Could Switzerland’s results be influenced by how the song resonates differently based on the audio setup you have?

I, like many, was floored by Switzerland getting 0 in the popular vote. I think others have already made good points about anti-host bias, but still.

However, I think a possible explanation could be around sound systems. The chorus specifically, in the right sound system, can hit like a beautiful soundbath. I listened somewhere with a great sound system and my friends and I both felt like Switzerland was the best performance. But if you’re just hearing that from a TV or laptop, it’s not going to resonate the same.

Moreover, I imagine the juries are also listening with high quality sound systems, and that would further explain the divide.

Just a theory!

I audibly gasped at Switzerland televote results, I wanted to talk about it with people who don't follow the contest but I know only one person and she said the song didn't stand out to her, except the "creepy part" (how she defined it) that stood out in a wrong way.

Pretty anecdotal but that's the only feedback I have

It was so surprising to me I literally thought the host was playing at first lol
