ZiBBZ to EZC 2018 for ZwitZerLand!
ZiBBZ to EZC 2018 for ZwitZerLand!
OK, so we may have taken a few liberties with the spelling in our headline. But it’s true that Switzerland will be represented at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest by the duo ZiBBZ.
The siblings (ZiBBlingZ… get it?), originally from Zurich but now based in Los Angeles, won a comfortable victory in tonight’s Swiss Entscheidungsshow selection. Their song “Stones”, which follows in the footsteps of the recently chosen French entry by delivering a socially critical message in its lyrics, was announced as the narrow favourite of the international jury before winning the televote by some considerable distance in the face of some admirable attempts by the hosts to keep things exciting.
“Stones” will be performed in the second half of the first semi-final at ESC 2018, where ZiBBZ will seek to improve the alpine nation’s fairly dismal qualifying record this decade. See what you think of their chances – here’s the video:

Dear #Eurovision internet, you will be SHOCKED to learn that our #DestinationEurovision favorite tonight was Seemone, with an average score of 7.63 out of 10.
She pretty much destroyed all opposition. But can she destroy Bilal in the final? 🤔
Our chat's main takeaway from #ADal2019 so far is that Freddie is wearing too many clothes. Also there have been songs.
