Well sometimes I forget Switzerland are even in Eurovision
They're very low-key when it comes to their selections
Well sometimes I forget Switzerland are even in Eurovision
It's also that their songs are usually middle-of-the-road: not bad, not scandalous, not quirky, not ridiculous but not great or groundbreaking either. 2014 is no different in that regard.

I've always thought Switzerland deserves to be a 'Big'.

Switzerland are just unlucky. I like lots of their entries, 2005, 2009, 2012 and of course this year. I just wish them lots of luck and hope to get into the final at least.
The problem of
I didn't know this
they hate their neighbours?

I didn't know this
are the invadors, and the underdogs... They call the 3rd world...Well, basiclly,
is a construction of German speaking, French and Italian people that united under a constitution. But the main unity of the country is the fear of being invaded and the despise of the others (less rich obviously...) that's why they refuse to enter . Though the French speaking part + Basel are open to it...
Well, basiclly,
They call
the 3rd world? They've obviously never heard of us Well it's true what they say, you'll learn something every day, thanks toinou

Well, basiclly,
I am shocked indeed. I always imagined Switzerland as a country really far away from judices, also friendly to their neighboors.

I dont know the opinions in non german speaking part of the country, but i never heard someone call
3rd world. Most people in my part of the country likes , and ... only has some haters, not really because of the WWII thingy, its more about that this people have the feeling that they invade Switzerland right now, because most immigrants come at the moment from to . Another problem is (and i expect its the same in other part of the country) that some people from Germany may feel that Switzerland is just the same because of the same language, so they think they dont have to assimilate a bit into our culture.Not my opinion, but thats what some people feels and like always: fearfull voices are always louder than the ones from open minds, so please dont say its Switzerland as whole and also its surely very different in the regions because of the language borders inside our country.
And we refuse to enter the
in first because we would lose our direct democracy if we would join.About the song: like the most times in the last 10 years
sends something i like... but i dont love... such songs are mostly on the bottom half of my top10, so i would be happy if he reaches the final. ^^

You're from Zurich ?
Well it's people from Genève that despise us you know... Because indeed our levels of life are very different... But as well, some weeks ago there was a documentary that studies all countries (last one was about Indonesia). They asked Romand people what they thought about us. Obviously we are lazy, dirty, obsessed with holidays and being busy doin' nothin' (we are a country of Ace Wilders !) and all... We are waiting for the state to pay us everything... That's just how the French speaking part sees us...
And indeed, I've got friends in Zurich. They say there are more and more Germans settling there for money. But there again, one of my best friend who is and visited a friend in Zurich. People bashed and insulted her as she was begining to speak in German, and she had to speak French and to hide she was German... 
BtW I know several people in. They are always very nice and kind, and I find the country extremely beautiful. But the truth is that we have extremely few contacts to the French speaking part of ... They despise us and French people are always very suspicious towards their Swiss neighbours.
At least, there are so many problems with Belgium, and even more now as Flanders is letting Walloons away, but we share some brotherhood...
BTW, I really like Sebalter. I hope he gets to the finals !
