The countdown to Eurovision 2026 is steadily ticking away, and there are plenty of promising acts that could take home the prize. Finland may be leading the betting odds, but distinctive entries like Denmark’s Søren Torpegaard Lund – an award-winning Danish artist – are already making waves.
All in all, there’s a strong selection to choose from, and we may have found our favourite. Representing Switzerland, alt-pop artist Veronica Fusaro might seem like a less obvious contender, but she’s brimming with potential.
With a waltz-rock-meets-alt-pop track whose strength lies in its message, we have a feeling this entry could spark widespread conversation at this year’s contest in Vienna, and perhaps even soar to the top of the leaderboard.
“Alice” feels like exactly the kind of song you’d want heading into a global competition. Championing female empowerment while shedding light on the ongoing issue of emotional abuse, it tackles a subject rarely explored on this stage – adding a sharp lyrical edge to what already shimmers as a dark, mainstream hit.
Unfolding the story of a woman whose boundaries are pushed beyond the point of no return, the track builds into a powerful, rocky crescendo that could ignite the stage with intensity and emotion, while still resonating through its more delicate opening. Fusaro delivers the performance with both strength and nuance – a skill that has already seen her grace stages around the world and establish herself as a prominent voice in Swiss music.
So whether you’re unsure what to expect from this year’s competition, already have a favourite, or don’t usually follow Eurovision, it’s worth tuning into “Alice,” a striking anthem that could propel Fusaro to great heights.
Veronica Fusaro will perform in Eurovision’s semi-final, Vienna on 16th May.
