Czech Republic CZECH REPUBLIC 2020 - Benny Cristo - Kemama

i mean we also don't know the list of juries yet so jury overall tastes aren't easy to predict.

To note the 2019 juries are cesar, rassmusen, elina nechayeva, ira losco, AWS, Alma, Ari, JOWST, ZiBBZ, and Ryan -- which were pretty diverse in taste. With a jury lineup as diverse as this, kemama might have a chance of placing at least top 3 in juries.

Hmmmm I like what you wrote, but uncertainty will kill me...

WAP (without skipping a beat): "We have a super strong hidden fanbase!"

Theoretically, WAP really could have hidden fanbase. They need to persuade Milan Peroutka, frontman of their other band, to publicly support them and perhaps ask for the same some other influencers he is friends with (like Shopaholic Nicol or Kovy, for example). Considering his popularity (let's not forget that aside from Perutě, he is also soap-opera and musical actor, host of several TV shows and almost-winner of Your Face Sounds Familiar), it could potentially start a chain-reaction among influencers leading to WAP ending in TOP3 of Czech televote with Ben and Olga. Or not. But they really should try it, despite the completely different genres of Perutě and WAP.

A few points from the livestream with WAP:

• Should they qualify, the staging would probably remain similar to the music video - chains, people in fake animal skin, fake blood, you name it
• "Competing in this NF feels like comparing a great pizza to a great cake. We don't care who wins, we are just happy that our country shows as amazing all round musical qualities as it does this year"
• They oficially challenged Benny to a jiu-jitsu duel - all four against him (apparently they know each other and they've already trained together before)
• Their favourite Eurovision act is Verka Serduchka (though they don't trully follow Eurovision as closely and "mainly try to concentrate on their own thing")
• They are the only ones in the lineup who shot the music video all by themselves (so they already have some experience with producing fake blood under their belts)
• They don't see their future as a necessarily "vegan" band or even a "protest" band. They'd just like to keep writing songs with meaningful lyrics about all types of topics, be it love or current issues of the society. "We don't intend to write songs about poop."

They are oficially Hatari on steroids in my books now (or quite probably on some other drugs, which is my only potential issue).

Could the "hidden fanbase" be a cryptic message, just like the OMV? Well spotted. If they can do that, they absolutely should!

Well, yeah But it's not entirely hopeless, just a little concerning. There's still plenty of time to "polish" it. I can feel their own vibe, which I find the most important at the moment.

I endorse Karell. I love the song. His voice is so tender like fingertips running down my spine. It is worth every tear that fills my eyes, because this song is relatable ...

Waiting for @eurovision and Benny to reply to me to see if they can help me change my vote

Bravo @Romeo

I actually ended up voting for Wanna Be Like. There isn't anything I'm super impressed by among the other songs and like I said, I appreciate that they didn't go half-assed on the reggaeton thing. It hits a decent balance between something niche and having mass appeal.

ESCBubble interviews with Barbora Mochowa and Olga Lounová.

@Romeo From Instagram post of ESCZ:

"-IMPORTANT INFO-
Some of you have reached us since when you entered the app to vote your vote was casted already.
No worries! We have reached our voting partner DIGAME. And here you have the solution and reason in the following statement provided:

The „fake vote“ does not count. The heart is only displayed from last years voting, as it is still in the app cache. After the reinstall the cache is cleared and the user can vote. Therefore only the “real vote” after the reinstall is counted.

Thank you all for the concern and for voting! Let’s make your vote count!"

Olga is so nice! I don't know why I thought she'd be all haughty diva or something.

And my baby still struggling to express her thoughts She's so precious, I can't.

I'm still unsure about who I should vote for. When will the voting phase end?

 

[nofuxCZ]

When will the voting phase end?

2nd Feb, I think 20:00?
Results the following day
