Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Switzerland chooses its entry for neighbouring Vienna 2015 Eurovision this Saturday. Six songs are left in the race after the usual lenghty 3-way selection process. Conchita Wurst will be there. But how are the songs? My favourites are Timebelle and Andy. Licia is in with a chance, too, I think. If any of those three wins I'm pretty satisfied, even if none of them is really great unfortunately.... Timebelle - Singing about love / live Quite nice, she's got a memorable voice. This song is somehow Swiss, which is a bonus in this case. Rather catchy. Maybe I will wake up singing my love, I mean this tomorrow, who knows?  Mélanie René - Time to shine / live Sounds like a demo, need a remix badly. This will be eaten alive by the various warriors if selected. Similar in style but only worse and without energy. Tiziana - Only human / live She sounds actually better in the live version. The song's nice, she's got a good voice. But that's all. Not very mem...

The long Swiss 3some has come to an end after live auditions yesterday and we have the six finalists. The German speaking entries are from Andy McSean, Timebelle and Tiziana. Tiziana is no surprise, and I was pretty sure Timebelle would please the jury as well and Andy is a pleasant surprise in the line up. The French ones are Licia Chery and Mélanie René while the Italian one is Deborah Bough that I find a bit surprising.... At this point I think I'm for Andy, followed by Timebelle and Tiziana. Licia is bubbling under and might surprise live while for me Mélanie and Deborah are out for now.... The next step is the final in the end of January 2015.... Who is your favorite? Andy McSean - Hey now Timebelle - Singing about love Tiziana - Only human Licia Chery - Fly Mélanie René - Time to shine Deborah Bough - Take me back to 23

The Italian language RSI in Switzerland has also chosen its three entries for the auditions in December. The jury, including Paolo Meneguzzi has chosen these three: The Vad Vuc - Cocktail e fantasmi Deborah Bough - 1, 2, 3 take me back to 23 Elias ft. Zero in On - Your perfume Vad Vuc is last year's entrant Sebalter's ex-band, Deborah comes from The Voice 2013. Something tells me we may not be celebrating two in a row for RSI come January....
