“Khaslavsky and Shedroff suggest that three basic steps to designing products, to bring us joy are enticement, relationship, and fulfillment: make an emotional promise, continually fulfill the promise, and end the experience in a memorable way.” P.112

This music video Eurovision 2008, 1st Semi-final from Russia, http://ru.youtube.com/watch?v=_XR5xrU02yo Is a great example of this quote. The show evolved from American Idol, and it’s interesting that the Russian contestant is singing in English.
