Swiss Golden Balls

A stubbled Michael von der Heide for Switerland on next.  Lots of balls hanging from the ceiling and the ´chandelier´effect that we've already seen is placed over the centre of the performance area.  Michael, dressed in (surprise, surprise) gold is accompanied by one guy with a guitar and three female backing singers. 


Vocally Michael is very good, although, initially at least, the backing singers, were perhaps a tad too loud. 

It's quite a measured performance, with a bit of strutting towards the end, and some throwing of bits of golden ribbon on the final notes.

For the past three years everyone has expected Switzerland to qualify and they haven't.  This year the expectation is that they will struggle, so it would be ironic if they made it through.

Tell my PaddyPower account that "everyone" expected them to qualify for the past three years! ;)

Great coverage btw, not being critical. :) Keep it up!
