Czech Republic CZECHIA 2023 - Vesna - My Sister's Crown

[ESC United Mod Team]

They said that or is this irony? Everyone else except them and UK did very well with the unprofessional organization. I'm actually quite sad because Czechia has been my favorite (music video) from the start. I'm not just sad because of the vocals. It's the whole stage thing... The dancing and "rocking around" to a song I fell in love with because of its haunting, almost religious feeling fairytale mystery (that was many words). Why do they do this? The most impactful thing is when they sit next to each other in the chorus. Like princesses in protest,- it's anthemic. I know this is a pre party but they're killing the whole vibe!

I think they want to have fun at parties and at Eurovision they will take it serious.

OK here is mine opinion:

Yes, they souded bad, but they had TECHNICAL ISSUES. Tanita´s (rapper) microphone didn´t work, so the Polish production decided to give her moderator´s microphone. This mic wasn´t set for singers, and they didn´t have chance to re-set it. This is the reason why she sounded so "screamy". Patricie (lead singer) sounded excelent compared to NF. Production didn´t give them headphones so they didn´t hear each other. This is reason why they weren´t perfect with sound.

Some people are scared about their staging. Look at the size of this stage. Half of stage is actually drumm set. It´s logic that they can´t do something big. I think they will left their instrumets for Eurovision and make their staging excelent as Czechia did last year. Look at their TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/video/7215264048202484998
This choreography has the potential to preserve the mystery of the video clip on the Eurovision stage. They are working with great dance composer. Also look at ESCZ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpXMjvwM7uX/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

I know, this is for music video, but why would they post it AFTER music video. I´m 95% sure they will have same costumes from music video at Eurovision (or they'll have some better ones). Maybe they want keep it secret.

Hopefully they will be better in Tel Aviv. I think there is better production and if not correct me.

Sorry for mine English.

This Vesna's statement about yesterday's concert: Oh yeah... Tanite's microphone didn't work at the beginning, so they put her in as a moderator... she didn't even have a chance to test the microphone. And they didn't even let our voices into the headphones, so we couldn't hear each other at all. Everyone who was there saw how unprofessional the organization was, but we made it to the end.

That just lame. I watched all performances and everybody was grabbing their headphone and it was obvious they had issues, but most of them sounded fine.
They sounded just as in their NF performance, nowhere near the studio version of the song and the whole performance, vocals aside, looked awkward and unprofessional.
Mention technical issues if you feel the need, but nobody is interested into hearing specifics and details of it or your trashing of the organiser while you make excuses for yourself.
Go home and rehearse.

I've thought for some time this is one of the most overrated songs of this season by the fan community. I'm not sure it has a lot of widespread appeal for casual viewers, and I feel that the hype for it in the bubble has pushed it higher in many people's rankings. It's by no means bad, and should qualify fairly easily, but I think it might get a little lost in the grand final.

 

[lacrymea]

Yeah, this isn't good. The song is hauntingly beautiful and the studio version is in my top5. But I still have to see a live performance that actually convinces me. Still waiting...

This just sounds and looks chaotic and they don't blend at all. Shame... :-/

I saw the video of their rehearsal and they sounded great in that video. People need to stop being so overdramatic about pre-parties. Eurovision and pre-party performances are two different things.

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

It's crucial for them to get their vocal harmonies straight in the chorus because the chorus (Sestro krasiva...) is the only part that elevates the song for all audiences regardless of their personal preferences. If that part doesn't turn out literally perfect, their votes will be decimated, I'm positive.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I think it will qualify unless something goes disastrously wrong with the performance in the semi, the song is strong enough to qualify

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

I love the song but they NEED to improve the performance. They desperately need to do so. Otherwise this will crash and burn (I will be so disappointed if so).

probably prerecord backing vocals will save them in liverpool xixi

 

[Slabsson79]

Was it a dull, weak performance? YES
Would such a performance deserve to NQ? YES
Will their performance in Liverpool be like that. Hardly

Their song is very complex and structured and does not allow for much flaws. The problem was the composure, which failed and whilst it most probably was a technical issue, the rather fun-ridden approach and staging without concept did not help here much. They should really focus and presenting themselves as a good band and not just enjoy themselves at parties. That will backfire.

Their history and even their recent Insta show, that they can deliver and give a good performance. So girls...bring it on please

 

[Ezio]

I‘m on the edge of downgrading this what looked like a glory. But I‘m waiting for more lives and rehearsals.

 

[empo21]

It seems like they want to keep the dancy vibes from NF and that worries me. For me, the song loses it's charm when I see them dancing and jumping around. Match the energy, please, because there are a lot of entries in semi 1 creeping for the casual viewer vote.

 

[HayashiM]

I agree with Tomáš and other voices, I don't think we need to worry about the vocals that much, staging is the bigger obstacle. Their hips sways are kind of cute, but can the ladies do anything else? I'd love to see some proper interaction between the group, I am afraid they are perhaps too fixated on the camera for now. We need more closeups and fast cuts in the verses, saving more wideshots for the chorus. Should they remain this static, we are done.

But what the heck, except for Omaga, our stagings have all been very good in the last few years, and so far there was no stage room for any real dynamics in their perfomances, so I remain cautiously optimistic

 

[SAYAY]

I would just like to say that I love this amazing group of women, and they have my heart

Obviously a more suitable stage and more profound sound engineering. We will get to see the full result soon. Looks indeed promising.

Is there a stream for Israel Calling?

Their performance at Israel Calling was great! I'm not concerned and I would be shocked if these queens don't qualify.
