Czechia 2024
Aiko
Pedestal

The artists competing in this NS are:

Aiko
Elly
Gianna Lei
Lenny
MYDY
Tom Sean
Tomas Robin

A lot of them appeared in various Eurovision fan song contests so this would be another great year for Czechia I'd expect. :D

The first three songs have been released:

 

Two of them are nothing special but 'Red Flag Parade' has a really good progression and production, that has potential.

Tom Sean - Dopamine Overdose is findable on twitter and sounds like a bop/one for the January BJSC when it inevitably flops.

Here are a couple more:

 

so apparently they're keeping the voting for this open for the next week and ANYONE can just vote via the Eurovision app

 

One way to hide low televote numbers I guess :basil:

 

anyway MYDY to win, clear standout among the 7, voted for that one x

My rankings so far:

 

Pedestal (7.5/10)

The Angel's Share (7/10)

Red Flag Parade (6/10)

Out of My Mind (6/10)

Pedestal won the NS. Elly and MYDY in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

 

The live is a mess ngl but songwise it is the strongest of all. The scream at 2:10 I can't- :rofl:

I can only conclude that no one voting watched the live because that was a disaster of a live performance. Okay song but potential disaster for Czechia incoming unless she improves.

also lmao I've just seen the vote totals no WAY is that a legit result unless Aiko's hiding some secret overseas fanbase I'm not aware of. Seems most Czechs were behind Elly, almost 10 times as many as were behind Aiko.

My final ranking:

 

1. Pedestal (7.5/10)

2. The Angel's Share (7/10)

3. Red Flag Parade (6/10)

4. Good Enough (6/10)

5. Dopamine Overdose (6/10)

6. Out of My Mind (6/10)

7. Starlet (6/10)

 

Average ranking: 6.36/10

Top 5 ranking: 6.5/10

 

There are a lot of mid songs in this selection but Pedestal is the better of them all.

The revamped version added little to me so my rating remains the same x

Even the (much improved) love performance of this is TERRIBLE. I'm absolutely gutted as this is my favourite song this year by a mile. 😭😭

I feel like someone will use it on TikTok and somehow the song becomes the next SNAP. Very Olivia Rodrigo imo.

Great if they did as I think it's great and I felt the same about snap.

This ended up in my top 10. Shame it didn't qualify
