Re: SWITZERLAND 2013 - Heilsarmee - You and me

Yes, you are spot on about what I meant.

My favourite was Melissa, but Carrousel is the only song that could benefit from a withdrawal, so my opinion on that is the only one that matters.

Ok I get it now :)

But people exaggerate the situation, as I wrote above there's no reason for a withdrawal. A slight band-name change and new uniforms are hardly that big things to manage that they have to pull out.

Heilsarmee would have withdrawn by now if they really had a major issue with the name & costume change. All they have to do is change their name to "Geilsmarnee" and pick a uniform that looks similar but without the trademark.

"Geilsmarnee"? :lol:

Yep, it's hardly a big issue for them. I mean who haven't changed outfits for ESC anyways?

Re: SWITZERLAND 2013 - Heilsarmee - You and me

I finally (xD) made it to listen to the final performances of Switzerland. Here´s my ranking:

1. Carrousel - J'avais rendez-vous
2. Heilsarmee - You and me
3. Melissa - The point of no return
4. Jesse Ritch - Forever and a day
5. Anthony Bighead - Do the monkey
6. Nill Klemm - On my way
7. Ally - Catch me
8. Nicolas Fraissinet - Lève toi
9. Chiara Dubey - Bella sera

Heilsarmee´s song wasn´t my favorite, but it isn´t bad. I gave it 7 points.

I hope they don't withdraw over this slight change because I like this song so much.

IMO there's no need to worry. I'm pretty sure that they're going to make these changes and go to Eurovision. :D

I listened to the song for the first time and I quite liked it. It isnt what I was expecting, but its not bad! It's not one of those song that I say "qualification guaranteed", but it could very well happen!

SRF, the Swiss national broadcaster has told that the special Heilsarmee committee will be meeting this week in order to decide if Helisarmee will fly the Swiss flag in Malmö.

Seriously??? Is it THAT hard to just change/adjust the name and costumes??? It's not as if the whole song need to be re-written or anything?

Hopefully they give themselves the boot and something better comes in to replace them.

That would be Carrousel. I much prefer Carrousel's song, but would be a bit sad if Heilsarmee withdrew. They won the national final fair and square and deserve their place.

If they decide to withdraw because they can't use that name then they won't see much pity from me and would just emphasize their intent to use ESC as a platform to advertise their organization. But I'm certain, they'll come to an agreement.

I really hope they will stay, if not with another name. I really like this song and it has some potential to be in the finales. Switzerland can score with this.
