Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Freddie got restyled Gabbamania continues with the new single and video coming up Barei celebrates September ... as does Edurne Anouk not so much Musiqq makes most of it as does Poli (Cheers!) The Swedish stars are onto something as is Edsilia - one jazzy lady! Tereza... well, do we wanna know? Vaclav's got a brother Can they challenge togerher Iron man Amir? Or Guy? Kristina looks pretty and ready to sing while Lena is doing some product placement Lucie got married.... .. as did Hanna but Ott's cat is having done of it. You're not going anywhere!

Well, can you blame them? Czech Republic managed to collect a total of 10 points in their three year's of participation, or two last places and one second to last place in semifinals. No wonder they are not keen to return and participate in 2013 either. Nor are they interested in broadcasting the show(s) so it also rules out the participation in 2014...  But with songs like Have some fun and Aven romale , do we really mind? Mala dama  was pretty good though!

Ex-Czechoslovakia was broadcasting Eurovision already back in the 1960´s and 1970´s but when the country was divided Slovakia went for Eurovision already in 1994 but it took until Helsinki 2007 that we had an entry for Czech Republic. They were already ment to debut in 2005 but withdraw for financial reasons, and again in 2006 but 2007 they did finally enter - and came last or 28th in the semifinal with one point. Next year they did a bit better, second to last or 18th and their third attempt in 2009 brought them nul points, last and 18th place. No wonder they lost their will to participate.... Indeed they announced already in early summer 2009 that they would not take part in Oslo 2010. It looks rather unlikely they will ever return. Shame. They tried a bit of everything and here are their three very different entries: 2007 , 2008, 2009 . I liked especially 2007, very underrated song!

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 Mosco...
