No, I’d never disrespect the lovely and legendary Madame Assia.

Ralph Siegel on the other hand...ugh! Why Lys, why?

Also: Jedward clones? Sinplus remind me a lot more of U2, at least based on that song.

I did note the U2 sound. But the performance from the brothers looked like they are planning to borrow Jedward's "schtick" to me.

I thought the guys English sounded like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcUi6UEQh00

And I wondered how many drugs he had taken. Might give Dima Bilan a run for the money.

I think Ralph's song was just right for the occasion. At least he knows how to build a three minute schlager. Most of the songs presented to the Swiss audience had absolutely no hook.

I never disrespect Swiss clockwork.

Very Classy. Few people can carry off a performance like that now. And her voice is still stong.
