Mélanie René - Time To Shine (Switzerland) - LIVE at Eurovision 2015: Semi-Final 2

Live performance in the second Semi-Final of Time To Shine by Mélanie René representing Switzerland at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest

[@user-rg3dz9ir1v]

Easily the most underrated entry of all-time. And no, being the most difficult year ever isn't an excuse for letting this piece of art out.

[@causethereisalightguidingmyway]

She placed 40th out of 40 with 4 points. While deserving to be in the top 5 of the GF. So technically yes, the most underrated entry. At least of the 2010s for sure. In my opinion, the only entry more underrated than this is Czech Republic 2007 which scored 42d out of 42 with just 1 point, while deserving to win the whole contest.

[@davidsanchez7278]

Even if she had not passed, I will continue listening to this song, as I love it.

[@enriquegonzalez517]

[@KajsaBernhardina]

W I N N E R !! She was amazing and she is the winner in my eyes! We voted for this is Sweden and we love the song here. You are great, Melanie!!!

[@KajsaBernhardina]

*in Sweden

[@Hayato2829]

Bernhardina Hörnstein I completely agree with you! She was the WINNER this year for me! 12 points from Japan. You were amazing Melanie and you shone brighter than anyone else!

[@isildur9999]

Bernhardina Hörnstein The same over here! Melanie's song was far better than Cyprus' and many others. Robbed. Greetings from Spain.

[@tkmaster05]

Bernhardina Hörnstein I also agree with you. She deserved the final so much. 12 Points from Germany for the real winner Melanie.

[@gameboyhd3243]

Switzerland is out and i am from switzerland 😢😢

[@eurovisiondiary.5945]

THIS deserved pass to the final!

[@enriquegonzalez517]

Yo tambien lo pienso

[@MmeKastaffiore]

ESC - Spain. More than Poland or Cyprus, for sure. I'm sorry for the Polish lady, but her performance was really weak.

[@eurovisiondiary.5945]

MmeKastaffiore Instead of Cyprus. Poland deserved the pass.

[@MmeKastaffiore]

ESC - Spain. I liked the studio version of Poland. But being honest, the performance was horrible.

[@MediumAnna]

MmeKastaffiore Take into consideration that it's very hard to sing with some muscles of lower stomach and pelvis paralyzed, so she (Monika form Poland) simply cannot do as good as many other singers. In my opinion Melanie sings very good but the lyrics are awful. In short - Belgium should win this year.

[@leoazevedoaaa]

This song received 4 points at all, and the Cypriot one received almost 100. I'll never understand you, Europe

[@nurlanismayilov2696]

The same feelings

[@TrueElemental]

Leonardo Oliveira Azevedo I am half cypriot and i agree 100per cent. I mean its one of my favorite songs. Lots of positivity..

[@leoazevedoaaa]

TrueElemental ASMR​ well, I don't dislike the cypriot song, but I just think that Ireland, Malta, and Iceland had better songs... It could have finished in 10th maybe

[@TrueElemental]

Μy thoughts exacly.. mabye. but for me when i heard it passed. i was like really?

[@sangay9361]

This one wasn't so good

[@vegweiser]

what a shame they didn't pass.. i loved it! best swiss entry since 10 years.

[@techenie_donnyh_trav]

I'm really surprised that this song isn't going into the final. The voice, music and lyrics are all fantastic. Still it's the best song for me. Many greetings from Russia.

[@jnist1-i7y]

It's 2021 and I still can't believe this finished last in whole contest

[@esc_gab]

2024 calling, we still can‘t believe

[@editsomething5342]

I hope she will go in the final! She wrote lyrics, make music, she sings! And she looks so beautiful. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Switzerland! For me, it's a good choice!

[@mbarbara9149]

SHE WROTE IT? That actually makes this masterpiece of art even more underrated

[@aisteleonaviciute2843]

Did Europe fall asleep during her performance or what? I'm surprised she's not in the final. This song deserves to be in the final more than some others that had qualified. Best regards from Lithuania!

[@gregorekvince8888]

In my opinion, the best song at the 2015 festival. I often return to the song.

[@meesbosch]

Most underated song ever in the contest! I LOVE IT!

[@manukcy1596]

What?! She is the last with the lowest points this year, 40/40?! I can not believe that x.x I love this so much♥♥

[@manukcy1596]

JA vorallen die Top 3 haben sich viel zu schnell vom Rest abgesetzt, voll unspannend :(

[@joshukaunarak]

ottolamer Chusik doch! Deutschland und Österreich mussten gar nicht am Halbfinale teilnehmen, also ist dies deren Punktzahl. Außerdem, schlechter als 0 geht nicht und deshalb ist es so.

[@aoe3Chusik]

das platziert sie trotzdem besser als alle die, die im Halbfinale ausgeschieden sind...

[@aoe3Chusik]

Mr D. nein, weil im Finale an sich schon die "Besseren" teilnehmen, und somit herrscht im Finale stärkere Konkurrenz. Aber egal wie mans anschaut, alle 3 waren scheisse obwohl sie gute lieder hatten

[@javicebolla3090]

Mr D. But Switzerland is the last one, because she didn't made to the final (and has the lowest score from the 2 semi-finals). Germany and Austria are 26th and 27th out of the 40 countries.

