Couldn't be bothered to listen to it again

I usually hate eurovision-related songs in French but damn, this one is hell of a outstanding ballad. Almost zero lights, lots of smoke and TOP5 easily achieved.

I'd vote for that cute face.

 

[Ezio]

This song deserves all the praise for obvious but for me personally it is too standoffish and aloof. I listened it to it, I liked it, but I don't clicked with it and I am not keen to listen to it again. I don't have this moment like I had with Belgium or Georgia. For now, it is a solid Top 10, but not in my Top 5.

If someone whines in my ears "Answer me" I would shut my ears.

12 points from Austrian jury may be guaranteed, but the televote looks more sketchy to me.

 

[Storm]

Much better than She Got Me but not sure this will get close result-wise.

 

[Gera11]

Wow. Mysterious, nocturnal and hauntingly beautiful. It's almost as if this is the other side of the coin of the Dutch entry, that entry is warm and optimistic, whereas this one gives me a very dark and cold feeling. And I believe that is done on purpose. Not every song has to be happy or upbeat. The French language adds such a mood to this, I love it. THIS KIND OF SONG IS WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DELIVERED TOM LEEB, YOU NINNYHAMMER.

Since this year they had to choose something that would succeed the absolute banger that is "She Got Me", I did not have big expectations. I thought they'd go to a Cyprus route of going with a bop again, but missing the point, in a "Replay" fashion. Instead they went on another route and I appreciate that honestly. Not many countries left to deliver dance bangers, but we have some already, and better to be something really hot like Feker Libi or Hasta la Vista than a half-assed attempt (yes i'm shading Replay again).

So hmm, am I seriously giving another 12 today? What is happening to me lmao. Yes, I'm giving it .
Stanning two years in a row

i actually like it quite a bit but will need more time to get used to his peculiar voice and the song's unusual structure. nevertheless, incredibly ballsy move by switzerland. 6 points now but i'm sure it will become more.

also, i love how switzerland is making a point of making big 5 countries look bad - last year it was "oh, sister was one of our rejects, germany can have fun with it i guess lol" and this year it's "gjon was gonna apply to DE but since france didn't do that we got him for ourselves lol". switzerland queen of shade

 

[Puma11]

But that AAAAAAAAAAAH part touch me every single time.


It's so beautiful.

 

[Brandt]

of all the ballad songs in 2020, this one holds the trophy after hooverphonic tbh. very good and definitely will be a grower.

 

[Uto]

It just doesn't get anywhere near me. I feel absolutely nothing when listening to this. It's just kind of there. Too bad.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Absolutely sublime and evocative, 10 from me

 

[abenteuer]

This is the best song from the Eurovision 2020 cycle so far.

 

[Edweis]

First things first, thank you for sending a song in one of your 4 official languages. Second, what a voice I don't always like this type, but here it works perfectly fine, I love his tone.
This is definitely a ballad I can get behind, for now it's a solid

 

[Romeo]

Not usually a fan of songs like this but.... I approve!!

Me when I hear the song and the bookies haven't lowered the odds yet:

 

[Uto]

This song going shorter is insanity to me. Who is going to vote for this exactly? Feel like this is an absolutely hopeless entry.

 

[NikolaiMoller]

This song really needs a good staging and great vocals. Otherwise, I see it NQ.

IF it's staged right and his vocals are on point, I could see this very high.

Hit or miss for me.

 

[theCONWEL]

I think I've got a new #1. Absolutely stunning entry, really really captivating, and an amazing vocalist delivering it as well I'm in love with the vocal riff he does in the chorus 12points, easy!

 

[Decayingbooks]

This song going shorter is insanity to me. Who is going to vote for this exactly? Feel like this is an absolutely hopeless entry.

If he can deliver it live I can see it doing really well with the judges, plus the televote of countries like France, Portugal, Spain, Austria, UK, San Marino and Albania (he performed in Albania's the voice last year). I'm not sure how well it will do with in eastern and northern europe, televote-wise, but it could be a judge darling.

Edit: Just read that his parents are from Albania and Kosovo(he grew up in Switzerland), so I think that Albania and Serbia's televote will give him some points

 

[Puma11]

Who will gonna vote? Everyone.

 

[EscUKFan]

After a few more listens I’m upgrading this to

 

[Datura]

my fave so far, curious what the staging will be like
