Lys Assia thinks they should withdraw "The Salvation Army should withdraw. It makes no sense. The public has voted for them and not for an unnamed organization." (her twitter - translated via Google)

I wonder who she thinks should replace them?

Hmm... she kinda contradicts herself there... the thing is people have voted for their entry first and foremost (atleast I hope so), so they should NOT withdraw if people should get what they voted for.

I hope Switzerland will use this chance to change this awful entry to something ok and suitable for Eurovision. There are many talented singers able to win ESC.

I gave it an 8. Twelve points are kinda overrated, but it's still a catchy song that keep dwelming in my mind. They just need to change their name..

Unless the EBU won't accept their new name & uniforms either. Then they say they'd have to withdraw. But I'm confident they'll choose an appropriate name.

"Catch me" by Ally is very underrated from National Final. It was different than classic Euro - pop song and the one in it's style at NF. This wasn't a song to take last place. Also Carrousel's song is very nice. I didn't listen You and Me but as a second song, Carrousel is awesome. I wish Magdalena could have a chance in live.

I thought I was the only one to love "Catch me" ! It's a great song ! Ally had few votes because she's not famous and not used to be on a stage, but for an amateur she did pretty well ! :)

They accepted Trackshittaz, so i wonder why they don't accept 'Heilsarmee'. Theres nothing bad about that name.

trademark issues, that's all. Trackshittaz is a normal name.

On the other hand ESC rules also states that lyrics/names should be non- offensive or foul language.

Pleasant song. Sounds a bit like the theme song to an old cartoon I used to watch when I was younger. Nice. :)

I thought that too, but I'm told there's an Austro-Bavarian verb "shitten" that the name is derived from. While I'm sure they were fully aware of the connotations when they picked the name, that's how they get away with it.

The catchiest song by far, I still hear it in my brain, in the office,in the bathroom, in the cafeteria, everywhere.
