Czech Republic: Whose turn? Martina’s turn.

She’s trying her hand at Eurovision and Martina Bárta is pretty excited about it all.

The Czech Republic has sent a jazz singer to the Contest with a song that doesn’t quite fit the jazz mould. She might have the shiny gold suit, ballad and lights but she’s also singing from the heart with My Turn.

Find out more about that suit, what she’s learnt from jazz and how she feels about representing her country.
