Czech Republic: The country changes its name to Czechia at Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Name change for the Czech Republic in the Eurovision contest, which will now participate under the name Czechia and not the Czech Republic it used until now.

The change was confirmed by the country’s head of press in the competition, Ahmad Halloun, with a related Tweet.

The change has already been made on the various social media of the official Eurovision account, but also on the website of the competition. Vesna will be the first representatives of the country under this name.

The Czech Republic changed its name to Czechia from Czech Republic in 2016, and the new name gradually came to be used in all international competitions. In 2022, the country was named Czechia at the UN, so the change of name in the Eurovision song contest was an expected development.

Do you think that Czechia after the name change will have the luck of North Macedonia, which in 2019 managed to win the juries voting and achieve its best position in the contest?

Eurovision 2022: Czech Republic’s Second Rehearsal

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The last country to get on stage for their second rehearsal, with delay due to problems during the Swedish rehearsal, is the Czech Republic. Despite their effort, the We Are Domi band, didn’t manage to make an impact on the betting odds. In their first rehearsal, they were dressed in black and gold colours and the stadium was full of lights, giving the impression of being in a big night club.

The Second Rehearsal

The performance starts with a close-up on the DJ’s systems and then on the face of the lead singer, who’s on the floor. On the second round, the close-up is directly on the lead singer. The band wears the same out-fit as in the first rehearsal. Ancient Greek statues appear on the LED screens, that at some point break and the stage floods with flickering lights, giving the impression of a night club. The guitarist plays his custom-made cello-string guitar on stage with a bow.

Vocally the singer was excellent and the whole rehearsal completed with zero problems.

Watch the exclusive clip of the second rehearsal through the cameras:
