Note - Switzerland withdrew the winner of its pre-selection, 'Soleil, soleil' by Géraldine Olivier due to the fact that this song had been submitted to the German-speaking as well as the French-speaking branch of Swiss television - an infringement of the country's Eurovision regulations. As a result, Switzerland was represented by the runner-up of its selection, 'Mister Music Man'. The disqualified song is given as a withdrawn entry at the bottom of the results' list below.
