Czech Republic CZECH REPUBLIC 2016 - Gabriela Gunčíková - I Stand

[Ritararita]

And on Wiwibloggs she's leading the poll (best performance on May 3) at the moment with 25%

Surprisingly, even evil Wiwibloggs William (who previously ranked I Stand 2/10) seems to be finally converted, as he named it as the best performance today:

Who knows, maybe will not only advance to the final but will also end up in Top 3

 

[Terence]

^^We can only hope. Top 10 would be amazing! Kinda reminds me of Cyprus 2004... sort of... and that one made the top 5 on televoting alone!

 

[Dutchball]

After the rehearsals this keeps creeping up my top 10. It might even pass and become my #2

 

[Mii11]

^ Top 10 would be indeed nice. However, I believe Top 3 (or at least Top 5) is achievable! Eurovision is full of surprises (e.g. 2014)

Atm this even looks like a safer qualifier than

Let´s not be greedy. The Czech goal of primary importance still is to qualify and break the curse. xcrossed Without that, the speculations about possible final position are pointless.

 

[RainyWoods]

No, let's be greedy. Czech Republic for the win

Best rehearsal so far from all of what we've seen. It looks absolutely stunning and Gabriela's voice is beyond beautiful. I always thought this was the dark horse and now i'm even more certain. If Czech Republic doesn't make the final with this entry then it will be nothing short of a sin.

Got even more points than Russia in the press voting

Dear God... F* YEAH!

We should be optimistic. will qualify, I can promise you that

I am probably too Czech to be optimistic. But yes, after today, I can see the chances of qualifying as sliiightly less impossible, let´s say. It´s good to see all the support for Gabriela, mostly from nice people. And not only in this thread.

"I cross my fingers for Gábina. A beautiful woman, a beautiful song. Go for gold!"

"Amazing song, excellent Gabriela!!! Crossing my fingers so much!!! Final is granted!!!"

Besides Poland and Germany, which countries gave Czech Republic the highest televoting points last year?

Don't forget Russia didn't win yesterday, Armenia did (thankfully)

Still, so glad that the Czech Republic is finally being noticed! Hopefully they will not only qualify, but also do great in the final!

She's becoming my biggest grower of the season. The song could be better, but she has such a deep and great voice. Fingers crossed for this year, you absolutely deserve to celebrate the Grand Final this year!

 

[Evalngelion]

I've always liked her song, She is just W O N D E R F U L

 

[Matt]

She definitely had the strongest rehearsal by far. It certainly had the biggest reaction in the press center. Everything just looked and sounded right. At first, I was really discouraged by the fact that they were performing right after Russia but it's such a big contrast, it may work in their favor. I met with Gabriela afterwards and she is very charming and was pleased with her performance. Ultimately, her goal is to make it to the Finals so the country will get more invested so my fingers are crossed and she started climbing up in the Betting Odds.

This is leading the wiwibloggs poll for best rehearsal of tuesday. It has a lead of 269 votes (including mine ) over #2, Malta, a song that seems to be universally liked by all wiwibloggs-visitors.
