After weeks of submissions, online voting, and behind the scenes judging, we finally have the 18 act longlist for Die Grosse Entscheidungsshow – the show which will select Switzerland’s act for Eurovision 2015. The Expert Panel stage takes place on 7 December, where 18 will become 6. But before that, we want y’all to have your say.

I am sorry but iMagination by San Dii is amazing i can already see it as a winners song i also love Arbresha – “Same Stars” but i already heard it before San Dii has literally blown me away!!
Alot of good songs! I love Timebelle, San Dii, Arbresha and Celia and Deborah Bough
Bravo Melanie.
Melanie is a winner for me, a natural. She is so talented and has a real presence. I am looking forward to seeing and hearing more of her! Such a beautiful voice. Vote Melanie!
I liked destiny and run. That’s pretty much it lol. There’s some more talent in there, it’s just not something I’d enjoy listening to everyday. I agree with the other comment, those drums and the mystic sound of her vocals could make for an amazing performance.
@bavarson
Honestly what makes you think Arbresha would get null points considering she has basically triple the amount of votes second place has in the poll….? Sounds like someone’s just not happy his favourite didn’t get the attention he think they deserved so he’s taking it out on everyone else’s favourite.
My winner is… Elias ft Zero in on – Your Perfume…
The song is so cool
Generally, the winner should be… Celia – Letter To Myself. But reality will probably be different, and will win for example Arbresha – Same Stars, and null points for Switzerland in semi final in Vienna.
Weak Selection from the Swiss broadcasting (as usual), but I only liked “Run” by Bubble Featz ft. Sandra Wild. Those percussion will be cool on stage.

SRF/RTR
Arbresha – Same Stars
Tiziana – Only human
Timebelle – Singing About Love
RTS
Alenko – Vu d’en Haut
Célia – Letter to Myself
RSI
Elias ft. Zero in On – Your perfume
I’m hoping either Arbresha or Alenko wins Die Grosse Entscheidungsshow.
SFR/RTR:
– Timebelle
– Andy McSean
– Arbresha
(bonus: Tiziana)
RTS:
– Licia Chery
– Celia
RSI (ugh, toughest to choose):
– either The Vad Vuc or Deborah Bough
Arbresha – same stars
18 entires? This ought to be fun, as were the Malta ESC presentations in late-October. I’ll need half the night to listen and grade them.
Arbresha is the only one that matters here. I really hope she wins.
The only thing that matters to me is that Arbresha has advanced. I hope she wins the whole thing — what a fantastic song!
SRF
-TimeBelle “Singing About Love”
-Arbresha “Same Stars”
-Dahï “Destiny
RTS
I seriously can’t decide for two of them because I don’t really like any of them. In my opinion RTS has the weakest entries.
RSI
Elias feat. Zero In On “Your Perfume”
By the way I think this year we got quite good acts (if you look at previous years).
Oh thank GOD kitty Brucknell didn’t get a spot. She hasn’t even BEEN to Switzerland let alone getting to perform for them. Pleased they’ve gone down a more talented route.
SRF
Timebelle – “Singing About Love”
Thierry Condor – “Open Heart Surgery”
San Dii – “iMagination”
RTS
Anach Cuan “Hurdy Gurdy Girls”
Célia “Letter to Myself”
RSI
Elias ft. Zero In On “Your Perfume” (My winner <3)
@Day one: the distribution with 3 – 2 – 1 entries is because SRF represents some 65-70% of the population, while RTS and RSI only represent some 20-25% or 6-7%, respectively. Thus, RTS and RSI are already overrepresented. Also, their songs may seem stronger exactly because they had to narrow them down more than SRF had to.
SRF:
-Tiziana – “Only Human”
-Arbresha – “Same Stars”
-Timebelle – “Singing About Love”
RTS:
-Alenko “Vu D’En Haut”
-Celia “Letter To Myself”
RSI
-Deborah Bough – Take Me Back To 23
I think SRF Has the weakest entries and It isn’t fair they get to pick 3 since RSI AND RTS have better songs. Also I still think Kitty Bucknell – Yearning was better than 4 of SRF’s songs.
SRF:
-Arbresha with “Same Stars”
-Dahï with “Destiny”
-Tiziana with “Only Human”
RTS:
-Célia with “Letter to Myself”
-Mélanie René with “Time to Shine”
RSI:
-The Vad Vuc with “Cocktail e fantasmi”
1) Arbresha
2) Célia
3) Dahï
4) The Vad Vuc
5) Tizania
6) Mélanie René
