SWITZERLAND 2012 - Sinplus - Unbreakable

[Matt]

Lys is asking for a written apology from the jury member she felt insulted by but also indicated that she is indicating she may enter again but only if the "impudent person" is not part of the jury

What a drama queen.

Lys Assia is Frustrated.

“I feel sorry for the composer and lyricist, because it really is a good song and they put a lot of work into it, especially Mister Siegel… one can’t really imagine it.”

She especially criticized the behaviour of the judges. “What has most disappointed me is that a jury can behave so uncoughly. They were cheeky enough to suggest the familiar form of address (Du in German) to me on stage. I have been on stage for 70 years and that worldwide and he allows himself to suggest the familiar form of address… what was I supposed to do? I was so shocked I couldn’t even react. And then he said this thing about coffee (Stämper had said her song might be better suited for a coffee tour or cruise for old people) That’s impudent, unacceptable!”

She apparently still thinks the public loves her as years ago. “You have seen, the public would have chosen me in the arena. That’s completely clear,” she told SF. Asked why she didn’t win the televote then, she said: “In any case it is not positive… First of all you can’t insult me like this as an artist and Secondly, one can’t dismiss the song like that…I mean, it’s a very nice chanson! It is clear that faster songs dominate, ok that’s the trend, but it still is a nice chanson.. and it is supposed to be a chanson festival not a Tonk Tonk Tonk festival. One cannot forget that I don’t have a group behind me that vote hundreds of times. That’s the problem! My audience is also older people, they don’t have internet and all that”.

She would have had a heart attack if she read what ordinary peeps really thought about her entry
Can't believe that she's 70 years on stage and she still gives a big fuuu about criticism lol.


ps. And btw, my dad is 65 and he uses the I-net
I understand that some users on this 4um can be ageist but 87 yo granny talking that old people can't use the I-net....
It's never too late to learn. She's not an exception. + What does it have to do with televoting? Did only old people vote for Dino in 2011? People just didn't like her song, simple as that.

 

[Stargazer]

I do agree with her though that it should be a chanson festival, not a tonk tonk tonk festival!

I wish that Lys would just forget about this and move on. If she's as big as she makes herself to be, she should be fine with a loss and not be a sour puss

 

[Narmina]

I hope Lys will visit Baku as a guest even after her fail

Hilarious! She should get off her high horse and get a grip on reality.

Not winning the NF wasnt her fail, it was her reaction to it

Breaking news coming in from Switzerland as the first ever Eurovision Song Contest winner in 1956 (also participant in 1957 and 1958) Lys Assia, was admitted to the hospital on Monday. Doctors did some necessary tests and of course suggested immediate rest for the grand Diva who most likely pressured from the outcome of the national selection and the conflict with the jury.

oh my.

 

[sannerz]

oh my.

Uh-oh. She read through this thread.

 

[Grinch]

Sorry to hear that. But if she can't even take the pressure of nf, what would happen if she went to Baku?

 

[AlekS]

Uh-oh. She read through this thread.

She can't use the I-net, remember?

I think it was not only the pressure..but also she was frustrated,and being sad.If she was selected i suppose that her dream was that,and she wouldnt have any problem in Baku.

+1 to both!!

Even though Lys was my personal favorite of this NF, I am more than satisfied with this choice. I really like the song. It is simple, catchy, modern and gets in one's ear very easily......that is what ESC needs to be - simple, catchy and there shouldn't be much philosophy there. This is one of the better recent Swiss entries. The only thing I am skeptic of is that the song reminds me of "Highest Heights" (which failed), but I hope this one will have more success in Baku. A great opener of a promising ESC season for me.

For now, 8 points

The vocal performance for Highest Heights wasn't very good, though. I don't think you can make any judgement on how this type of song will fare based on Switzerland 2009.
