All day today I was thinking he would do the flip coz it's the final. That he would go all or nothing the very last moment without letting anyone know that he would do it. Does anybody know if he tried it during yersterday's and today's rehearsals?
Well done Czech Republic! Their best result so far!

Congrats to to your first ever top. 10 position 
I for one never really got the appeal of this, so here I must agree with the juries more than televoters. To me this will forever sound like a homemade Jason Derulo / Justin Timberlake affair and the performance was a bit cringe. But Mikolas is selling it well, and I think with a stronger entry he could have probably ended up better.
Still though, I hope this means that will try harder in the future.

This together with
is the biggest jury injustice this year... As you say, there is absolutely no good reason for ranking that high and that low... For me was miles above ! Both and could have won with a decent jury score

Well, the whole performance was very childish and amateur.:?
Sweden had an expensive, stylish and impressive stage peromance, simply more professional.
As so many times before the juires look at the whole package, and that is why Sweden was 2nd to juries.

I don't see anything wrong juries liked Swedish professional performance. I have musical education, too, and if I was in jury, I would voted for Benjamin, too. Conspiracy theories sucks. The performance was eye-catching and different than anything else, maybe juries really fell for it. They are not biased by hatred like general public is, just sayin'.

Ever since the Czech broadcaster announced a national final after many years of internally selecting confusing entries and flirting with withdrawing for a long time, I've been curious if CZ can debunk my "literally any country can do well" theory. They had a decently varied national selection, with that 80s sounding rock song and of course "Lie to Me" standing out the most in my ears. Having a clean, Melodifestivalen-level entry come out of a country that has struggled for a long time to find its sound was shocking to say the least. But I was excited for CZ. The injury during the rehearsals saddened me personally as someone with zero ties to CZ lol. But Mikolas and his team put their desire to make the people at home proud before anyone else.
The broadcaster, the delegation, and Mikolas and his family should be overjoyed about this result. It was well-deserved no doubt, and I hope this is a sign for things to come from the Czech Republic. The whole story is inspiring, from underdogs to dark horses to an injury set-back to a comeback story. Awesome job.

But if the public gave Sweden only 21 Points, that should actually mean something. And the juries are defintely not always unbiased. Thinking so is naive.

For me, it doesn't mean anything. You think as you like, and don't quote me, I don't have time for stupid and pointless argues.

If I remember correctly, in the post-show livestream last night, [MENTION=4371]Sean[/MENTION] said Czech Republic scored more points last night than they ever have in every other participation combined.
Any. Country. Can. Do. Well. Period.

Yup, any country can do well and any country can fail if they send a bad song with bad performance, after this year I think everyone has to understand that finally

Same. The whole chic-geek image just doesn't appeal to me much. The song is basically sing-talk and the performance is so over-the-place. I am just surprised how well-like this entry is. I got a feeling it's because it's done by Czech Republic as no one would have thought they will pull out this kind of songs. Had this song is being presented by Sweden, it would have been heavily criticized.

Yeah, I am basically talking about this from beginning, and I am 100% sure of it, but everyone is playing on card being deaf to our words.
Lie to Me is nowhere near masterpiece like fandom are treating it. They love it only because it comes from Czechia, that is it. If it was from Sweden, erveryone will call it Jason Derulo wannabe, Talk Dirty To Me rip-off, like they acused Mans of copying Guetta.
