EUROVISION 2018 – SWITZERLAND

We saw a newspaper wrote that 670 songs have been received by the jury for the Eurovision song contest in 2018. 670 songs is a very big number – the highest in the last 20 years. The jury will choose six songs for the TV-show where the actual Swiss entry for Lisbon will be selected. Lets hope that among these 670 songs are some real gems which could give Switzerland again a high position in Eurovision.
