Switzerland: Recap on what's been submitted - PART 1!

SRF opened submissions a few weeks ago so I thought it's time to look into what has been sent in. Anyone can enter and therefore many international artists have submitted offerings hoping to fly the Swiss flag. This is the first part - and the songs here are only songs that have been sent into SFR, not the other two broadcasters. There are some pretty decent songs. Some pretty crap ones too though...

• Firstly, I have to share this. Männerchor Steili Kressä entered a song about IKEA last year and they return with Coupe Danmark. They're dressed up as vikings. It's quite a catchy little tune - well the flute sections are catchy.
• Ilary also enters the Swiss selection for the second year in a row. Her song is great. Could April Il Tuo Cuore make Kreuzlingen? This blogger would be delighted if she did... 
• Michael James enters a catchy dance song entitled It's Not Impossible! He wrote a few NF songs last year including "I Need A Hero". I wish him the best of luck. 
• Jerome Mevis will try and fly the Swiss flag with All We Can Do. A beautiful acoustic ballad - one of my favourites in this years Swiss selection, so far... 
• Gosia, from Poland, is trying her luck with I'm not afraid - it's clocked almost 100,000 views on YouTube. Pretty impressive, huh!

Part 2 will come in a few days... ;)
