Just thought I'd add my take because it came up tonight when I saw this interview:

Here's how I see it:
Someone walks up to you and says you?ll win $5 million next week. You are freaking ecstatic. Life changing? etc? Next week you enter a competition for $20million and come in 4th getting $5mil and they ask if you?re devastated you lost. The guy won weeks ago. He got what every musician wants which is a shot to show his stuff in front of MILLIONS of people.
