[escYOUnited]

Honestly don't care
I'm happy you're here
Tryna make you smile for a while now
I'm like, "Omaga, you're so beautiful"
Why don't you come over and have it?
Why don't you let me have it? Oh

I did a lot of dumb shh
Lot of things I wish I didn't do, aye
Baby, come back, won't you?
Back, come back, he-ey
Oh, I'm crazy
Is it crazy to love you?
Baby, come back, won't you?
Back, come back

You said you're still too mad 'bout them things I did
But I don't know what I did, my baby, yeah
You said you again feel down, to blame apocalypse
There ain't no apocalypse
Long as you're here on my lips

Honestly don't care
I'm happy you're here
I'm tryna make you smilе for a while now
I'm like, "Omaga, you're so bеautiful"
Why don't you come over and have it?
Why don't you let me have it? Oh

You've been home too long
I've been home too long, yeah
We both need to feel love, nothing wrong with that
Můžeš bejt u mě klidně mužem dělat jakoby

There ain't no apocalypse
Long as you're here on my lips

Honestly don't care
I'm happy you're here

You said you're still too mad 'bout them things I did
But I don't know what I did (what I did, what I did)
You said you again feel down, to blame apocalypse
There ain't no apocalypse
Long as you're here on my lips

Honestly don't care
I'm happy you're here
I'm tryna make you smile for a while now
I'm like, "Omaga, you're so beautiful"

Omaga, omaga

Well, I expected a bit more tbh. Jan Bors should just shut up, his over hyping is counter-productive.
I think Kemama had more personality which I kinda miss in Omaga. Anyway I am pretty sure Benny will kill it live, he's always been a showman and good performer so I count on this to bring us to the final again

 

[HayashiM]

ok this is a serve big time. didn't i hear some Czech lines in it though????

There's one little line "Můžeš bejt u mě klidně, můžem dělat jakoby" ("it's ok if you come at my place, we can pretend like"... there ain't no apocalypse)

(I'd just like to point out Benny's no covid denier and he wears his masks on all videos where I see him with someone else...)

 

[BorisBubbles]

lol, I would rank this second last so far, only above Israel. I like it, it's fun and ditzy and shallow and all that lovely trash that I enjoy, but on relisten it's a tad too chaotic to really resonate? It needs something to ground it, something memorable, like a good act. If Czech can pull that off, my opinion will improve.

Studio's fine on its own though. Easy for when the poll goes up.

 

[Mainshow]

I didn't expect much. I don't know whether I should like or dislike this. That type of music is not my cup of tea and honestly, I wouldn't play something like that on a Netflix & Chill date.

Also, it's very repetitive and monotonous in my opinion. Overall, the production is a amazing but I can't get into it.

I guess it's my least favourite Czech entry since 2008.

I need to listen to it again but it's either a or for me now.

Exactly my thoughts for now, "Kemama" first version was somehow more original and authentic to me..
But it can be maybe a good thing for "Omaga"...
And I also hope and am almost sure live will be great again..

This is not bad at all, but Benny's style of half-chanting, half-singing will always divide some people, and I was finding about halfway through that I was wishing he'd just commit to a melody rather than all this cool-guy "am I on key singing or purposely talking melodically - you'll never know, and I don't care" stuff.

It's probably not pitched for my taste, but overall the production is far more polished and it sounds more like a radio-hit from across Europe rather than a niche amateur production for the likes of a local student radio station which was always the impression I got with Kemama.

Im saving this somewhere to give out at someone who has problem with that line

 

[stephanos13]

Pretty meh for me.

It has potential for a good staging though.

 

[apasionata]

Uninspired. Gabriela, queen please come back and save us from this macho disaster.

 

[Teaisloveable]

I don't mind it, I think Kemama had more "personality" but I think this can do well on the night. It's not winning, but its not coming last either!

It'll be interesting to see if there is a revamp and if so, what will be done with it.

 

[Leydan]

Its ok. I had hoped for more from it but tbh this just isn't really it for me to get fully into it. I liked Pre-Revamp Kemama quite a bit, and while this does feel like an improvement in some aspects it also feels quite chaotic and all over the place. Maybe it's song that works better live.

 

[Gera11]

I expected something messy but it is a lot more polished than "Kemama", radio friendly and pretty fun overall but, despite its name, it's not really an OMG song for me. Bonus points for them happy vibes.

Not sure how it would work live, I feel like the performance will make it or break it.

Me after hearing this song:

DAMN I FEEL GOOD WHEN HEARING THIS! What a nice chill and happy tune, really catchy tune, makes me wanna dance and sing a long. Great job Benny, this is also a song we need in these times.

Damn, ESC 21 is giving me life so far, keep them coming!

No revamp for this one I can assure you... Benny made it pretty clear he intends to take things in a bit more relaxed way this time, not trying to please everyone, hoping to achieve a good result by concentrating on himself and enjoying the Eurovision experience. Of course he will be there for his fans, but I very much doubt he'd go for a revamp.

way to go...

 

[mauve]

So after a few listenings it sounds a little chaotic to me. I definitely like this more than Israel, Croatia and even Lithuania, but I would give it only a 6 pts for now.

 

[Looren]

Well I listened to it

His voice is quite nice but man this song... it's better than Kemama but I don't like it

Last place in my ranking so far and a

 

[JChan]

So I LOVE this! I think it's such a feel-good bop. I struggled to connect with Kemama last year but I pretty instantly loved this.

 

[Mimmon]

Even I loved Kenama but I prefer this over Kenama...

 

[astatine86]

There's too much going on in this song. 4/10.
