This might be a bit off topic, but I just came across this mashup - Sergey Lazarev: They Scream vs. Gabriela Gunčíková: I Stand. It's brilliant and shocking at the same time to see these 2 songs in comparison !

Effective vocals, people are definitely liking it.

EDIT: Qualifying odds are starting to shorten!

Does not look that good to me but still they are more than a safe qualifier.

Am a bit disappointed. I loved the one live live version way back, but to tell from this snippet, it is rather underwhelming for me. I hope he will improve.

Alright! Sharing some intersting insights which I've managed to gather online:

First of all, the snippets which are available online *never* show the camera work (the choice of angles, effects applied on the screen etc). This is why it might seem slightly underwhelming. For the camera work, the design that is closest to the Czech staging is this performance by D'Sound (see the effect at 2:19) - https://youtu.be/RBXMmgXoHeg?t=139
The Czech camera work will show multiple rectangles (16:9 ratio) on the screen at the same time, with different "instagram" filters applied to each rectangle. Albert also transitions inbetween the rectangles - jumps ones and slides on the floor ones. Overall, it's more of an instagram stories vibe than an instagram feed style.

As pointed out already, the Czech Republic moved up in the betting odds and they are now on the 4th position in the Semi 1 qualifiers table.

As Barbora Mochowa's True Colors won the international vote in our NF, I think there could be quite a few fans of hers here.
Right now she is about to record a new single called "Wait for Life". To be able to produce it with a musical video, she is also trying to raise funds on Hithit, our local Czech version of Kickstarter. I believe some of the rewards could be of interest even to her international fans.

92% of the target has been achieved, yet there is about 15 hours left and 200€ still missing for the campaign, accessible on https://www.hithit.com/en/project/5958/barbora-mochowa-chysta-novy-videoklip (you can switch into English on the right hand top of the site). If you fancy some of the rewards or just feel like contributing something, anything, I am sure it will be very much appreciated. Thank you! :-)

(I am just a fan trying to help, not connected to Barbora in any other way than both of us being Czech.)

Another entry i strongly dislike and the staging does not look good to me but i think they are safe qualifiers mostly because of televoting.

I'm starting to feel they will be Top 3 with juries too, it's quite a safe entry in the middle of so much "extravaganza" :lol: ... I still can't see a clear jury favourite in this semi... but yeah, I strongly believe they are going to the final!

Personally, this song is close to my Top 10, I really like the energy they bring to the stage!

I won't be surprise to me if juries place them in top 5 in semifinal. Televoting will be top 5 for sure so they are in the final. In the final they won't go higher than 15th.
