The rumor has it Czech Republic has thrown in the towel and will not come to Oslo 2010 "due to lack of interest of the Czech public." How about lack of success? In three years of participation they have managed to get together only a total of 10 points, two last places, one second to last place and even one dreadful nil points! Now that must be an Eurovision all time record in any standards! It's a shame as they have sent 3 respectable entries in 3 different styles and by no means the worst of each year!They debuted in Helsinki 2007 with rock band Kábat with Mála dáma. Excellent song but it managed to score only 1 point from Estonia and came last in semifinal. In Belgrade 2008 they tried with happy pop song with a pretty - yet vocally challenged - Tereza Kerndlová asking us to Have some fun. Voters in Turkey (1), Croatia (2), Malta (1) and Macedonia (5) did worth of 9 points and second to last place in its semifinal leaving only Hungary behind. And this year in Moscow Gipsy.cz's Aven Romale was overlooked by everyone and it scored a big flat zero. I kinda enjoyed that one, too!
If the rumor turns out right Armenia will miss Czechs the most: they have received a staggering 34 points from them in 3 years! Ukraine (25), Russia (21) and Azerbaijan (20) might feel some longing, too....
