Switzerland 2024: Nemo - The Code

[Kratz]

It does have a great hook

 

[GNL]

They've stolen everything from r Olly - even outdone him on the repulsive fashions

 

[OutSynk]

I used this to torture my neighbours the other day.

 

[OutSynk]

And now THIRD with the bookies!

But it turns out they may have been enjoying it.

 

[Penelope]

It's a pretty decent song all in all once you've got more used to it, but god - it really could have done with taking the Coco Chanel advice of taking one item/song element OFF before leaving the house.

 

[Lucille]

It’s giving GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD.

 

[Kratz]

Surely he isn’t going to wear THAT

 

[OutSynk]

I want to say it's horrible but I feel like it has potential if the singer was replaced ASAP.

Quite big GUMS

 

[GNL]

Mother is in danger

 

[Saltwater]

 

[Kratz]

I am sure there will be a gorgey makeover for Malmo

 

[D5K]

First live performance is out and the odds are shortening a lot:

 

[VoR]

Apparently it's now the favourite to win.

 

[Iguana]

Holy fuck, those vocals

 

[Soldi]

Apparently it's now the favourite to win.

Odds are still shortening but it’s still in fourth.

 

[D5K]

Odds are still shortening but it’s still in fourth.

It's now the favourite on Betfair Exchange but there'll probably be a bit of shifting around on various markets.

 

[Pingu]

Odds are still shortening but it’s still in fourth.

Not with the bookies who have updated since tonight’s performance.

 

[Apoca]

Great great vocalist but the song really tries to do one too many things. I'll enjoy it on the night and live for the sheer spectacle but I have not found myself seeking out the song at all.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Absolutely incredible

 

[Lucille]

Yes this is starting to FEEL LIKE A WINNER now.

 

[D5K]

I agree with @Apoca, they're an amazing performer live but the song feels like a lot to convey in three minutes.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

I cannot fucking stand this despite being the exact target market (non-binary and insufferable)

 

[D5K]

How do you break a code anyway? I’ve heard of breaking a mould, but I guess a song called “The Mould” might not have the same appeal.

Binary code innit

 

[D5K]

Binary code innit

Somewhere between the 0s and 1s… I only just got that

 

[Suomi]

I cannot fucking stand this

Same, and I am baffled that it’s favourite to win?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Fucking dreadful.

 

[Soldi]

I like it but I struggle to see how they’ll get more than about 100 points in the televote.

 

[Apoca]

I like it but I struggle to see how they’ll get more than about 100 points in the televote.

And I also don't quite buy it as a jury frontrunner? I guess people think they'll go for the vocal but it's quite a racket of a song underneath - this is hardly pristinely executed "jury-bait" like "Tout l'universe" that is going to get all five jurors on board.

 

[Kala]

There is no way this is winning.

 

[Jacques]

There's been too much negativity in the past few posts. This is my favourite of the year and I'd love if the bookies are right as my favourite hasn't won since Lena.

Maybe 3rd would be the best outcome all round though - would make some money with the each way bet I placed at the start, would avoid three years in a row of my favourite coming 2nd, and wouldn't need to bankrupt myself next May.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

NOT NEGATIVE ENOUGH

VILE SONG. WOULD BE THE WORST WINNER SINCE PORTUGAL.

 

[Kratz]

 

[Saltwater]

WORST WINNER SINCE PORTUGAL.

 

[VoR]

Nemo leaning into their slightly insufferable Gen Z influencer vibe by vlogging their attempt to hitchhike from Zurich to Malmö





I haven’t watched all of it, but given they’re due onstage for rehearsals in two hours I’m guessing they made it.

 

[Lucille]

And what if he’d been slaughtered on a quiet mountain road in the alps?

 

[Raining on Me]

I really hope this wins now

I appreciate it as a SONG as well as a vocal rollercoaster. I do think it may cause mass recoiling in horror from many however.

But really is it any more chaotic and kitchen-sink than Netta's Toy?

It not being as SHIT as Toy is NOT really a quality!

 

[Raining on Me]

It not being as SHIT as Toy is NOT really a quality!

My point being if that can win (the public vote too!) then maybe this has a chance.

Also even if I didn't mind it, there's no way you could describe Netta's vocals as anything other than QUITE HELLISH
