Switzerland SWITZERLAND 2024 - Nemo - The Code

[ESC United Mod Team]

I think it's going to be very hard to nail this live. Because there is basically no vocal break during the 3 Minutes. Nemo is going to need lots of stamina to work his way through opera, rap and pop.

They is currently part of «Sing meinen Song Switzerland»

This gives me a headache.

I agree with ThePeaceAround, a great song - and indeed with a lot going on but cohesive actually. I don't find the Italian song perfect though unlike her, but it's very good too - just not my cup of tea.

SWITZERLAND EUROVISION 2024 - REACTING TO ‘THE CODE’ BY NEMO (FIRST LISTEN…WOW WOW WOW)

Hi guys, and welcome back to my channel! If you’re new here, my name’s Rachel and I’m a huge Eurovision fan as well as a musician.In today’s video, I reacted...

The Code reminded me about this brilliant Bjork's B-side from 2001 - Verandi. It's the best B-side of this century for me, I've listened to a truckload of songs and that's my favourite b-side or a bonus kind of song I guess. Listen to it people and tell me what do you think about it, it's an instant type of song. If you won't like it first time around then unlikely you ever will unless your taste changes a lot and then you play it again.

I've made a video, containing my views on the entry representing Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024: Nemo - "The Code"

Juries will Eat. This. Up.

That's a jury winner, right here. 10 years after Conchita. Rim tim rim tim tagi dim will sweep televotes, but I think this is our winner this year. After 4 attempts of sending cute twinks to Eurovision, Switzerland is finally gonna make it I think

Memo to Europe: Top 5 Reasons Why Switzerland SHOULD Win Eurovision This Year 🇨🇭 (Editorial)

All opinions expressed in this article are those of the person quoted and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the other team members or ESC United as a

A victory for Switzerland or Croatia or Belgium would be better for the contest indeed than for one of the other countries lurking in the betting top 10.

Again after a Swedish victory, number of participants went down. Montenegro and others can't justify their participation if their audience feels that Eurovision is not meant for them.

Italy, Ukraine, Sweden and Netherlands are steamrollers since quite some time.

However, Switzerland is the most expensive country in Europe after Liechtenstein. If some think they can't afford Sweden, they can definitely not afford Switzerland.

So as a gesture of hospitability, Switzerland should consider hosting in Geneva or Basel, border cities, instead of Berne or Zurich.

Nemo is surrely a voice artist my dark horse this year change my vote from 7 to 10 pts

I actually think this song could win. I don't like him or his science denying message. It reminds me of a Kate Miller-Heidke song like "words" possibly? I like the song. I just don't like him

 

[Romeo]

Also it's more than obvious he will wear a dress in Malmö which will split the vote from country to country. Yes I think he will win but I can see a number of juries giving him 0

There is nothing science denying in having a non-binary gender identity.

Nemo also uses they/them pronouns, so it would be good to respect that as well.

From what I can tell, back in 2014 only 9 countries out of 37 did not give Conchita Wurst any jury points at all, and 4 of those countries are not competing this year, so gender nonconformity probably isn't a threat in that sense.

I think it's mainly Belgium with their entry being potential jury competition.

I don't think this is a jury magnet as some expect tbh

I think you do have a point. I think both many jury member and televoters may dislike Nemo's gender/person. Conchita was in my book a different story. With the beard Conchita may have seemed more "playful" or more "drag".
If the presentation on stage is too androgynous and the focus is on pronouns that might influence the number of votes.

 

[rasmuslights]

I think both Belgium, France, Ukraine and even Italy are more jury-friendly than Switzerland.

I even think the UK will do better.

It will split the vote the way Israel, Iceland will split the vote. Some esc fans will refuse to vote for Iceland because Hera didn't condemn Israel for defending itself. Some will condemn Israel for defending itself. Whether you believe Eurovision is political or not is your opinion but when countries call for a boycott of a certain country on political grounds... It's political

I honestly don't know what to make of that live snippet, lol. (And yes, yes, overanalyzing 10-second snippets can always be misleading, but it's all we've got for now).

On one hand, Nemo's clearly able to give a powerful, clear vocal, even when moving around a lot. On the other, their intonation feels too aggressive here, and those movements give "Blanco stomping onto stage at ESC" vibes.

Present this in May as-is and it's flopping, but I feel like it at least shows the right ingredients/talent; it just needs to be controlled and managed right.

When this song was released I totally was like WTF is this. I had it at point all the time. But actually I started liking it over the weeks. The chorus is very nice. I'm also okay with the opera parts now. And is giving me winner vibes now. It will all depend on the live performance though. From to points!

 

[Kentish]

Does anyone know how to watch SRF1 outside of Switzerland? Nemo's first live performance is shown in full on the channel tomorrow, but their website's stream is geoblocked, and VPN set to Zurich didn't help, either.

I assume there's also no livestreams from the Madrid preparty tomorrow?

We have no worries vocally now, still have concerns with staging though
