again It is Eurovision time! Help, thinking now of the one, others look forward to the annual TV spectacle. Although it is only in may so far, but today, the Swiss post has announced. The Freiburg-based singer Gjon's Tears to represent the country in Rotterdam. "Répondez-moi" is the Song that he wants to build on last year's success of Switzerland.

This is remarkable, but the ESC Mottos are about the same as replaceable as the motto of the Street Parade. The Eurovision is a competition where candidates are rewarded mercilessly with the points or be punished. And the 21-year-old Gjon's Tears as all the other candidates before deciding to make a sensitive Singer-Songwriter or with a mood of firecracker or a smash ballad the ESC to overwhelm the audience. Decided for the Latter; "Répondez-moi" is a well-lubricated ESC-power song. Could probably generically for a top result, but for the final qualification it rich.

A disadvantage of the language. Since 1988, the canadian Céline Dion won the contest with "Ne partez pas sans moi" for Switzerland, managed this is not a French sung Song more. To Gjons favor, in turn, speak of his descent, the him points from Albania assures, where he ranked already as a 12-Year-old in the case of "Albanians Got Talent" the third place. Also in France, Gjon is not Unknown in "The Voice: La Plus Belle Voix", he managed it to the semi-finals. And in the case of "The biggest Swiss talents" he reached eight years ago the same rank.

"Répondez-moi" written by Gjon's Tears along with the song Xavier Michel, Alizé Oswald and Jeroen Swinnen in the Swiss Songwriter-writers Camp. A Jury, consisting of 100 TV viewers and international experts, has chosen him out of 500 posts. But whether he can compete in Rotterdam, really – read: whether the event will be held at all – and, in addition, the Coronavirus decides probably.
