Raul: Okay, Switzerland, I don’t know why we went for ballads, you would have been better off with other types of songs. I’m not a fan of ballads (it’s sooooo hard for me to catch one) but this is neither the best nor the worst, it’s okay. What can I say though is that this will have an impact in Basel, the jury will probably put the song in the top 10, but the televoting will be somewhere around 15, so probably in the top 10 or somewhere around there. My rating will be an 8 just because I’m not a fan of this type of ballad, not because it would be bad for those who love this genre. I see a moment with flashes from phones, I see an intimate moment like Salvador Sobral.
Grade: 8/10

Reza: “Voyage” is a delicate, sensitive, and vulnerable song that creates a truly emotional and beautiful moment. I’m glad we have this kind of entry in this year’s line-up. It grabbed me from the very first listen and is definitely one of the songs I truly enjoy from this year’s Eurovision. I really hope the juries will appreciate and reward it, and that it won’t share the same fate as Portugal’s entry in 2018.
Grade: 9/10

Laurentiu: “Voyage” by Zoë Më is a gentle French-language ballad that, while pleasant, lacks the distinctiveness to stand out in a competitive field. The song’s soft melodies and introspective lyrics create a soothing atmosphere, but it doesn’t offer a memorable hook or dynamic progression to captivate the audience. As the host country, Switzerland automatically qualifies for the Grand Final, but without a compelling stage presentation, “Voyage” may struggle to leave a lasting impression.
Grade: 5/10

Stefania: I don’t know why, but this song feels like someone bottled up a piece of my childhood and turned it into a musical road trip. Switzerland, you didn’t just send a song, you sent pure, wholesome nostalgia on a voyage straight to my heart. 9/10 because I’m still emotionally packing.
Grade: 9/10

Florin: It is not what I was expecting from Switzerland, but I really enjoy the song, especially the last part. It didn’t catch my attention at first, but now I can say I listen to it on a regular basis.
Grade: 8/10

Antonio: I was expecting something lighter from Switzerland this year after their win last year, and honestly, they exceeded my expectations! Zoë is a phenomenal vocalist, and “Voyage” truly takes you on a journey. It’s melodic and full of suspense, with a stunning instrumental backing that keeps you hooked. This could easily become a favorite with both the jury and the televote.
Grade: 8/10
