It sounds so James Bond! I'm really excited for it.

And I hope it gets a lot of hype (if it ends up as good as it seems). Czechia always gets screwed over with the GF running order, I hope they don't dare to do that to Adonxs.

Wow this sounds even more like winner material!

Seems like it will be released on March 7th! My birthday!

Everything looks and sounds very high quality. Adonxs could be Mans nightmare.

This! The year is so bad and loaded with underwhelming songs (to say the least) that I feel like has the chance to do very well. His voice is very, very good and the song catch and jury friendly at the same time



I’m so tired of hearing this. I really don’t know what is going on with people saying this. Those songs are totally different! And did Duncan invent piano songs?

Yeah, but Czechia tends to end up with worse results at Eurovision then people expect from them.

Yeah, but Czechia tends to end up with worse results at Eurovision then people expect from them.

Well yes and no. is a small country with no natural Eurovision allies, just like for example. So they always have a disadvantage… But looking at the best song they had in the competition until now, Lie To Me, that song actually did very well in the televoting! So everything is possible with a really good song… (The surprise for me back then was the poor jury result, which was undeserved in my opinion.)

Which songs apparently underperformed so hard?

Aiko NQing was expected. She was closer to Qing than many thought.
Vesna still made top 10, and people expected worse at the end because the girls struggled so hard with their live vocals in pre-shows. They actually came 4th in s very strong semi too. (And were unlucky having to go after Käärijä in the final...).
We are Domi were mostly screwed having to open IMO.

For a small country with no voting allies, I think they're doing fine?

And ofc Mikolas

 

[Sammy]

That's really promising.

Maybe not underperformed ''very hard'' but I thought that for instance Vesna & We Are Domi were going to do at least a tad bit better in the final. In the case Vesna the song though was very challenging to perform live and it was basically guaranteed it would sound really different from the studio (still was good I thought and the staging was nice) and in the case of We Are Domi the running order was not really helping matters but I was happy that they qualified. Czechia was 4th in the SF in 2022 but 22nd in the GF which is unusual I think.

I agree both acts deserved better, but I really think it's a combination of no voting allies + awful running order. Both could be avoided with a great song with enough hype before IMO.

Looking at the RO for Czechia in the GF, we have:

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 14th and 14th.

And 14th is the earliest you can get if you draw second half. That's why I said earlier I hope "Kiss Kiss Goodbye" gets enough hype before so the show runners do not dare to screw Czechia over AGAIN.

I think we need to have the random running order back actually even if might make for an ''unbalanced show''.

The studio version leaked. Not sure if I can post it here, so I won't - but you can easily find it on Twitter if you search for ADONXS .)

What to say, I prefer the acoustic version - thought it might be this way, our main strength this year is in ADONXS himself, his charisma and voice.
The dance break in the song is completely out of place, disturbing and killing the vibe of the whole song. We'll have to pray they have some staging concept that will make it work, because it is not working now.

 

[DirtyFalcon]

The acoustic version was absolutely excellent with winner vibes but they completely ruined it with that official version. What a disappointment ... Fortunately Adonxs is a charismatic performer with a great voice but i'm not sure this will be enough to carry it to the potential it had in acoustic. The dancebreak is completely unnecessary and out of place. Could still be top 10 thought but will need excellent staging

 

[njdevils94]

Who the heck thought it was a good idea to add a dance break in this???

 

[lavieenrose]

Well, I guess score one for "save for the monumentally inspired or monumentally stupid there is no such thing as a savvy or unsavvy way to roll out your entry and whatever people think of your actual entry on its own will eventually catch up with it."

Am I a bad person for liking it more now? The sudden tempo change is buckfuckingwild but I'm kind of into it. xshifty

 

[tsegaye]

Is it as misplaced as the dance break in Future Lover by Brunette? If so I can see myself liking it tbh...

 

[aef]

WHAT THE ACTUAL F ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?? What is that dancebreak doing there??? Like I‘m almost crying, it ruins the whole song.

All in all I also like the studio version and the instrumentation, the accoustic version was so perfect though, I loved it. But well, everything is ruined by that dance break. Without it it would still have huge top 5 vibes.

 

[Cathan]

The bookies are telling me Im supposed to love it….therefore I LOVE IT!!!!

 

[Jupiter]

Adonxs released the song so late so it would make no sense for Fans to petition to remove the dance break huh

I still really like it overall, but they will really need to make that dance break work via staging. And somehow, his vocals Sound less good in the Studio Version than in the live Version at MESC? Though that at least will be amended by the live Performance again I guess.