[@damu4050]

Poor Mélanie René was really underrated. I thought she had a song to finish at least in the top 10. Her song was modern, catchy and well-written. I don't get how she could place last in the 2nd semi-final. Well, Switzerland can still be very proud of her. All the best for next year, from Germany! :)

[@vincentesc]

This is absolutly epic, Her vocals were amazing ! I still don't understand how it finish last... Switzerland is clearly the most underrated country ever (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 deserved Better)

[@causethereisalightguidingmyway]

This comment could've been written by me lol 😁 Switzerland is my favourite country in ESC 🇨🇭

[@mbarbara9149]

Well actually agree.. as a Hungarian I always think that we were the most underrated than I realise that Switzerland actually had it worse... we were always at least qualified for the grand finale...I was nostalgia trippin and looked up this masterpiece and was shocked she did not even made it into the finale....

[@samanthajones87886]

2010 was good too imo…

[@hehedutch]

2019,2021,2023 are also a little underrated

[@oof3397]

@@hehedutch2019? 4th place is not underrated

[@alienlife3215]

I'm so sad!! I love this song so much. Not fare it didn't qualify for the final. Love you Melanie! I got the song on ITunes, listening to it all the time now ;-)

[@Spoopimin]

I voted her and I was so sad when she didn't passed! You deserved to go to the final, your song is amazing and so your voice.

[@selamoor3139]

I'm still bitter that she ended up last. :( Her voice, staging, emotions were perfect. Switzerland deserved at least top 15. Also, I LOVE 2:23, so powerful

[@ManosGrEsc]

What a voice!!! What an amazing stage performance perfectly matching with the mood of the song!!! Melanie you definitely shined last night!!! Damn Greece was in 1st semifinal and i could not vote and surely deserved to qualify...

[@nurlanismayilov2696]

Maybe the most underrated song in the history of Eurovision

[@ketsunoalex4600]

Nurlan Ismayilov No, that's Montenegro 2012

[@theFOF]

Are you talking about Euro Neuro xD? Then I would say Igranka (2013) is the most underrated entry from Montenegro! But we sure can add Melanie René to the list of most underrated entry list.

[@hollandvw4250]

+Nurlan Ismayilov i think with israel 2014.

[@thisismiraclre]

Yes

[@PierreLoranda]

Sure

[@lisaesc1715]

Amazing song and amazing performance.

[@whothehellisbejba]

Still one of my favorites ! Not deserved last place , she deserves to reach the final !!!! Switzerland this year deserves last place, not this year !

[@Anna_65]

Great vocals, perfect staging, beautiful singer and I haven't talked about the song itself yet. I still don't get it how this finished last.

[@EduGreek]

I enjoyed this performance. Cannot believe it is not in the final. At first I didn't like this song, but It has grown on me. Switzerland deserved to be in the final, really!. Well done Melanie & team! .

[@onyx20ful]

Я это видео уже раз 10 посмотрел, как же красиво развивается на ветру ее наряд, в этом видео всё красиво!!!

[@luxlife1434]

I really don't understand how this song could not make it to the finals. Such a beatiful woman singing this beautiful song, the lights, the visual effects, everything is just perfect.

[@beardphrodite]

I can't understand why she didn't qualified and I'm from Spain, I don't think she copied Edurne's dress change because Melanie didn't change her dress, she wears a cape over her dress.

[@beardphrodite]

Emmanuel Ibarra neither do I, there were a lot of good performances and they chose Montenegro instead of this...

[@MmeKastaffiore]

Felipe Welchz Montenegro was amazing. The weakest performances were Poland and Cyprus.

[@elefant1865]

+KAL EL yeah, I think so too.. 'Cause if you look at the points the different countries gave the others, many countries always give the same countries the most amount of points regardless of their performance..for example, (i don't want to offend anyone) the eastern countries hold together really well.. it's always the same, always has been and unfortunately it'll probably always stay the same..😪

[@beardphrodite]

Chanti Becky that's really boring and unfair, it's killing slowly the contest.

[@kika12peggy17]

Felipe Welchz didn't Melanie perform prior to Edurne?

[@zondergezicht]

5 years later, this is still my winner and one of the most underrated songs ever

[@Pure_antidote]

Last in this semi-final? I am really disappointed...

[@diogomartins5363]

Only 4 points?! Why Europe? I love the song ! :) And thanks for 12 points in the televoting :)

Switzerland should give her another chance in some way. She managed to take a hopeless song and made it look like a qualifier. Had this been in SF1 I'm sure she would be there on Saturday.

[@anvudo]

People voted for the countries and not for the songs.

[@kjESCil]

[@thepuddingmaster6712]

Take a moment to think people: This song came in at the VERY bottom... Even a group of Finnish disabled people (no offense of course) got a higher placement than this. You want to know why? Televoting gave Finland 11th place. 11TH! If you really want to get rid of juries, make sure your votes aren't bullsh*t, even when you have empathy for someone ;)

[@yeseniasrevenge3018]

Finland was 10th with the televote. Jesus Christ! Thank God there are juries.

[@pistachiomustachio2311]

So if the juries didn't exist, Finland would've qualified. That makes me sick.

[@teli6350]

Pistachio Mustachio that, the acidic brain bleach* that was Russia's entry last year, and the absolute disaster that was the televotes for Slovenia 2011 are the key reasons why we should keep the juries. * coincidence: Acidic Brain Bleach has the same initials as Anders Brehring Breivik, a radical right terrorist that bombed the Norwegian government, before proceeded to shoot dead 70 left-leaning teenagers 2 hours later in a Worker's Party meeting. Currently sitting 21 years in a 5-star hote... ehm... in a three-bedroom prison cell with a playstation.
