Thanks to John-John and the lovely Henry, Eurovision frenzy has started early this year! Not only has the warm-up for Sweden's Melodiefestivalen already begun, but Switzerland opened its prospective selection for 2012 to all comers, and received 221 songs to select from.
And what an eclectic lot crept out of the woodwork to try and represent the land of chocolate and cuckoo clocks!
Not only X-Factor losers Same Difference (described by Simon Cowell as "potentially two of the most annoying people I've ever met"), but apparently Ultra Nate and a Motorhead tribute band called No Mercy also gave it a go. Through to the shortlist however is the contest's first ever winner, the 87-year-old Lys Assia...
Perfect music for a Sunday, I'd say:
Here is the lovely lady singing the winning entry from that very first contest 55 years ago - Refrain:
I am getting excited already!
