Our first internal selection release is just around the corner! Czechia’s representative ADONXS has announced he will perform an acoustic version of his Eurovision song at Malta’s first semifinal on 4th February.
ADONXS to premiere “Kiss Kiss Goodbye”
“Kiss Kiss Goodbye” will premiere its acoustic version this week at the first semifinal of Malta Eurovision Song Contest, but the official release will not happen until March. The songwriters have not yet been revealed.
Czechia held song submissions in September of 2024. After several rounds of deliberation by an international jury, music professionals, and a focus group, “Kiss Kiss Goodbye” was announced as the title at the end of January; ADONXS’ participation was confirmed in December.
Real name Adam Pavlovčin, ADONXS is a singer, actor, and model. He was born in Slovakia and was formerly the frontman of London-based band Pace; he released his first solo album in 2022, after winning Czech-Slovak talent show SuperStar in 2021. He is known for his gender-bending style and basso profondo voice.
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. 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 Having withdrawn in 2009 due to poor results, Czechia returned to the Contest in 2015.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”.
Czechia opted for a national selection in 2024, ultimately choosing Aiko with the song “Pedestal”. “Pedestal” scored 38 points in the second semifinal, placing eleventh and just missing out on the Grand Final.
