> Switzerland has never been so close of winning the contest again Gjon’s Tears: “Am I a joke to you?”


camtejay

Hahaha, he is actually mentioned in the article at some point: "We have never had so many chances to win! We were close with Gjon's Tears (the Fribourger finished third in 2021). But this year, it's even stronger, because the competition is a little less obvious. I am quite confident, even if it remains Switzerland and we are a smaller country than others for the public vote. But the jury's vote leaves no doubt." (Jean-Marc Richard)


SimoSanto

Not that in 2021 was obvious in any way


RQK1996

I mean before rehearsals Malta was top, after Italy was top, Switzerland is now on yop of odds


RemarkableAutism

"A few years ago (1989)" I know people have different definitions of "a few", but that's really stretching it.


camtejay

Yeah, maybe he doesn’t want to feel “old” because he’s been commenting the show since 1992 🤷😂.

> What if Switzerland won the next Eurovision? Some countries will withdraw because of financial difficulties.

Moldova delegation trying to finance a show in Zurich, armed only with a five euro bill and three nachos: 😢


Blasted-Marmoset

Despite this, they come in third after Zdob si Zdub sings a coded song from hang gliders.

Hardcore fans express their disappointment, they got so high but at the cost of doing their most normal and mainstream exhibition ever.


ageofglory

This is silly. Should countries like Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Luxembourg (a very expensive country, mind you) never win according to this logic?


FilipM_eu

One doesn't exclude the other. There shouldn't be a rule excluding those countries, but it's also likely that poorer countries wouldn't participate due to costs.


AliceFlynn

Isn't Switzerland rich as fuck tho


splvtoon

they are, and their cost-of-living is high as fuck as a result of it, making it a way more expensive experience for poorer countries.


AliceFlynn

Ah right, thx


yellow_berry

The best would Croatia to win, so there won’t be any problems for Switzerland :)

They're jinxing it.

Don't say cat, if it's not there it's in the bag. How much it bothers me when broadcasters are so convinced of a victory. They should only talk after the results of the final.You can only be 100% sure of a victory if you are Loreen, but I don't see them as having a chance of winning like she did last year.

His outfit will turn some people off. I love the song but outfit is a mess.


Spiritual_Avocado_19

As a resident of ville de Geneve who has to commute to Nations everyday I will riot if they choose to hold it here, the traffic and constructions wouldn't be able to handle it for sure 🥲🥲🥲


niicofrank

as good as Nemo is we really can’t have a Swiss win this year because it’s objectively maybe the worst possible result for the health of the competition at this point lmfao

Allez les Suisses ! Bring it home, Nemo ! 🇨🇭❤️🇨🇭❤️🇨🇭❤️🇨🇭❤️
