Top 5 for Switzerland...hope yoiu make the final this time!
test testtest
switzerland switzerland
I like this song....verymuch actually...plus it's in french which I think it fits it perfectly! I'd love to see it in the final....besides this year's songs are overall very weak! I'm afraid that it won't happen though...like last year's fantastic and yet so misjudged entry!
Good luck Switzerland, 10 points from me!
I´m sorry, I forgot the wonderful Slovakia - brilliant!
After all, my personal favorites:
1 Romania
2 Germany
3 Sweden
4 Switzerland
5 Israel
but ... Europe will decide different, of course, even the whole Balkan is a bit boring this year, always always always the same. No strong Greece, no hit from Turkey and a weak Norway.
Very exiting!
I like this song and I love French language.
Good luck, Switzerland !
Liebe Grüße in die Schweiz und viel Erfolg.
Ein schöner Titel!
Hmm not too bad and sung in French which helps - middle of the road but compared with most of the other rubbish entries this year it's definitely one of the better ones
Well this is in my top 5 this year, but then I only like about 5 songs this year so that's quite easy..it's like years ago when I came 3rd in a swimming competition at primary school and my parents were so proud ...I never told them there were only 3 swimmers in the race! : -) !
and also please change your hair stlye 
ok somesongs are bad or nice. but when i hear this song i really feel terrible. i dont know why. but i know i really dont like his voice.
The lyrics are nice, it's uptempo and compared to so many other crap songs, it is indeed one of the best songs this year.
THIS HAS TO GET INTO THE FINAL.
AND THIS IS IN MY TOP 5
1, ALBANIA
2, SPAIN
3, SWITZERLAND
4, DENMARK,
5, ICELAND
THE REST FOR ME ARE VERY POOR ,THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST ESC , CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO BE OVER ,HOPE FOR BETTER NEXT YEAR ,
This year is a very puzzling year. Never have I felt so underwhelmed as each country revealed their selection.
I'm beginning to think this Swiss song is one of the better songs in this year's competition. It has a great vibe to it without feeling corny.
I really can't understand why so many ppl don't like this song! 
I mean, it's just an average song, but compared to the other entries this year it's a masterpiece lol! 
He will become 2nd from the last position (that is if he passes semis which I doubt, since you must be malformed to vote for this..)
I don't think this song can pull it off when it comes to a live performance. It sounds good in the video, nothing spectacular with all the audio editing that goes into a piece like this ... uphill battle for the Swiss I think.
I'm charmed by this song and singer!
Je voterai pour Michael et sa merveilleuse chanson, le soir du 27 mai 2010, c'est sure. A mon avis, une place à la finale est largement méritée!
Bonne chance à la Suisse!
Horrible.
He also looks like Hugo, from the interactive game show on TV.
i liked the first version more, still in the better half of songs this year IMO
I personally find this very monotone!!!!!!!! very monotone indeed 
Not my cup of tea! sorry
But Good Luck Switzerland 
I like hearing the French language and I guess thats why I like this song...
I like it a lot but now i secretly want a gold jacket lol.
this song is shite, poland, ireland, armenia to win!
I really like this song, how people can like Poland and not this I don't know?
But the problem is his ears, I know it's horrible, but they are such a distraction!
Switzerland were really good last year and in 2008 but this is shite to me. Nothing about the song or the performer would make me want to vote for it.
I highly doubt this will make the final - maybe juries might go for it - but its a shame cos I expected more from the Swiss
