Switzerland SWITZERLAND 2021 - Gjon's Tears - Tout l’univers

[escYOUnited]

Laisse le vent qui frôle
Sa main sur mon épaule
Le vide dans ma tête
Pas la moindre cachette

C'est l'aube qui décline
Derrière un champ de ruines
Le moment de grandir
Ne pas te retenir

Je vois derrière nous des morceaux de toi
Et ce que la douleur a fait de moi

Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles où tout éclate
Se trouver au point d'impact
Sans toi

Que deviendront nos souffles
S'ils restent sur le bord?
Cet amour qui nous tord

Je vois derrière nous des morceaux de toi
Et ce que la douleur a fait de moi

Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles où tout éclate
Se trouver au point d'impact
Sans toi
Derrière mes paupières
Trouver de l'air

(Ah)
Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles et des ressacs
Nous nous retrouvons au point d'impact
Comment soigner nos coeurs qui éclatent?
Tout l'univers​

I am currently rewatching all videos again and found this song worser than I had at my first impression. It's not just his voice (aside from his falsetto) I don't like much, but the whole song is quite boring to listen to (and very predictable imo). So I will have to downgrade this from a 7 to 5. Sorry, Switzerland, maybe next year?

 

[hijirio]

Yea i’m also downgrading this from to
#sorrynotsorry

i liked last year’s entry, it was a catchy atmospheric emoshen song but this one has a very forgettable and effortless melody and the only thing i enjoy here is the french language, and that’s all.

 

[DenizESC]

I'm gonna have to be on board with the 2 sisters topping me.

Last year was good, I'm not a slow lover but it was to me quite emotion indeed
This year, I mean it's not terrible but I don't enjoy it as much. #next

 

[Trece]

Ofc this live is not esc performance but nothing special, voice is quite annyoing in the end when he goes high. This can be high only with great staging, Duncan style of staging will not work here. Arcade was more radio and charts friendly after all

 

[crashworld]

I hope they don't put him behind the piano with a dark background, because people are going to draw comparison with Duncan even though he didn't invented the man-behind-piano staging. Anything to set Gjon's Tears apart from Duncan will be the best.

Just because he knows how to play the piano doesn't mean he needs to be behind a piano especially since he is not going to play the piano 'live' anyway. I would have rather have him focus on how to get the notes right and singing while seated is not the best way to get the notes out.

 

[tkris]

I didn't think there was a lot of wrong with the Live performance , except he didn't hold his notes . That was because there was no backing for him.

People saying he is not winning just based on this one performance are jumping the gun . I do have 6 songs that I like more than the Swiss song though but amongst the current favorites to win : Switzerland , France , Malta , Lithuania , Italy I'd rather see this one than the other four.

kinda doubt Sacha would put him behind a piano and called it a day.

SJB is such a hit-and-miss these days.

Just look at how she did Jessica Mauboy's staging. She just put 10 LED tubes on stage and that's it.
And the non-existent staging for Equinox with just 3 platforms and one sofa.

I am keeping my expectations low even though she did a decent job for Eleni's and Luca's performances which I feel were pretty much elevated by the performers themselves.

 

[tararaaam]

To be honest his live was quite nice imo, for someone that does not adore his song. However, I could also hear that the long notes were....short. But I guess that is where EBU comes in to save him with the backing vocals...
The odds have gone a bit lower tho.

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

The performance wasn't the best and not the worst either imo. It is criminal to make heavy statements about someone's worth from a single performance. Katerine Duska gave a great response to this in an interview.
Of course Gjon is a Duncan-wannabe who in turn was a poor copy of Molly Sterling (the first person to ever play the piano).

I kinda liked both Jessica's and Equinox's performances.

 

[ayzelto]

I liked it much more than last year's entry but I think there are better songs this year. At least for me. I would like something more refreshing and uptempo to win after this crappy year, and unfortunately this entry is very similar to Arcade. Twice in a row no, please. 7 points.

 

[Iker]

I think it is pretty good that he's doing this promo in Spain. I am confident it will look different in Rotterdam.

She's always been a hit-and-miss

She basically copied Fuego for She Got Me lol Huge respect to Switzerland for going a different route than the Fuego copy they did well with

 

[MAD20]

She Got Me staging was miles better than Fuego in my opinion, though I think Fuego was a better song overall. The red colour random projection in the screen was quite catchy and the image relation change with the black bands up and down gave it a better look. I genuinely have high expectations for swiss staging this year, I guess they have high budget for SJB and even more knowing they belong to the possible-winner train.

 

[Etanna]

I love the song but the live performance was not very pleasant to listen to. I hope they won't have to use the back-up performance because there's definitely space for improval when it comes to the vocals. His performances of Répondez-moi were grating at first and much improved over time so hopefully he'll find a balance between showing off his vocals/emotions and not ruining the atmosphere in this case, as well. (Coincidentally, I'm hoping for the same thing with Blas Canto's high notes.)

 

[Iker]

I have to copy-paste this hilarious reply found at some other Eurovision related message board, as this is way too funny to overlook considering his latest performance ... lol.

That will be the staging, the Swiss HoD confirmed it. Gjon in the piano and random Spanish celebrities in the background.

Why so many angry bashing the song? Even those one downgrading it because the others tells them they don't like... DUNCAN DID NOT EVENTED PIANO PERFORMANCES! Actually Gjon also almost won The Voice France, a lot of people think he should have. There you can see his performances on youtube and maybe stop fussing . This latest times, people are really mad about nothing... It's a little bit exhausting. A lot of views and opinions mixes musical genre to: duh it's just the same! It's another Arcade, it's a copy-cat! The two dudes don't look alike at all... And Gjon was existing before the ESC and already performing. I don't mean to upset anybody or tell you what to think. But the strenght of hatery of some of you is almost shocking. Calm down guys, like the songs you do and let everybody be happy with his favourite song.

It's an incredible song if you look at the music, professionals wouldn't dare to tell the opposite. And just to remind everybody, eurovision didn't started as the Vatican of thrashy pop. It was a song contest with expert listening to the artists and jugding them.

For a french speaker, Voilà is very beautiful for the music, but gosh the lyrics are soooo basic (not good, a children can write that lever of french)! And french is mother tongue so I know what I am telling you. Plus, there is a small controversy in France that tells that Barbara is also a copy-cat of two other artists. It's certainely the year of some copy-cats at the eurovision but this is definitvely not this poor young swiss-albanian dude! Let him be...

People have to move on with Duncan (ho gosh I could kiss him on his mouth though!). I found that the Netherlands was a great victory, was very happy for them. They deserved it.

I am pretty sure Gjon Tears will slay during his live performances at the second semi-final and get it all on the saturday 20th of May!

I hope he will have a burning piano in the middle of a gigantisc universe and that maybe he will make front to the public without his piano. Who know's? The EBU is not so stupid that he will make a Duncan Lawrence trend. Neither are the countries that sends the artists.

From Zürich with love!

P.S: In case we win the ESC 2021, Zürich is a slaughter-house for parties (and not everything is expensive if you know the right tricks!)... And it's already summer in May, or almost

When you see the many s he got here, you can't speak of hate. we are discussing and state our opinions, that's what a forum is there for afterall. And it's not about him sitting on a piano, I just don't like the song and his falsetto singing. So hopefully opinions are allowed to state!
