🇨🇭 ESC Reaction to Switzerland: Nemo - The Code

[@bazzi3473]

Nemo's sister was the creative director behind the video!

[@gillr9728]

She’s awesome! 10/10

[@DramaQueenMalena]

Her name is Ella Mettler. She's 22 and a very talented photographer.

[@katiaViPo]

A very talented family 😊

[@taniaphillips3881]

@@DramaQueenMalena Wow she's only 22 - I thought she was older. That's fabulous.

[@bazzi3473]

Not without reason is the code the number one in the odds. Best song this year... by far!

[@katiaViPo]

Agree 👍🏾💯

[@vaseline69]

[@Alex-lp6bg]

Will probably get crowned by the jury and nobody else will have a chance as per usual

[@MrTomyxl]

That’s not true!

[@AnAmericanInDenmark]

I really really really hope that the casual viewers love this song and vote for Nemo!!! I know the die-hard fans are on board, but it might be tough for the final-night-only viewers to cast their votes for this one, since I think the song def. gets better the more you listen to it. It would be fantastic to see Switzerland win with such an amazing song 😁

[@esc1074]

That's the big question, will casual viewers appreciate this? Im not sure about it. Imo its less approachable than some other potential entries and will everyone go for the lqtbgh + varieties?? Not meant as disrespect but nowadays its all in your face with the required education adressing wise (they, them? Sorry no idea). Do they want this in their face as well at Eurovision? I dont know. Again great entry but this is my down side

[@on_the]

That's right, HE WON! 🎉😊❤

[@antonkern639]

this has everything 2 win Eurovision ...💛💚💙💜🤎🧡 vocals live... staging.. performing... creativity...and this special uniqueness

[@ESC_ChrisM]

So I really loved this song - automatic top 5 personally since I first heard it. THEN I went to Madrid Pre-party and this song gave me such clear winner vibes when Nemo sang it live. What a person, Nemo is your favourite golden retriever puppy with their energy when you meet them in person. And then this live gave me such good goosebumps in Madrid, and can't wait to see it again in Amsterdam this weekend and then I see a very very very clear path to victory for Switzerland this year. But that means expensive Eurovision next year booooooo (I don't care, NEMO needs to win!). Watch the live performance on Swiss national TV, which was the day after Madrid I think...it was incredible. And now I have two non-binary artists in my top 5. What a year! Love so many songs, and it has something for everyone of every taste.

[@Elisuki]

Who is the other non-binary artist of your top 5 ? 😍

[@jorgebarros397]

This has to win. Switzerland deserve it so much. Nemo is amazing ❤️

[@Ninterd2]

Oh, I also caught the joke that you said Sweden was next up and you uploaded Switzerland first! Love the meta humour.

[@sus1221]

I just love Nemo so much. I feel like The Code took me on a journey. At the beginning I was enjoying the orchestra and the pretty verse/chorus...then when the rap part hit....damn. It came at just the right time as a palette cleanser for me, to keep my attention. I thought the high singing parts were super impressive and lovely...but am so glad the song has more variety. Also absolutely LOVE the bridge. It has a beautiful melody and lyrics. "Somewhere between the 0s and 1s" is *chef's kiss* - it's just a delight. I've loved seeing Nemo interact with the other contestants in the preparties too... they're just so much fun.

[@IgnisAstrorum]

I gotta say I love the Jamiroqaui-esque outfit Nemo wears in the music video during the rap section. Peak style

[@saranissen6210]

As of now, it is the favorite in the odds to win. It is in my top 5, and I love it so much, and I heard they did great at the preparties so far. Yes I also got from it is, that they got back on track and broke the code, when they accepted themself(as I know they are non binary)/loved themself more, and didn't care about haters, so to me this song is about self-love and acceptance, and the ticket to happiness is yourself, so that was why the ticket had a mirror on the back.

[@leowindow]

Thank you for your great reaction to Switzerland's contribution. It was a pleasure... &: Bravo Switzerland!🥰

[@ERG11]

And let me tell you, they can sign like this live! As shown on the Pre Parties.

[@djsherbetx]

while my heart desperately wants Rim Tim Tagi Dim to win, I would happily have this win. The tailspin I was in after listening to this the first time, but kinda digged all of it. It's so chaotic it's bloody brilliant

[@AnAmericanInDenmark]

Agree 100% ❤

[@MrTomyxl]

This isn’t close to Baby Lasagna song!!!

[@getoutim07]

​@MrTomyxl Baby Lasagnas song is decent but his voice isnt very good. Nemo has a good overall song and good vocals

[@djsherbetx]

Also, yay you are doing a draft, but are you guys going to do a personal top 10 video like you did in 2022? Love your videos and chaos almost there!

[@taniaphillips3881]

Wow I love this reaction (you'd done enough research to say They which really helped). This reaction was like watching my own reaction. This song is so special - in between the 0s and 1s is where we non binary folk live, the Bond music feel just brought it home for me. This has been my winner from the moment I saw it, with a question mark because of the live performance, but then I saw the live performance I knew.

[@taniaphillips3881]

I didn't enjoy Gjon's Tears - I saw another act that year and thought - yep that's the winner.

[@taniaphillips3881]

PS this reminds me of Kate Miller Heidke's Zero Gravity

[@Mark-yd2cv]

OMG just bought my ticket to Eurovision in concert in Amsterdam for the weekend. So excited to see them!

[@yvkon]

Tyler's bashing of Gjon's Tears....all the girls just moved to create a gap between them and him 😂. Personally I love Gjon's Tears. However this song, Nemo puts the bar real high. Wonderful.

[@2Tim9]

Nemo identifiy as non-binary. This represents Europe so much. Best winner at ESC

[@stefano757]

I need Nemo to win Eurovision.

