    People need to take Czech Republic song seriously. It's a great tune 👌

      It is becoming annoying how folks year after year are constantly playing CR. It's tired. CR is showing up and delivering quality.

    You know Czech Republic is just great this year.. People are just downgrading it immensely and it's annoying.. Good luck Benny and Czech Republic

    I love the Czech entry, it's fun, fresh, full of energy and charisma. I read somebody saying "this is how you do easy and simple without sounding like something you've heard 1000 times before", and I think that's spot on

    This genre of music is often overlooked by the Eurovision fan community this song stands out this year easy qualifier we know benny can perform live the Czech Republic have been delivering in recent years this is my dark horse for this year I think with great staging it will come top 10 great job again Czech Republic :) wishing you luck this year

    I never vote for Eurovision but I think Czech Republic is gonna need help this year and I'm about to offer mine if I want this song to qualify..
    And to quote Petra and Mans; You don't have the right to complain about the result if you haven't voted!!

    Last year I'd always forget Belgium's song, Release me. This year, however, I always forget this song exists, I was checking my top the other day and was confused as to why it only had 38 songs but could not figure out this was the one that was missing. Unpopular opinion, but Kemama was better (before the revamp at least).

    I'd be very okay if this won too, considering it's my personal number 1 this year. The only songs that have come even close to threatening it in my ranking have been "Zitti e buoni" and "Je me casse".

    I'm 90% sure Czechia has very good chances this year. Benny is 100% the returning artist with the biggest glow-up if you look at his 2020 and 2021 entries. Moldova has also made a big leap, but from Kemama to Omaga is like a vault jump

    What is your top 10? Great video 😍

  • @heppolo

    Loved "Kemama" more than "omaga". In short, Benny absolutely deserves to qualify. "omaga" kinda reminds me of UK's Rizzle Kicks as well.

    This song is so underrated imo. I don't see this NQing at esc, I think it's more likely that will come top 15. It's a strong song with a good performer that will definitely appeal to many average viewers that aren't in the esc bubble

    Omaga reminds me of any song on a Fifa soundtrack

    Maybe you can address this in another video but do you have a theory on why the fandom have issues with the hip hop genre?

    • @AlesiaMichelle
      @AlesiaMichelle  Před 3 lety +1

      I have servers theories but if I address it perhaps I’ll wait to see what the results of this year are.

  • @rortegagc8981
    @rortegagc8981 Před 3 lety

    I tend to agree with your reviews, but not this time. OMAGA is one of my least favorite songs this year and I don’t expect it to qualify. I honestly can’t see it on the final. Let’s see what happens.

    I really liked Kemama but unfortunately I’m not a fan of this song. But good luck to him anyway

  • @LLMTLTO
    @LLMTLTO Před 3 lety +1

    Only probably with OMAGA for me is that the title reminds me too much of a certain orange man’s political slogan... I’ve been scarred by the last four years tbh

      From now on, this is the only criticism of the Czech Republic's entry I'll allow.
