I'm very happy with
Switzerland
's choice on this one! It's very different, captivating, and
charismatic. I can sense the energy on stage, and I have no doubts
that it will translate well on stage in
Copenhagen
as well! I just have this strange wish that the song was in
French...

Now this song is just again a week try by the swiss public. So I
think this song will not even be close to qualify. The vocals are
bad, the english language doesn't suit the soloist.

This shares obvious similarities
to Alexander Rybak's performance but then much weaker and with
an Irish, pop, folk feel to it. An annoying whistle too. This
is a song that people will either love or hate with few in between.
He clearly enjoys himself on stage and it is undeniably catchy but
I doubt the Swiss flag will be seen on the scoreboard come
Saturday night.

I love everything on this song except from the singer voice.
Even on the studio version his voice is awful and that shows that
nothing can safe this song from staying in the Semi's

I
cannot say that I don't like the swiss music, but usually I dislike
their choises for Eurovision. This song is too simple and I cannot
imagine this song without soul in the final in Copenhaguen

Lets start with the positives, I liked the bit where he played
the Violin, the trouble is that I hated every thing else! He can't
sing and he looks possessed when he whistles! Scarey!!

I quite enjoy this entry! Seems like a great song to drive along
to, or to have playing during a TV advertisement... I am a bit
worried as to how they'll handle performing in an arena though - the
live national final performace was really sketchy - particularly
with the vocals. 3.5 months of rehearsing will hopefully tighten
things up. One of the better songs selected so far.

This guy knows how to keep the attention of the audience and has
a nice catchy song. However, solid tune, great instrumentation, and
the whistling is a great way to hook people into the song. I think
he has some quirky charm, too. Excellent tune. Quirky, love the
fiddle playing on about 2 minutes.

Yes, that is a fresh and original entry from the Swiss but vocals
are bad. I like the violin solo part. Having say that, I think
Switzerland
will struggle to qualify for the Final.

It seems to be a new trend this year .....country influences . I
like the song from
Switzerland
and I love the mandolin !

Whistling ... this song did not
impress me much, I liked Christian Tschanz more. A bit original, it
follows the marks of Anna Rossinelli with its simple and addressed
style and it could work for the Final. But it's just another
listen-to-it-and-forget-it song.

A song that could become something like Hungary 2013. It is
different and could turn out very catchy by the time we get to
Copenhagen
. It is not instantly a song for the final but who knows, with
some effort into the staging of the song in May, we could see
Switzerland
in the final.

Cute, charming, and the whistle adds a
nice hook, but Sebalter's English could use some major polish. We're
talking "sweem against the strim"-levels, here. Liking the
addition of the fiddle, but it's still a borderline qualifier for me
without a bit of tightening-up.

2013 was the year of the drum, will 2014 be the whistling year? I
sure hope not. This is annoyingly catchy but somewhat chaotic and
difficult to decipher.

This is an unusual one. Really surprised it won the final. I
can't see it getting many votes but the chorus is quite catchy even
If the English is a bit dodgy.

This is a pretty undescript and
inoffensive song but it’s all rather forgettable. The best part is
the instrumental in the middle. I’m really not sure if this would
get enough votes to qualify, as most people will quite like it, but
not many would pick up the phone to vote for it. At the moment, a
borderline qualifier.

I
find it very difficult to review this as it actually makes me feel
physically ill. It’s like a pastiche of every recent Eurovision
cliché by some not funny comedian. I can’t believe Eurovision has
sunken so low and it is things like this that give the contest a bad
name amongst some people.

Well at least it's preferable to
Switzerland
's terrible 2013 entry! However, the 2014 offering is no
Eurovision classic. The whistling, startling facial expressions and
garbled English are all off-putting. There is the makings of a tune
in there somewhere but the production lacks 'oomph'. There's still
time for improvement but as it stands, this one feels like it will
not be escaping from semi-final land.

I like the whistling and he's easy on the eye! It's a bit quirky
and I doubt it'll qualify, but I still quite like it

Ok. I guess. Like a number of songs this year, there's a very
'average' feel to this. Perfectly harmless, but nothing that grabs
me.

Pleasant but his voice is annoying and I don't know why. I like
the folk middle 8 but the rest of the song is nothing special. It
also feels like he is signing at a different beat to the song - very
weird!

Swiss Country music? This doesn’t
sound very 2014 to me and the whistling belongs in the 1950s. Not
the kind of song I want to see in Eurovision. I was disappointed
enough with the 2013 winner, please let that disappointment stop
here.

The tune is ok but everything else to

'hunter of stars', it'll be a hunter of points! Toilet break time.

Well it's not unpleasant, but there's nothing much to like

I really dislike whistling and this

whistling this would be ok...

This country has entered some cracking
songs which have failed to qualify. This irritating Hillybilly
number will easily maintain the tradition of a Swiss-less final.

Nice whistling but that's about it. I don't really get this song.
It's pleasant enough but I was rooting for 3 for All. He really
needs to practise banging that drum in time with the music too.
