screaming this was easily one of the highlights of the NF, only losing to the iconique wanna be like. rightfully the top 2 of the selection

blandolga flopping hard love you czechia

This is a clear non-qualifier. Not a competitive song. In fact is was probably the least competitive song in the line-up.

What on earth.

It would stand out so hard into the sea of mediocrity that will be the second semifinal.

I pretty much agree with this

This sounds like something Mohombi would send to MF just to get some media attention and not expecting to win.

Arilena Ara is still leading my list. Latvia, i'm counting on you.

Very happy with this one, should easily make the final!

Meanwhile this is the first ever Czech entry i like. I guess it's an

You can be sure the staging will be amazing, Ben is very ambitious and hard working, more than Mikolas. He will bring fire.
Not to mention this is great for Eurovision in CZ. Ben is one of the most popular singers in the country, it will bring lots of people to ESC.

Yeah this could really be a hit or miss when it comes to the live performance in Rotterdam. The lyrics of the song is actually pretty touching as well, telling his mother now to worry about him (got a feeling that it is about racism, but maybe you czechs know better of the background of the song), so if they manage to bring a message on stage, still in a fun and energetic way, then it could work to at least qualify to yet an another final for Czech Republic.

I'm utterly disappointed because - in my opinion - the Czech preselection was amazing but they chose the worst song.
However, it's not a bad entry: It's memorable, catchy, modern and it will probably sound different to any other entries this year. Also, I think that these hipster-ish and trend-chasing entries help Czech Republic to become more popular in the Eurovision universe and juries and televoters will like it alike. If performed well, I can totally see this qualify and even reach Top 15.

Unfortunatelly not Elis Mraz winning here, but the winner could´ve been worse, so far my #1 of this year´s Eurovision (not so difficult though)

Zala & Gašper giving 12 to Pam. I respect that.

 

[JSSArcos]

disappointed this should take 4 points from me (I have to review the song) thanks for this excellent NF Czech Republic Karelll and Borbora will be the best songs of this season (TOP 20 at least ) anyway

So Benny won, I'm happy he did since he will possibly bring many Czech people to ESC due to his big popularity.

I believe you when you say he is a good performer and brings many energy to the stage. But the song is far from being musically great Imo, maybe a revamp would help this. Don't trust this jury, you see how random the votes were.

So, decent song at the end won. But Czech Republic had better options. I like his voice but I'm afraid it's not enough. I think it may be a borderline qualifier at this stage.

I'm giving the song 6 points. But that can change, I need a few more listens

Zala & Gašper giving 12 to Pam. I respect that.

King and Queen of taste, tbh.

 

[Edweis]

Well, can't say I'm not disappointed as I was pretty indifferent to this entry and liked a lot 3 others but well, it could have been worse. I hope it will grow on me, for now I can't give more than 4

 

[RainyWoods]

I imagine it can probably do very well at Eurovision but Kemama was the one song here that I think I actually actively dislike. It's really so far away from music I'd want to experience, and I'm very open. It's just sadly I can't open up for this. Leaves me feeling very cold.

I can only give a kind 3 points.

 

[DaFlo]

I will give 8 pts in poll. It's nice but it obviously lacks something.

Always love to see black excellence winning

 

[Diego]

The international jury destroyed the result. What a mistake.

 

[tuorem]

... I'm very open... sadly I can't open up for this...

 

[LastDreamer]

Worst entry.
from me.

 

[LeRoyaumeUni]

I can't get to like this at all! The Czech Republic had so many better options!

I can't see this qualifying, sorry!
