That fade shot of Martina to the pianist there was stunning. Almost brought a tear to my eye. I'm sorry I've joined you all here at this beautiful show tonight so late.

Glad you joined us

Seeing this makes me actually impressed that the people behind the czech entry has really overcome difficulties. It is obvious that CT as a whole don't care much about ESC, which is weird thinking that they been 6th and 11th recently. Other countries would have a lot of interest in it with those placement in the back, so having these challenges, trying to make their country more interested in the contest must be applauded IMO.

I think it has to do with the timing. The reason Eurovision's popularity in Estonia, for example, exploded in the 90s due to several top 10 places is largely because it was empowering for people to compete as equals with other countries, so soon after communism. Czech Republic started to see success much more recently, long after the rebuilding era, so they lack this factor and take Eurovision more like just another random international event, probably.

Quite a few people assume it to be another "Ein Kessel Buntes" or even a festival of a political song that used to be a thing here during the Communist times, so they just mock Eurovision. But things are slowly changing, luckily

I have a feeling I'm in that "cafe" right now, listening to Horny Barta and her sister singing and playing piano..priceless..

 

[lavieenrose]

I love Martina but "anyway here's Human" is only one step above "anyway here's Wonderwall."

 

[John1]

Martina Barta's song was awful but she seems to be a very kind-hearted person

 

[nofuxCZ]

haha, the host: "we have enough time, I wanna ask Martina one more question"

 

[tuorem]

Martina is about to hijack the NF and announce she's going to Rotterdam.

 

[NikolaiMoller]

How come she's horny?

 

[Daybreak]

By the way, Czech Republic had an entry among my ESC favorites as early as 2008 (Have Some Fun... well, at least the studio version) #hipster

The girl with Olga is Amelia, the dancer from Olga's clip (if that wasn't clear already).

 

[Mainshow]

Who's that? Is the winner getting some sparkling wine?

 

[LontraCanadensis]

Is Martina just not relevant enough to have her own new song? Cause what she sang was from Vidbir...in 2018 lol

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Olga is getting drunk now

 

[RainyWoods]

I see a lot of water outside that window. Is this NF being held on a boat? Please say yes to please me.

Olga bringing bottles! I can't! Where the appetizers at?
