I clearly dislike Switzerland's entry.

 

[jatojo]

Switzerland is not pleasant enough to listen to or watch, in my opinion.

 

[Leydan]

They're a great singer sure, but christ this song is overrated

 

[lasse braun]

switzerland

 

[Iker]

Nemo gave me chills.

 

[Zorjan]

I really didn't like them, but they sure delieved an incredible vocal performance Such a tough song to sing!

 

[Biste]

Perhaps - opinions differ - even worse.

Just less bad for me.
At least he didn't look anymore like something to dust off your ceiling.

SWitzerland is really good, but I am not getting winner's vibe, but more like any top 5 result but 1st

Not the staging the song needed I'm afraid. I don't think the televote will go hard enough for this one to win on Saturday unfortunately

 

[AliceEsc]

I love The Code, but I'm mostly impressed about their confidence jumping on that platform. I would have fallen a million times. Nemo was very good.

 

[Laepo1]

I never really cared for Switzerland. But holy cow, what a performance! Amazing!

 

[Bench]

Very strong. How perfect he can sing in such a difficult act. Probably SF2 winner but maybe to artsy for a general win?

 

[jatojo]

Piedestal remains one of my favourites this year no matter what happens!

 

[gigi_copp3]

Oh, she's good!

 

[HarryUK]

Switzerland was absolutely mesmerising!

 

[cassio]

CZ: the show dosn't match the song

 

[mauve]

Hope Aiko goes thru... love the song!

 

[Geborgenheit]

Czechia is like the total opposite of Switzerland... but she really made a strong performance in the end!

 

[ag89]

Czech is really not bad

 

[0scar]

Honestly great staging and enjoyable performance, I actually think it has a chance to qualify
