It's a very interesting song but the problem is how could be translated live.
The same question for Belgium Netherlands and Austria too.
How do these people sound live?
The videos are very promising but that's another story.
Austria last year was a clear example
This year SJB will most likely not stage Switzerland's entry. A Swiss newspaper stated that Fredrik Rydman will stage Nemo's song. He is the one who staged "Cha Cha Cha" - Finland last year and "Heroes" - Sweden 2015.
Ooh. I don't know Rydman by name, but those are two nicely-staged entries. Looking him up just now, I saw a Reddit post from about a year ago with this graphic of apparently all the things he's staged at Eurovision & NFs:
Which is... a pretty good resume! Pretty much all of those concepts range from "good" to "great", even if Maps ultimately didn't come together (and I'm giving Jezebel a pass because of the good 'ol dead sun of 2022). Lots of unique sub-stages, and shadows, and gimmicks/high concepts.
I think that's what you want for The Code; it at least feels like a much better fit than the rumors of SJB, who seems to tend a lot more towards "minimalist concepts and mostly empty stages relying on dancing and lighting." The Code needs a staging gimmick, I think, even if I have no idea exactly what that gimmick should be.
I wasn't talking about Austria 22 but Austria 23. Who the hell is Edgar was excellent on clip but live was difficult to translate and didn't have the expected success mostly in the Fandom were waiting for. Even Slovenia 23 had an excellent clip, very hyped, but live wasn't that strong.I'm sure Nemo will nail it live. They have so much experience performing live. Also when Nemo was selected, they had to perform their song live. Nemo wouldn't have won the internal selection if they couldn't sing this song.
I don't know how Austria's internal selection works and how 'Halo' was able to be chosen, even though Pia has difficulties singing live.
My only worry is the staging. This can be a hit or miss, especially with this song. I just hope for the best.

I don't know how Nemo sing, never heard about them.
But this kind of song is strongly related to the staging and live performance.
The same as Austria Netherlands Belgium. If you have watched the clips you know what I'm talking about.
The stage director behind Cha cha cha will direct Nemo's performance!
