I was hoping she'd be in Amsterdam today for EiC, but she's performing on the SRF show Hello Again in Kreuzlingen

Her live performance in the TV show Hello Again

I'm getting frustrated because it has the potentiel to be even better with more attitude and she definitely should invest more the stage. At least she's very pretty and playing with the camera.

 

[Matt]

My issue with that performance is that to me, it feels like she's more concerned looking pretty. I don't think she's really connecting with the song, the words or the vibe of the song. Hopefully she'll be able to fix that in Vienna.

 

[esc87fan]

The staging suits the song really well, I'm glad that hasn't changed since the Swiss final and I hope they use it in Vienna. I'm thinking a song like this shouldn't need a lot of movement but we'll see, the consistency of her live vocal since the NF and going through Lithuania and the Riga party has been really solid

why is this not representing Switzerland???

[Hayato]

Just echoing what everyone else is saying - in that latest live performance, she is vocally amazing and the staging is great. But she needs to be even more expressive and connect with the song more, not smiling and looking pretty Matt has said. Anyway it's still the best song for me!

Here are the members of the Swiss jury this year:

Georg Schulnegger (Chairperson): Composer/producer (wrote Takasa's song in 2013)
Simu Moser: Radio journalist
Andrea Parli: Marketing Director for International Labels, Musikvertrieb
Gabriel Broggini: Member of Sinplus (ESC 2012)
Rafaela Spitzi: Promotion Manager, Universal Music Switzerland

 

[Hayato]

What do you guys think her chances of qualifying are? 50/50?

 

[esc87fan]

Her live vocal through all her promo performances from what I've seen have stayed consistently strong. If she can keep that up through the rehearsals and into the live show, I think she can qualify - this could potentially be the year Switzerland does well with the juries

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

"Time to Shine" is a big "grower" for me, I like it more and more.
Of course, qualification for the final will be tough, considering the other competitors in semifinal 2.
I wish you good luck!

No more pulling me down...

no more mucking around...

I’m growing up, I’m growing up...

And it’s my time to shine
Yeah, it’s my time to shine

 

[RainyWoods]

I hope she can reach the final. I think the composition is one of the strongest and most interesting of the year.

I hope she can reach the final. I think the composition is one of the strongest and most interesting of the year.

No matter what happens, the energy she transports is BRILLIANT!!

Her AURA is positive, she fills me with energy and good vibes!

She is EVERYTHING!

 

[Sammy]

My fellow Austrians! This year is a great opportunity to award our neighbour with a bunch of points!

 

[esc87fan]

For all the Swiss fans...

 

[Hayato]

Cannot wait for tomorrow's performance! It's HER time to shine, noone elses!

I imagine the LED background to be a dark blue forest at the beginning and lots of blinding lights for the choruses

If only animals were allowed on stage, some horse galloping would work amazingly well..

She's on her way!

I love the simplicity of the staging, and Melanie looks gorgeous! Her live vocal is still spot on, however the backing singers need to tone it down just a little
