So Baschi was at the hotel where I worked this Sunday! At the time I didnt know who he was...but the whole hotel was bustling with the news. OMG Baschi IS HERE!!! So anyways someone pointed him out to me and told me that he is like the equivilant of an American Idol star in the states...so yea just thought I'd share the moment. I saw Baschi!! haha now i can die happy

Who the heck is Baschi?

number 24. a contestant from some sort of swiss version of american idol like I mentioned early. I think he's quite famous here correct me if I'm wrong.

He's world famous in Switzerland

Well, it depends which Baschi you mean. The Baschi I know is an old hand in the Swiss pop scence and plays in Bashi and the Beautiful, a pretty good glam-pop/rock combo. He looks a bit like a younger version of Keith Richards and Mick Jagger in one..I like him.

There seems to be an upstart that goes by the same name, whom I don't know. Some young pretty boy, who looks kind of like that Gyllenhall fella.

The bottom line is: Did you see a guy who looks like a coke head or a gay cowboy?

Some good has come from this thread. I learnt that "Baschi" is Swiss German short for Sebastian.

Swiss "star" = small fish in a tiny pond

SF1 had a two part "series" on him last month. In the first part, he took his Icelandic girlfriend to Iceland, and met her family. He even ate "svið" (sheeps head). The guy is pretty cool, and his music is not bad either, and yes, he is a "pop star" celebrety.

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't consider him as being a star/celebrity. There are just too many people (even Swiss) that do not know him. And anyway, usually Swiss singers don't really go a long way. Especially the ones that were casted by a poorly forged show like 'Music Star' is.

lol He knows me but I don't know him!

He used to work (or still does) in Roxy Records, Basel & said hello to me once a few years ago when I was in there. I didn't have a clue who he was though he spoke English to me.

To be honest the difference between a 'music star' or a pop star (one that made it on their own) is virtually nothing here in terms of quality. Both are like all Swiss music except traditional, absolutely awful!

He did the unofficial swiss song for the World Cup, and he is now re-recording it for the official Swiss European Cup song.

Baschi - "Bring en Hei"

The song is excellent, and is probably the best footie song since 3 lions.


He also caused a massive scandal by singing a sacrilegious song called "Wenn Gott das Wüsst".... essentially "If God knew about...". It was all over the papers a few months ago. He has since apologised for the song, but not before he made a small fortune from the resulting hype.

Baschi here is his "famous" song. You guys need to integrate bit more if you don't even know who Baschi is Personally I can't stand his name, him or his music!

Like 3 lions it's a crap song All these "coming home" and "Bring en Hei" type of songs are sung by countries that know that the cup ain't ever coming home

Some more shit ones to go with it-

New Order - World in Motion
Black Grape - England's Irie
Collapsed Lung - Eat My Goal
England United - How Does It Feel?
Fat Les - Vindaloo
Fat Les 2002 - Jerusalem
Ant and Dec - On The Ball

You don't have to write the above to prove you're an idiot, you could just keep it to yourself.

Someone takes their football and nationalistic crap too seriously I see You are entitled to your opinion that it's an excellent song so why am I not entitled to my opinion that it's a crap song?

I may be wrong, but I distinctly remember having covered this with my previous comment below.

going along with the footy song theme, the best has to be "England 5, Germany 1" by The Business

Am I entitled to my opinion too, if so: it's a crap song, by a crap singer for an even crappier football team!

This

is his "famous" song. It's great.

Yeah, along with the rest Swiss "superstar" DJs.

The only one I could say is worthy the title is Deetron but yet he's so low-key.

Did anyone mention world famous Dj Bobo?