I feel the exact same way :) love Norway so much!! The live vocals are out of this world, but I’m really hoping for Nemo to win, for the enby representation

You’re welcome anytime to Switzerland but your picky friend needs to get used to Gjon 😜 I am really happy your reaction but at the same time really worried knowing your reaction last year to Loreen, coz Nemo really needs to win this 😜

[@SANDUSK471]

Glad you picked that up, "somewhere between the 0s and 1s" aka binary code aka the code because they are nonbinary! The live performance needs the phasing badly because it feels a bit too all over the place

[@greeneagle1919]

I have a feeling this will win the jury vote. Something else (maybe Netherlands or Croatia) will win the televote, but neither will win. Maybe Italy will be second in both but win overall. Really exciting year!

Scottland? Serbia? Suomi? - SWITZERLAND OF COURSE! 😎 And I agree with the husband on Gijon Tears’ heights. But as I was in the pool that choose the song in 2021, believe me, we did you the most little harm possible with selected entry. 🤣

if this doesn't win.... eurovision is dead😅😅

[@Wamubodo]

To be honest, there is not even a question. Tyler even mentioning top 5? I'm not from Switzerland but this song....

[@joebloggs396]

There's always questions. But what matters to many is what they like and not whether they think they are backing something tipped to be a winner.

[@maver1ck432]

What do you mean?

[@Mad_Flavor]

normal i listen underground-rap. its so far far away from Pop, Opera or everything else on the ESC. But thats just a brilliant song. Not my Music, but i can judge neutral

[@joebloggs396]

@@Mad_Flavor This song isn't opera, it just has a snippet of Mozart there. And the comparison some make with Bohemian Rhapsody is bogus too. It's ok, but the hype overtakes the song.

Amazing vocal skills but the rest did not give a winning vibe! to be honest I loved a lot more Greece's staging from todays rehearsals , amazed by that !

[@Leifdk1]

Ah, yes. Didn’t exactly love it at first but it definitely grew on me. I like it. It’s a quite successful merging of several genres. It shouldn’t work but it kind of does. And it won’t be forgotten. It’s just outside my personal top 10 but I can understand why it might be some fans’ favorite. It should be something to behold if they play their cards right and could in theory do well with - certainly the juries - but even to a lesser degree the viewers. Now, I doubt that this will be a commercial hit. But on the night…? If everything comes together and nobody steals their thunder, it could theoretically win. For some reason I remain hesitant about that specific outcome though. I don’t think this could WIN the televote, I’m not even sure it will be top 3. But if the juries respond well to it, it may not have to. However, that’s a lot of ifs. I do see this top 3 overall if they don’t fumble the execution though. And I do enjoy the song and am hoping it will be a spectacle.

[@lolsaXx]

Scotland is the best "S" country in Europe.

[@joebloggs396]

Very melodramatic so not something I think many would want to hear unless in the mood for it. There are other worthy songs this year but people often want to jump on hype and hope they back the winner. The best part for me is likely the quiet section near the end followed by the main section. But the hook it closes with isn't the best, and earlier on the high pitched long note would have been better just done once. The rap sounds better live but it's still an episodic song. The idea of different carriages with different kinds of people is probably taken from Snowpiercer. The message 'you can be what you want' we've seen many times and also even elsewhere this year.

[@gillr9728]

It’s ok to not like a song, but I think you can’t just assume that people are only liking this because it’s a potential winner. This years Eurovision for me is probably one of my favourites as there are so many songs I like, but every time I’ve listened to this song I don’t need to be in a certain mood to still enjoy it. I hope you enjoy the contest!

[@joebloggs396]

@@gillr9728 I'm not just assuming that. Some will have liked it from the start without following betting odds. But the fixation on who wins does produce a bandwagon effect, and probably effects juries.

[@Snnaana]

For me it's one of very few songs I could put on playlist at anytime. While it does have a bit of everything in it, i think it's perfectly balanced and transitions are not harsh. I often catch myself singing this song without even thinking about it while doing stuff around house or work. Also, most of the time I disslike peoples "favorite", but this song really got all my attention in first 10 seconds and I already kinda liked it... Im not even supporter of all this gender stuff , but It's very well written song for it's theme.

I don't think the public will like this. The song has no soul, in my opinion. Also, a bit repetitive: 4:02 and 4:42 (don't get the idea of these parts; too dramatic).

[@squall545]

Its one of the songs that people enjoyed the most on fist lesson for sure. But the video is really good. If they have a good staging they will go top 5 easy. But with a bad staging it can go really low. But criticized this song on the variety is quite absurd.

"It's a me train" sums it up. This is all about Nemo. It gave me nothing. A jumble of self-regard and self-absorption. - Not feeling it. 😉

[@sebastian0107]

And yet it resonates with millions of people and it's firmly at no. 1 in the Polls. I love it! But you don't have to of course.

[@ShinjiSings]

Especially other nonbinary people resonate with the song. Because it's not "a me train". It's a song about having to come to terms with yourself not being who you thought you where and not being who society wants you to be. This song is along the lines of "This is me", "I am what i am", "Defying Gravity" etc. These songs may sound like they are completely egotistical songs, but they are so much more.

[@alipanroosendaal9503]

@@ShinjiSings I resonate with that journey. However, that does not blind me to the fact that this song and act (similar to Sheldon Riley's) is self-indulgent in the extreme, wallowing in self - absorbance and egotism.

@@alipanroosendaal9503 The lyrics resonate with every person who's had a Coming Out-phase of some kind. Maybe you didn't; that's fine. Many songs are 'Ego'-documents: Bohemian Rhapsody? I will survive? Don't let it bother you; you don't like it; no harm done.

It feels so funny that my favs are always at the bottom, but the Jury Vote is rigged so therfore, i don't think of the contest as a real competition.
