Switzerland– The Italian broadcaster in Switzerland RSI held it’s regional final tonight in Serocca d’Agno near the Lugano lake. Seven songs had been chosen out of a field of 27 entries. These songs competed tonight for the two Italian places in the Swiss national final, to be held December 10 in Kreuzlingen. The two lucky winners were the band Sinplus and Chiara Dubey.
Sinplus presented a very catchy rock/pop song entitled “Unbreakable”. Even tough the song is in English (or so I think) it was quite hard to understand the lyrics due to the very heavy accent of the vocalist. The song has potential tough and I would say it’s one of the favourites in Kreuzlingen.
Chiara Dubey presented one of only two songs in Italian: Her ballad Anima nuova might be a bit too plain to make it to Baku tough. Her performance was quite nice tough, simple and emotional.
These are the results:

I did not follow the show and I sort of gave up paying attention to the Swiss NF at this stage. The two qualifiers are vastly different, but I do not dislike them.
Don’t you like the qualifiers of the French broadcaster? L’autre and Quand je ferme les yeux are quite nice I think…
I haven’t heard them yet.
give them a chance ^^
Of course I will.
As promised, I gave them a chance. Both are charming songs, but I haven’t yet heard a song able to take Switzerland to the final, imo, in the French and Italian selections. I may be wrong, ‘Wrong to let you go’ comes across as the safest bet atm and it may be successful if it works well live. We’ll find out next month.
P.S.: I am now hoping to see ‘Lantern’ by Ben Pyne in the final.
Good choice I think from Ticino last night. Good luck to Switzerland from UK.
by far the best two of that “semifinal”… I haven’t heard any other swiss songs yet
