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

Hhahaa it is "KeMama", you write "KeNama" all the time..

 

[Mimmon]

Hhahaa it is "KeMama", you write "KeNama" all the time..

I know it got stuck in me

 

[Teaisloveable]

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.

Well that is fine by me!

I think this is what matters the most! Especially this year of all years!

 

[Stashio833]

I think it's definitely better than Kemama, but over all middle of the pack for me. Out of the current 7 that are released, I put Omaga at my 4th place.

Now, it is 19:00 CET

 

[Etanna]

Now, it is 19:00 CET

I believe it was supposed to be at 19:00 CET the whole time. I'm pretty sure that's what both Benny and Jan Bors said in their videos. I don't know where people came up with the earlier time?

 

[Matt]

Premieres at 19:00 CET

 

[gingerale]

Ahhh. Can't wait.

 

[EscGeek]

Notice it says 6:58 PM. This madlad Benny Cristo has listened to my complaint for a second year in a row. I stan

 

[John1]

tbh i can't stop listening to it, it's a bop

 

[Mainshow]

Ok, it's a solid - It's catchy somehow and really well-produced.

I still fail to see some "melody" in the composition. It's also too reptitive (especially the final part of the song) but overall, I think that the Czech Republic has higher chances to qualify this year (compared to Kemama 3.0). It seems pretty en vogue and - even though I wouldn't call it a bop - it's a fun up-tempo track.

The music video was very entertaining! Loved the Walt Disney, Simpsons and Forrest Gump references!

 

[Sammy]

What shall I say.... If it wasn't for Eurovision, I wouldn't listen to this. Just leaves me cold. Sorry Czech Republic.
It's a solid production, the video is also well made... I'd give it for the moment and wait if it grows (but I doubt it)

 

[MAD20]

Not my cup of tea, better than Kemama definitely but meh... 5 points for now.

 

[BorisBubbles]

The VC did manage to sell the song. Never underestimate the power of a strong visual component, folks. I love Benny's aesthetic btw. He's so glam

I'm pleased they're going for goofy self-deprecation too, as a vibe. It's smart, funny (without being distracting) and conjures up smiles willy-nilly. I'm sticking with a because the composition itself is rather chaotic and all over the place, but this should morph into an excellent on-stage act.

Now it's up to the other acts of semi 2 to deliver something equal or better.

 

[Mimmon]

SUCH A BOP
Probably my favourite radio friendly song in whole year
But I need to hear all songs

 

[Ana Raquel]

It was a 7 at first listen, but after seeing it with the clip, I increased to an . Bless having a feel-good song this year, we need it.

 

[nofuxCZ]

I've been listening to it the whole afternoon and it's grown on me xD I like the verses more than the chorus
Also nice music video, especially considering they had only a week to shoot all of it.

 

[Etanna]

It's not for me unfortunately, the instrumentation is too much and overall it sounds quite generic and not really memorable. And "oh my god" started getting on my nerves halfway through the song, it's an annoying phrase to begin with but hearing it 100 times within 3 minutes is just too much.
I don't hate it or anything but it's not something I would vote for... I definitely prefer Kemama (1st version).

Oh and Jan Bors is such a liar, he really is This is not our best entry ever nor is it Benny's best song ever

I've listened to it around 15 times by now and it's grown on me as well.
I'll give it an in the poll.

The music video is kind of cringy. He comes off in it as a womanizer.

I'm sure that's playing a character but still.
