Czech Republic CZECH REPUBLIC 2016 - Gabriela Gunčíková - I Stand

[NikkiBoy]

For now I'll give it 7 points. It's a beautiful song, but not very rememberable.
Hopefully it will grow on my top later on!

Well do you see any runaway winner this year?? Last year many people wanted a close race but in the end it was clear that Sweden would win. We also had a clear favourite in 2014, 2013 and 2012. But this year?

There's no runaway winner, but there are a couple of songs that are clearly ahead of the others in regards of their chances of winning eg. Iceland, Russia etc. In 2014 there also wasn't any runaway winner before ESC started - the favourites became obvious only after the rehearsals and semifinal shows.

Every year we say the same thing.

No we don't.

2009: Rybak is going to win.
2010: Lena is going to win.
2012: Loreen is going to win.
2013: Emmelie is going to win.
2014: (Very late but either way) Conchita is going to win.
2015: Måns is going to win (predicted many of us).


So I would say this is a really unpredictable year, because I wouldn't say that about anyone at the moment.

We'll have to wait Mr. Bjorkman's decision first.

Sorry, I forgot IMO

I love love LOVE this, for the second year in a row will be one of my favourites
This MUST qualify...

Yes, she can sing excellent live and has 2 years experience with singing in Trans Siberian Orchestra. She is a member of this band, which is popular overseas. Especially in the USA, where is held Winter Christmas TSO tour every year. She sang with them in 2014 and 2015. She also became a lead vocal singer in Mat Siner Band and she will perform in Germany, Austria and Switzerland during the end of March and the whole April 2016. So she is amazing and I hope, juries and televoters give her many points.

 

[Jukica]

Pretty nice entry if she'll have a good performance, I wouldn't be suprised for the qualification

 

[VikingTiger]

I am still a bit confused by this song. And I cant make up my mind. There are things about this that I really really like. But I still feel something is missing.
Even so I really hope this will qualify - even though I think we will have to trust the juries to help Gabriela. I am afraid the song is not very memorable after hearing it just once.

I just listened to it once, and I fastly remembered it afterwards. :-/

Your memory must be much better than mine. I have heard the song 5-6 times - still cant hum a single part of it... Even so I do like it.

12 points from me. It's simply stunning. Just listen to it a few times and open yourselves to it! She has a brilliant voice and though it's rather a pop ballad I always feel the mystery, the folklore spirit. It goes straight to your bones. It's the second time in a row the Czech Repulic amazes me with such a great song. I hope it will make it to the final.

This song is growing so hard on me
Maybe it'll be in my Top 3 at ESC. Hopefully it will qualify

I fear it won't despite the fact that this song has an ENORMOUS potential to do so.

 

[Ritararita]

At first, I wasn´t sure about my opinion (probably because I was expecting something more rock-ish from Gabriela Gun), but now I think I am slowly but surely falling in love with it and ready to fully support it.

Oh, and watch this fan-made music video which somebody edited from Anna Karenina. Beautiful, isn´t it?

 

[hijirio]

I have a feeling that, let alone qualifying, this one will go far, it might even become a minorrr hit around Europe
Thank you Ceska Republika, for introducing this awesome singer to me. I have no bit of doubt about her qualification.
