February 20, 20232 yr Author We were expecting a drop out of nowhere on March 7th for the Swiss but they've gone ahead and revealed their artist two weeks early. He's Remo Forrer, winner of The Voice Switzerland 2020, 21 years of age. I don't know that I'm expecting much from that description but the Swiss delegation have been making rather confident noises regardless (though I would too had I just reinvented a country who qualified twice in 12 years to one that got two top 4s in 2 years, Boys Do Cry notwithstanding).
March 8, 20232 yr Author Why do they all want to write Arcade thinking it would win? perfect description It's more competent than last year. Lyrics are strong. Fundamentally uninteresting as a musical piece.
March 8, 20232 yr In the same half of the semi as Kaarija, Pasha Parfeni, Noa Kirel and (we assume) Loreen I don't fancy this one's chances. If your after something melancholic I think the dutch song satisfies that need better.
March 8, 20232 yr this isn't bad but its not great either. As someone has already mentioned it reeks of arcade but obviously not as good.
March 9, 20232 yr It’s better than I was expecting after reading the comments before listening, but not a stand-out
March 18, 20232 yr I think it’s good. I don’t particular see the similarity with Arcade either or think they were trying to re-create that.
April 14, 20232 yr Ok. I like this a lot now. That's 5 years in a row I've really liked the Swiss entry. They need to stop sending sad boy ballads if they want to win, though. Not everyone can do Arcade and if Tout L'Univers couldn't win in 2021 then it's doubtful they'll manage it with a ballad. Edited April 14, 20232 yr by Colm
