What did some of our team members have to say about their favourite songs from ESCZ 2024?

Daniel : The Angel’s Share lives up to it’s name with a heavenly vibe, and the song has everything I look for an an up-tempo pop ballad, with what I think is a very strong chorus and a beat that sticks in your head.
Elly had some of the better vocals on the night in Roxy and I think the song is easily the best from this selection.

Jazzi: Red Flag Parade is dynamic, fun and engaging. I thought MYDY’s performance was the most complete on the night of ESCZ. That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy other performances though. I feel MYDY have the most to work with in terms of a song/stage show package that could get Czechia a surprising result in May. This song is memorable and has that replay factor for me. It is a song I have gone back to many times on Spotify since the show last week.

Euan: Tomas’ vocal style in ‘Out of my mind’ is reminiscent of early to mid 2010s pop rock, coupled with a solid contemporary beat that is easily memorable, and simultaneously nostalgic while still remaining fresh. Quite often I feel contemporary numbers of this nature tend to be quite unbalanced in the chorus; either being too mellow, or far too aggressive vocally. I feel Tomas has struck the balance with the perfectly, and his, at times, quite gruff voice compliments the beat of the track well, and this is showcased perfectly during the hook. While it’s safe to say no performer had a fantastic vocal performance during the live broadcast, Tomas did stand out significantly to me personally both vocally and in his stage presence. Overall I think this song stands hear and shoulders above the other competing entries this year

Czechia’s Eurovision Journey

Czechia made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, with Kabát’s “Malá dama”. However, their debut entry finished last in a 28-song semi-final, scoring only 1 point. Afterwards, this kicked off three consecutive non-qualifications, with their best result coming in 2008, finishing in second-last place. Having withdrawn in 2009 due to poor results, Czechia returned to the Contest in 2015. In 2016, Czechia qualified for the first time with Gabriela Gunciková’s “I Stand”.

In 2023, Vesna represented Czechia with their song “My Sister’s Crown”. Performing in the first semi-final in Liverpool, the band qualified for the final – and finished in 10th place in a field of 26 with 129 points. Of these, 94 points came from the juries and 35 points came from the televote.
