My favourites are 'J'ai Envie de Toi' by Paula Marengo and 'I Still Believe' by Yasmina Hunzinger, but I'd be delighted with Swissters xheart

Does anyone know where you can watch the live performances from yesterday? I wanted to livestream them, but my internet was slowed until this morning, and I can't find videos of the performances anywhere yet.

Urrrhhhhh no Swisstersxgaah

Don't know what would be the best choice out of these. 3forAll are the most Eurovisionary of the lot but that might not be a good thing. The song is catchy I suppose. Natacha & Stephanie's song is alright..

OMG what a crappy choice ! :lol: They have killed all the best songs in this trashy bunch one by one... It remains a crappy outdated summer tune, 4 festivals of cheese and Sebalter.

So pleaaaaaaaase ! Sebalter FTW !

4/6 songs from my "wish list" qualified: "I still Believe", "Au Paradis", "Une Terre Sans Vous" and "Hunter Of Stars". Not bad, although I really wanted "Alpha" to qualify as well.

Given the qualifiers, it looks like Sebalter (not even the artist himself is consistent with capitalization, so I won't bother) is the only way to go. No other song has quite what it takes. Sadly, I think 3 For All will take it, because they're known to the general public and the song is that kind of generic, forgettable stuff that for some reason remains popular year after year.

Still, Switzerland has the chance of sending something relaxed and actually interesting to ESC, and that would be Hunter of Stars. Not happy with the qualifiers, but they could certainly have done worse as well.

Wow, the standard in the final is utterly hopeless. All the good songs were eliminated. Sebalter and Yasmina are probably the best, but I don't really care.

Why does it feel like year after year Switzerland has some potentially decent songs to chose from yet constantly pick the most bland and worst for the final? Do they like failing in the semi :confused:

The jury want Yasmina to win,so they made sure she had no competition.They put through cannon fodder so she wins easily.There were far better songs than the other 5 knocked out.Far better.
Yasmina had the best vocals though of all entrants so I can understand the jury doing it,though it does make the voting a bit worthless up to now.I would expect the producers help Yasmina all the way and give her the best staging as well.

Don't care for Yasmina's song at all and find it rather unspectacular. Overall there are no gems left so I guess 3 for all would be my preferrede choice. "Hunter of the stars" is decent too but that's about it.

I agree Matt,the song is pretty poor,though she does has very good vocals.They might re-work the song.Its pretty obvious though the jury have knocked out as many televote friendly songs as possible.They and/or the producers want Yasmina to win.That is why they have selected such weak opposition.
No jury would of selected those other 5.They weren't even close to the standard so its obvious why.
The producers will probably help Yasmina all the way as well with the best staging/running order etc.Doesnt say shel win,but its who they want for sure.
