Half the song that Heart Shaped Hole is, but still the best choice for Switzerland.

I'll take it. Certainly a relief that Switzerland won't disappoint the living crap out of me like Denmark did.

Obvious choice. Simply, there was nothing else. This can qualify thanks to the juries, but I'm not too convinced. 5 points. For me this is the worst Swiss entry since the vampires.

It was the favorite and it probably won by a landslide. I'm very happy, it was the best song and I'm a big fan. Beautiful melody and I'm so happy for Rykka. Go Switzerland, you redeemed yourself from last year's disastrous decision.

Not a surprise. The song is modern, but doesn't convince me totally. Her performance tonight was better than in the audition video I saw. Still, in the high parts there is some work to do imo. But I think, there is a realistic chance for the final. But last year, I thought the same thing and I was wrong, so.... keep my fingers crossed for our neighbors.

There weren't any brilliant songs in Switzerland but Theo would have been a decent choice. This is just boring. A shame since Switzerland have been sending good entries since 2012 :(

Kaceo should've won.. Although their performance wasn't great, it was still better than Rykka's. I don't understand what everyone sees in her. :?

I was also hoping for Kaceo, but she was hyped that much, that I honestly didn't really believe in a victory for "disque d'or".

I must be living on a different plant then everybody else because I don't see what's so great about this. It's just meh, not memorable :oops:

And I'll probably be killed for saying this but I think with good staging "half a smile" would have stood a better chance at qualifying. That song reminded me somewhat of the songs that did qualify for them. Kaceo would have had a chance as well. I don't see this qualifying no matter what staging they do xshrug

I havent followed the suisse NF this year. So I have just watched the winning performance. Rykkas live version definitely isn't very good. I watched and heard the live version; and frankly, I though to myself; "wow - this is really bad".... But after reading some comment here I went to listen to her studio version. A nd it turns out that I quite like the song.
But really - I dont know how to rate this. 2 after the first impression? Or 6 after listening to the studio version? Anyway I am not a big fan....
