6th year into the 2020s and Switzerland can't even break into my top 25 once. :(

I thought they would loosen up a bit now that they have won, but i guess not.

I think there are enough loose countries this year.

I gave it an :8:

Beautiful song and definitely a welcome addition to the lineup this year.

I didn't expect them to sing a song about a third beverage :lol: A ballad like the one from Israel or the ones from Balkans would have done the trick. They are more approachable

Switzerland has consistently brought dignity, class and quality to the contest in the last few years. Unfortunately, this doesn't have the latter.

A woman seemingly playing the role of a little girl, almost whispering in a narrow pitch range, without a single melodic phrase i can remember after hearing it three times. Then this tango-like part that slowly accelerates, for some reason, and no clear relation to the rest of the song. Why does so many songs have weird tempo changes this year, by the way? Yes, we know why.

Anyway, i think Switzerland is not really serious about getting a good result with this. It's like Portugal's host entry, and several other recent ones, intended to be artistically respectable but intentionally with no chance of a good result. A waste of opportunity to me! Hopefully they can bring something better next year, and their glory days in the contest aren't over this soon.

Wow, I already lost any hope, but Zoë and "Voyage" get my first :12: of the season!! 😍

I think it's a musical jewel. A beautiful, almost fragile voice that somehow transports me to a kind of dream world, I don't know how to describe it. The song only has a small climax at the end, but the whole song just seems right to me. 😊

I don't know well it will do in Basel, maybe more points from the juries than the audience. But I don't care, I'll listen to and enjoy this song even after the ESC!! Bravo :ch:!! xclap

This blew me away, didn't expect it. Such gentle instrumentation and love the patient development that evokes O Jardim vibes. Actually my little quibble is with the climax that feels shoehorned because, well, it's eurovision :LOL:

Might be alone in this but this is leagues better than Finding Nemo.:8:

If Switzerland weren't the host country, this would be on the race for victory as was Victoria back in 2020. What a beautiful piece of art hred

I've listened to it twice now, and I still can't remember anything from it two minutes later. Other than she has a nice soft voice. If a song is so not memorable, I can't give it more than a 4.

This is also giving me O Jardim vibes. It meanders aimlessly until the last 30 seconds or so, when it admittedly sounds nice and almost seems worth it. Close, but no cigar :6:

Great slot. If they nail the performance and staging and create a 'moment', they could be looking at a very good result.
