Pictures from Marta´s facebook. According to Václav´s facebook, they flew to Innsbruck (so-called "capital of the Alps") to shoot their postcard.
They're so effin cute, i'd be devastated to see them not passing to final.
I think most want the Czech Republic to qualify, just because it's the Czech Republic and they've such an terrible ESC history.

Also they really made a good effort this year.But it's their mistake
I do agree they have made a good effort, but like i said I also think that people are just like "bless, look at them trying. Shall we let them qualify?"
I think Marta and Vaclav might benefit from having the closest song to rock in the second semi-final. This should cater to the rock vote which could give it a huge points boost

...as if we were some three-legged dog or something. I probably should stop reading this thread. Comments like this make me too depressed to believe that "hope never dies".

escgold.com:
"A tasteful rock ballad with a liberal sprinkling of musical theatre and just a hint of eastern mysticism, this is a song that feels tailor made for the contest. Marta Jandová and Václav Noid Barta are both singers with international pedigree, and their powerful, rock-tinged vocals complement each other well. Crucially, they should both be comfortable performing at a large-scale live event without coming painfully unstuck. In short, everything about this entry feels carefully studied and delivered with total professionalism."
In predictions of our chances to qualify, the author is not so optimistic, but it´s really refreshing to see some positive words after all that negativism.

This song improves as it goes on but it won't be enough to qualify. Somehow I do t think we'll see them in 2016. 1 point.

Let's hope the "ceremony" won't be such a fiasco like last year :'D (it looked like a show from the 80s and was watched only by some 200k people)

And now I see it will be hosted in Divadlo Karlín (like last year) and will be aired on ČT2, soooo

Yes, they will be broadcasting it on their secondary channel and Karel Gott is not mentioned among the guests, so it probably will not be the most watched show of that day. But Leoš Mareš will be the host, so maybe it gets some attention. Like last year thanks to his Conchita Wurst outfit:

Václav Noid Bárta interviewed in 2011 "Jan Kraus Show" with hidden English subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YHKn_guco8. Can the video be seen in another countries, or is it blocked?

Lol Květa undressing Václav
Yes. I was originally planning to translate more videos, but there are some obstacles I didn´t expect. Especially the impossibility of downloading videos from ČT´s web. I tried at least five different ways how to do it, but none of them was working.
I found out additionally that Václav was also a guest of "Sama doma" (daily show for housewives) the day the song was released, so there actually is interview with him about Eurovision. But I have no idea how to get it. So, for Czech (and possibly Polish?) users which can understand it and are interested, the video is here.

Continuing with my cunning (or maybe just naive) plan to increase our duo´s chances for quaification by letting everybody know how charming people Václav and Marta are, I translated another interview with Václav. This one is more recent (January 2015, just about two weeks before he was revealed as the ESC representative) and Václav is much more relaxed and funny in it than he was in the previous one.
