I gave it a third try, but I am losing interest half-way through.

Gjon will get a lot of votes from France obviously as he was on The Voice France. Can't believe our HoD decided to choose Tom Leeb song over this one

This jumped to my 12 points after a second listen. And im not even a ballad person. His voice is so "out of there",so angelic and captivating. It just grabs your soul and strikes it like nothing else i heard before.
I see many comments saying that if not Duncan winning with a similar vibe last year Switzerland would have a huge potential right now. And i say why the f*ck not,its the best one so far HANDS DOWN. Like a Ferrero Roshen candy in a bag of mints.

I am giving it a 5 for now because it's not that appealing on first listen. It's a quality ballad, not dated and so much better than the ballads we are getting. He got an amazing voice though. The song sounds dramatic enough but then it never quite hit the climax. I felt like he is the male version of Paeda from last year. Let's hope the staging will be able to elevate the song.

Here we are with another male ballad and yet I’m sold. It takes a while to get going but the vocals and the composition is such quality. Love the melody. The French definitely helps.

I hope you will never participate in Eurovision. Because with a comment like this you will be trolled by a certain guy claiming that you're a homophobe.

I think androgynous is the word. Am I the only one thinking he bears a striking resemblance to Montaigne? Think it’s the hair.
Hmmm I'm not so sure fingers crossed, it's a lovely song but I should forget it easily if it's early in the running order.

Oh my god. 
This absolutely takes my breath away. Instant 12 for me. I haven't felt this way with a Eurovision song in a while. My favourite entry since Non mi avete fatto niente. This feels much more emotional, special and sincere to me than Arcade ever did, I don't really get that comparison, but maybe it's also because I just could never connect to The Netherlands last year and it left me so cold, but this is.......... something else, gripping, hitting, stunning in an understated way. That chorus is unbelievably good.

The odds went up. They are now at no. 6, overtaking Italy.
Edit: I gave the song 2 more listens, it got better. Comparing to all the ballads we have so far, this is definitely one of the best. The production of the song is really good. Gjon's voice did bring out the emotions of the song. I can't wait to see him perform 'live', I got a feeling he may elevate the song even more for me. I am upgrading this to a 7 for now.

Have anyone read the 32 years cycle theory?
Swiss winning ESC with French song every 32 years?

I just gave this a second and third listen today, after only one yesterday. I liked it yesterday but it was like a 
, now a from me and my #3rd overall.
It is rising in the odds for a reason, if they perform this well in the live version it will go for gold! I dont get bored at all while listening, but for those who do, staging could get rid of that.
Many ballads this year, but I start to mind it less and less. Some of them are really good, like this one, and for me Romania and Croatia. So...I am not complaining.
