Cheap excuse

For the fourth time, a man? That wasn’t the only thing that came to my mind when I heard who SRF would send to Eurovision this year. I counted on a woman – as a logical step. But SRF sends Remo forrer (21) to Liverpool.

Nothing against him. forrer hats, with the right song he can do well at Eurovision. However, it is weak that those responsible for the selection hide behind a two-jury market research process – a cheap excuse. After all, balanced representation is about all of us. Switzerland is represented here.

Artists should not be underrepresented at festivals or Eurovision.

Sophie Hanger (39) called for a boycott of last year’s music festival, which was aimed at clean male composition Saturday. Also in other plein airs, the underrepresentation of women could not be discounted. It’s unworthy that ESC has been relying only on male artists for years.

Switzerland owes a lot to women ESC: Lys Asia (1924–2018) was the first person to win the competition in 1956. Celine Dion (54) brought victory to Switzerland in 1988. Annie Cotton (47 years old, third place in 1993) and Daniela Simons (61 years old, second place in 1986) also achieved notable results. It is high time for women to once again have a chance to build on the success of their predecessors.
