Comedy, JOYEurovision: The Show, Music, National Finals, Society & Culture

We usually expect Albania to start the national final season, but Czechia has come along and stolen the limelight with ESCZ.

With a 70% international / 30% Czech vote split, Aiko won the Czech ticket to Malmö with Pedestal. But Michael and Io have thoughts about the end result and what it might mean for future national finals. They also have thoughts about the other six songs that were vying for a place at Eurovision.

Who would Michael have given extra points to?

Which song was Io surprisingly advocating?

What notes do the team have for ČT?
