Esther Hart (Netherlands 2012), Birgitta Haukdahl (Iceland 2003) and
the Mother of the Eurovision Song Contest - the very first Winner LYS ASSIA who back in 1956 won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Refrain". Lys attempted to obtain the ticket to the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with a Ralph Siegel composition called "C'etait ma vie" which came 8th in the Swiss National Final 2012, though SINPLUS won with the song "Unbreakable"
and represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in
Baku. Lys Assia represented Switzerland three times in the 50s: "Refrain" in 1956 which was the winning song of the very first Eurovision Song Contest, then she returned the year after with the song "L'enfant que j'etait" wich came 8th and then in 1958 she ranked Switzerland 2nd with "Giorgio".
Now she wants to try again to represent Switzerland at the Eurovision
Song Contest 2013 with a very modern composition called "All in your head" performed by Lys Assia feat New Jack.
