The much debated Salvation Army band Takasa didn't make it to the final in 2013. Neither did Sinplus in 2012, but they seem to have a bit of a career going right now.
Anna Rossinelli was the last one to reach the final, but she only ended 25th. She scored a #3 hit in her home country.
2010 and 2009 didn't bring much luck to the Swiss: Michael von der Heide and Lovebugs stranded in their semi's.
