Swiss Roll...and Rock

The Rock group Sinplus have won the Swiss national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. 14 acts battled it out for the coveted title including the first ever winner - Lys Assia.

Of the 14 acts in the final, 6 were selected by the German broadcaster SF, three acts were chosen by the radio broadcaster DRS3 , 2 acts qualified through a regional final and 3 acts were selected by the French-language broadcaster RTS using a jury and online voting.

Sinplus was probably one of the better songs in a rather low-quality final. They won the televoting and they will represent Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song Unbreakable. It remains to be seen if it is good enough to get Switzerland through to the final two year's running.
