As a swede I think I have any idea of what's behind Jonas' reasoning, even if I think it was wrong to nominate Sisqo and Sov. The so called "Jante Law" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jante_Law) has a stronger influence on the scandinavian mind than what people think. Bragging and acting selfishly is not considered "nice" in large parts of Scandinavia, especially in the north and in the more religious areas. You are supposed to mind your own business and don't pretend that you are better than anyone else. It's both good and bad, of course. For Jonas it probably means that when he goes back to Sweden his achievements will not be as recognized as they would have been elsewhere, but it also means that he can go to a local bar without being disturbed, even if he's recognized by everyone. The law itself are more a summary of our collective mind, than guidelines we struggle to follow.
