Rykka - The Last of Our Kind

It is nice that Switzerland gives all people the opportunity to represent them. What a terrible speech impediment Rykka has there “not afwaid to be bwave”. OMG she is like the grand-daughter of Elmer Fudd! “This is pawadise!” to her but it won’t win.

The W instead of R could just be an attempt to sound cute, but she is 30, she should be beyond that. A cute sound is better than how she sounded in the national final though. I never can understand why people vote for people who can’t sing to represent them in a live singing competition. Don’t you people want to win!

A Canadian representing Switzerland has been successful once, but the bookies don’t think it will be successful again. If she nails this song it is pretty good, but I don’t think she will sadly. Prepare for the car crash.

Rykka’s real name is Christina Maria Rieder, so from Christina and Christa from 1959
