Czech Republic CZECH REPUBLIC 2018 - Mikolas Josef - Lie to Me

[Krishoes]

When you have an injured performer, who can't move or hide the pain and you're still far better than everyone else before you

Czech entry is gonna be broadcast in a wide-screen resolution, with black strips on the top and bottom of the screen! It sounds like a detail but it might give a way better impression to the viewers x12s

(..and you can actually see that the size of the video in the official rehearsal footage is different from all other countries.)

I feel so sorry for him. He clearly can‘t perform the way he wishes and it must be really frustrating! I wish him all the best! Life just isn‘t fair!

Here's what we thought of Mikolas' second run through today, have a look!

I somehow started loving this staging! They did a really good job! I think this could really be in the top 5 or even higher!

I definitely think camera tricks can be used to hide the fact that he’s just standing for most or part of the song. In the second rehearsal clip (from today) the camera panned up to his shoulders, and it looked as if he was dancing. They could experiment with camera movements around him as seen in the Ukraine NF (but to a lesser extent) and pan out to his legs/full body whenever he does a small shuffle or the backpack kid/flossing dance.

I really enjoy his energy and passion for doing his country proud. His music and style is fresh and a nice edition to the Eurovision catalogue and to the reputation of the contest as a whole.

Don’t give up hope, CZ friends! This one might do really well despite the set backs.

I wouldn't dismiss the idea of giving him two more days to recover and let him perform in the second semi. Of course two days is not much, but still.
Besides - it would make the quality of both semis a bit more even and enhance chances of good songs, that could fail to qualify in semi 1

He explained it here, 2 days won't make a difference, approved by neurosurgeons.

Yes he said him and his team spoke about it in an interview with wiwibloggs but he said 2 days wouldn't make much difference, I do agree with you though.

What happened to [MENTION=14197]Ritararita[/MENTION]?

 

[nofuxCZ]

I saw some people confused about the female dancer so just to clarify - during the performance there will be 2 male dancers as in the first rehearsal - one of them had to fly back to Czechia to take high school final exam, but he will be back for the Eurovision. The female dancer during today's rehearsal was actually the choreographer.

 

[Milos-BC]

This is definitely one of my favorite songs this year and it's easily the best song to date I can see it doing very well, maybe even becoming a "Hey mama" of this year. I will certainly vote for him in the final.

8 points.

 

[Fierro]

I wasn't into this song but after rehearsal I feel like I'm ready to vote for him in the final

A mirror & the story of Lie To Me
See this video to understand

And the video I mentioned above from today's dress rehearsal

He's looking a lot better now, he's not as stiff anymore good to see.

Concerned about how quiet this thread is, I'm so nervous for Mikolas I hope he makes it tonight.

Pretty much all treads are quiet here, only Cyprus and Israel are not, now. I think Mikolas will do well, people who will hear the song for the first time will like it like we do.
