One of the worst entries ever. However, it was my daughter's favorite act that year. She was 5 and it's still one of her all time favorites. We come back here to play it often, and happily sing along, dance and pretend to wack ourselves in the mouth with microphones.
2004: The Swiss finish last in the Semi-Final, scoring 0 points. 2014: The Swiss finish in middle place in the Grand Final. 2024: The Swiss win it all. My response: _What the hell is going on, Switzerland?_ 😗
I'm Swiss and I'm so ashamed we did this to Eurovision. For your information, Piero Esteriore has retired from his music career (for the sake of all of us).
Definitely the best entry in the history of Eurovision. This honestly should be the national anthem of Eurovision and should be played in every Eurovision opening ceremony. Absolute masterpiece, would definitely win every edition of Eurovision.
The guy in the orange shirt actually had some kind of a career after this: he landed a big national hit in 2006 with a football song (called Bring en hei), when Switzerland qualified for the world cup for the first time in a while. EDIT: this is wrong, I thought the guy in the orange shirt was someone else (thanks xxx_xxx for correcting me). Piero himself once made the news for driving his mother's car into the office of a boulevard newspaper. I've never heard anything of the other three again.
@@xxxxxx-yx1ff who is it then? You made me feel uncertain, but I checked the people who participated in Music Star that year, and no one else fits the gender and the hair colour.
At least he got what he deserved, the last place with zero points I was looking for something good in this song and I think I found it... It only last 3 minutes -.-
The song is bad..... but not the worst Eurovision song ! i bet you never heard Austria 1959.... this is the worst Eurovision song ! Austria 1979 also worse than Switerland 2004, Germany 1961, Yugoslavia 1969, Finland 1981, Israel 2000 ect
@@MrMrjack18 none of the entries you mentioned is even close to be as bad as Switzerland 2004. Most of them were pretty okay actually, Finland 1981 is a perfectly fine song for example.
I believe that Eurovision has room for shitty/troll entries. Even when they're really shit, they at least provide entertainment value and are quirky enough to have a character. Yes, even Israel 2000. However, this so is so bad, it's just bad. They are the only entry in the history of the ESC that deserves the 0 points.
*Now Piero and his Esteriore Brothers are singing all around Europe and they have a huge amount of followers on their social media's. Piero is amazing singer i don't what he was thinking to achieve with this song.* 😅😅
Yea true Am I the only one that thinks that Azerbaijan 2011 sounds like a masterpiece when compared to Switzerland 2004?? Not because i'm Azerbaijani lol 🤣
The only thing that redeems this song even slightly in my opinion is the backup dancer in yellow. Shame he's the only tolerable thing about this performance.
I believe I actually voted for this in the national finals - in my defense, I was seven years old at the time (I'm actually not sure if my parents let me vote). They were all participants of a casting show called Music Star (hence the name), which basically was the Swiss version of X-Factor. It was the very first time that year that they made such a casting show in Switzerland, so the hype around it was quite big. But the musical level of this show can't have been very high: These people all made the top 10, and Piero came 3rd. I actually remember being really excited about this show, I recorded it on VCR (I wasn't allowed to stay up that late), and then watched it the following day. Apparently, I didn't have any ears at age seven.
@@irondasgr The winner of that show also participated in the national finals, and lost against this. But it wasn't much better: czcams.com/video/DrjNs9lb4WM/video.html
I think it's a true masterpiece... Comparing to Israel 2000 and Macedonia 2000. If you think "Celebrate!" is the worst performance in the history of ESC, then watch two that I mentioned ☺
This is the worst Eurovision entry of all time and the UK have had some terrible entries.. there was nothing to celebrate and Music stars was false advertising!!
Even in 2017, all these people on CZcams still continue to say nasty things about the Swiss entry from Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Istanbul. Why do people have to continue saying things that can be hurtful? :(
I agree. This song isn't the best and it scored low as a result. That's all you can say really. It's a shame as they look like they're trying to create an international friendly vibe and for that alone they deserve some credit.
But almost all of those, while of varying quality, were at least performed competently, and you could call them songs. This, on the other hand, is so random and sloppily put together. So little to work with, it implodes upon itself and Sergio struggles to keep himself enthused enough to keep on singing it. That's what I call terrible.

This won a national final. Let that sink in.
there mustn't have been much talent in early 2000s switzerland then
maybe the swiss picked it to get revenge for Europe for not voting for them from like the last 7 years
Look, it's a well written and catchy song with beautiful lyrics and a charismatic performer. What's not to like about it?
Who’s back here after Nemo’s victory?
Never imagine this entry was from the same country where both Gjon's and Nemo come from.
That reminds me of the songs we used to sing in the kindergarden, with a bit less enthusiasm though
The unenthusiasm from the audience is just the cherry on top 😂

That's actually not true. He's very successful even to this day and is now in a band with his brothers and sounds really good.

Yes! He is probably the oldest and they have a website now where they do private functions and small gigs.
