Czech Republic CZECH REPUBLIC 2016 - Gabriela Gunčíková - I Stand

[Mii11]

Being in the UK means I cannot vote for the Czech Republic to qualify myself, however best of luck. Gabriela definitely deserves to.

Same
That sucks. I wish I could vote in semi 1. Many of my favorites (, , , , ) probably won't qualify and I won't even be able to to help them out.

Ditto :'-(

This is one of my favourite ballads this year. I really like it, and if they include some of the visual effects they use in the music video, she is through to the final!

I wonder if this country will be displayed as 'Czechia' in the contest this year following the changes?

According to a German ESC blog quoting Paul Jordan from EBU, they would stay "Czech Republic" for the 2016 contest.

Isn't "Czechia" an hypothetical name?

 

[Ritararita]

I don´t know if there is a special thread for it somewhere, but today was released historically first set of points from OGAE Czech Republic (they seem to ignore "Czechia" as well).

Francie
Island
Maďarsko
Španělsko
Bulharsko
Chorvatsko
Rusko
Itálie
Estonsko
Austrálie

Not sure if I'm allowed to publish it but here are the full rankings of OGAE Czechia - I think my votes are quite easy to find

Ugh, 3 1st places for Russia. Traitors. And so many last places for San Marino? Where is the famous Czech sense of dadaistic humour when it´s needed?

 

[PeterLPZ]

What a beautiful ballad and Gabriela is so sweet. I cross my fingers for the qualification for the final. Unfortunately I can´t vote in the 1st SF.

Oikotimes article:

MALTA – Acts from three participating countries in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest will join Ira Losco at the Aria Complex this weekend for the ‘Malta Eurovision Party’.

Gabriela Gunčíková, Hovi Star, and Sanja Vučić ZAA will all be in Malta to perform their entries for Stockholm as part of the event, to which doors open at 21:00 on Saturday evening. Free invitations can still be collected from all Maltco outlets, while VIP tickets are on sale.

The Malta Eurovision Party will also feature performances from Junior Eurovision winner Destiny Chukunyere, and last year’s representative Amber. On Friday, Ira, Gabriela, Hovi, and Sanja will also be guests on Xarabank, together with Samra from Azerbaijan.

Is Xarabank some tv show?

 

[JimmyJump]

Not one of my favourites but i really hope that czech republic will qualify. Just because they never did.

Gabriela is slowly, but continuously, climbing up in odds. http://www.oddschecker.com/tv/eurovision/winner
14th place now!!

 

[John1]

will qualify for sure...

 

[Johnn]

Low chance of qualifying tbh, it's got a strong semi final and is placed between two strong songs, it's also a very weak song and I don't see the juries increasing the low televoting score that much.

The strength of this song is to be placed between two songs which are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different from Gabriela's one. could qualify thanks to that draw.
Don't judge a book by its cover.

Lmao, only in your floppy dreams this song can be considered weaker than the horrible Cypriot song.

They will all be replaced anyway, as jury members can't be disclosed until the moment EBU publishes their names on the website of Eurovision.
