    Great choice of music with Marcello Alexander, love it!

    I found the perfect way to sort through the Swiss online entries – assume they’re all inaudible rubbish and not bother play them. But saying that, I don’t run an ESC-themed website, so it’s not quite as important if I miss a few of the hundreds of potential NF entries 😉

    You nearly had me there, Peter. And yes, it’s no worse than having to go through all the draft picks for an MLB website (if that’s your thing)!

    I quite like this “Hotel Mama” song but I have a feeling it’s not Swiss year yet again. But I am hopeful about Finland, dance songs sung by females sound promising, maybe there will be something like “Ooh ah… just a little bit”?

  4. Hans-Henning says:

    Uhh! Did somebody mix up the “Grand-Prix der Volksmusik” with the “Eurovision Song Contest” (also as the “Grand-Prix de la chanson”, at least to german speaking audiences) when the submitted Marcello Alexander?

  5. Ewan Spence says:

    If they did mix it up I’ll shake their hand!
