EUROVISION 2018 PREVIEW

15.

SWITZERLAND

BONES

Zibbs

Switzerland hosted and won the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. Winning performer Lys Assia passed away in March. This year, the Swiss entry is "Bones". Performed in English, the song was co-written by the duo.

While a worthy song, it will struggle to qualify in Semi Final 1. It is unlikely to give the country its first win at Eurovision since Celine Dion gave Switzerland its 2nd victory in 1988.
