Re: SLOVAKIA 2016

Adam's music is a little plain to me. I'd much rather send Gitanas, although they've faded.

Dominika Mirgova would be great but that's never going to happen either xcheer

Re: SLOVAKIA 2016

Ι think she is not strong enough to support live a song.
In the year that Kristina won the NF, the 2nd song would do much better in Eurovision, and everything would be different now for Slovakia.

She did alright live, certainly better than some other acts that year that made it to the finals... what effed up the performance was the messy back-ground singer... sure Kristina gave an insecure feeling about her but vocally it wasn't that bad... but that's just a proof that ESC today has nothing to do with songs, only big wailers make it regardless if their songs are pure sh*t while true masterpiece songs like "Horehronie" didn't because they didn't have a big wailer doing the song (and a big wailer would destroy a song like that anyways)... there's just room for one type of vocals in ESC nowadays :/

I don't see other slovakian contestants good as her, honestly.

I hope they will come back! Maybe next year they will have better chances of getting their first douze points ever, considering :cz: is back in the game ;)

C'mon Slovakia! You have excellent music industry for such a small country. Show it to the whole world!

Anyway, I still want joint Czech-Slovak national final. It would be amazing. We have so many common Czech-Slovak TV projects, why not do that for Eurovision as well?
It worked for Idol, a declining TV show, which the new Czech-Slovak aspect helped to revive. I think it would work amazingly for Eurovision as well.

Speaking of Czechoslovak Idol, the new season starts today and 3 of the 4 judges have something to do with Eurovision ;) (Marta Jandová - obvious, Ondřej Soukup - producer of this year's CZ entry, Klára Vytisková - participant in CZ 2008 NF).
Winner of Idol representing Slovakia in Eurovision wouldn't be bad as well - lots of people are hating on Idol, saying they are all karaoke singers, but don't realize most of these have had bands for years before Idol. Plus it worked quite well for Sweden, didn't it? :p

Re: SLOVAKIA 2016

OMG, my heart skipped a beat when I saw new posts in the Slovakian thread xheat
Even though I doubt they can qualify without selling out, I'd be super happy to see them come back.
Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary... Central Europe should join forces to save us all and bring Eurovision there! xpray

We hadn't a whole Visegrad Group present on Eurovision since 2009 ;)

And that's a shame. None of you qualified back in 2009, now it's time for revenge.
Seriously, you're capable of winning imo. Hungary got close in 2014, I'm sure their time will come soon. As for Poland, TVP should think out of the box and aim at quality to improve your results, so you can do it too since your music scene is rich. Czechs must try again, "Hope Never Dies" was a great surprise, so they're not hopeless (underrated maybe). Slovakia needs to come back and stick to its interesting local music scene, no more American wannabe please.

Re: SLOVAKIA 2016

Well, now that CT confirmed Czech Republic will participate next year, I think there is quite a big chance that a change of heart will happen in RTVS - after all one of the main reasons why they withdrew was that (according to RTVS) even successful broadcasters such as CT choose to stay away from Eurovision. Now their reason isn't up-to-date so in case of non-participation they will have to come up with another explanation for their decision :)

Time for a Kristina comeback! ;) But I'm fine with other artists too, as long as their song is decent and well performed live!

EDIT: Is Kristian that popular in Slovakia? - This video has almost 3 million viewers!! That's quite much for a country like Slovakia!

Someone may confirm that better than me, but I guess that she is quite successful, yes. She has a few hits: Stonka, Horehronie, V sieti ťa mám, Pri oltári, and others I don't remember.

I love her song "Jabĺčko" xheart Can we have something like this next year?

Re: SLOVAKIA 2016

My question is if Kristina still is together with Dima Bilan, or if it just was a short relationship? Were talks about it, I think it was in late 2013-early 2014. :p

No they aren't anymore. She's with me now, but don't tell anyone. :cool:

She is quite popular, although until "Ta ne" came out I had a feeling her popularity was bigger here in the Czech R. than in Slovakia. :mrgreen:
