proof that these 'contests' are hardly judged on 'quality'!
