Czechia: Over 45.000 viewers watched ESCZ 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This year ESCZ, the national final through which Czechia’s entry for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest was selected, was broadcast live on TV by Czech broadcaster ČT art instead of being streamed online for the first time in fifteen years. This move was well received by the television audience, as ESCZ drew in over 45,000 viewers.

This number corresponds to 1.22% of the total viewers.

Aiko, with the song “Pedestal”, was the ESCZ winner and, as a result, the Czech representative in Eurovision 2024.

By collecting nearly twice as many votes as Elly, who came in second in the final rankings, Aiko was able to get the ticket for Malmö through the voting of the international audience rather than the Czech one.

The detailed results of ESCZ 2024:
  1. Aiko – 23.898
  2. Elly – 12.876
  3. MYDY – 7.031
  4. Tom Sean – 3.500
  5. Lenny – 2.375
  6. Tomas Robin – 1.313
  7. Gianna Lei – 653

Czechia: The detailed voting results of ESCZ 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just a few hours ago, ČT, the national broadcaster of Czechia, announced the winner of its national selection.

A week ago, seven artists performed their songs live during the Czech national final, with voting opening during the evening and closing on December 12. The result was determined by 70% of the voting of an international audience and 30% of the voting of the Czech audience, crowning Aiko with “Pedestal” as the winner of ESCZ 2024.

Moreover, ČT has also published the detailed voting results of ESCZ 2024, which were shaped up as following:

International Votes (70% of the outcome)
  1. Aiko – 33.107 votes
  2. Elly – 7.817 votes
  3. MYDY – 7.283 votes
  4. Tom Sean – 3.573 votes
  5. Lenny – 1.586 votes
  6. Tomas Robin – 1.563 votes
  7. Gianna Lei – 773 votes
Czech Votes (30% of the outcome)
  1. Elly – 24.679 votes
  2. MYDY – 6.443 votes
  3. Lenny – 4.216 votes
  4. Tom Sean – 3.331 votes
  5. Aiko – 2.410 votes
  6. Tomas Robin – 728 votes
  7. Gianna Lei – 372 votes
The Final Result (as calculated and rounded up based on the 70/30 proportion)
  1. Aiko – 23.898 votes
  2. Elly – 12.876 votes
  3. MYDY – 7.031 votes
  4. Tom Sean – 3.500 votes
  5. Lenny – 2.375 votes
  6. Tomas Robin – 1.313 votes
  7. Gianna Lei – 653 votes

 

It is noticeable that the International and Czech audience did not agree upon the winner of the selection. International viewers gave the win my a massive margin to Aiko, while the Czech audience massively voted for Elly, while placing Aiko fifth out of seven. Although, the win in the international votes was crucial for Aiko, giving her the ticket to Malmö.

Who is Aiko?

Aiko, currently based in Brighton (United Kingdom), is a visionary artist who delves into profound themes such as love, solitude, and self-understanding, using her music as a medium for introspection and connection.

Aiko’s journey in the music industry has been nothing short of remarkable. Her sophomore album, Fortune’s Child is a testament to her growth as an artist and the depth of her musical prowess.

Breaking barriers and making history, Aiko proudly stands as the first Czech artist to grace the iconic Times Square. Moreover, she has earned the distinction of being the first Czech female artist to contribute to the global Spotify Equal Campaign, emphasising her commitment to inclusivity and equality within the music industry.
