Great reaction. You're right - she's got so much confidence and is so comfortable on stage. The rest can be fixed - she's got literally half a year to improve! From interviews, it became so clear that she knows very well what Eurovision is about, she mentioned he stage idea of having a pedestal on the stage and Ancient Rome-inspired pillars around - it's great to hear she has a vision - unlike some other contestants! I wonder if she'll use the remaining 30s in some way or if she just keeps it short.
I'm disappointed, but hopeful. I appreciate the sentiment of the song, but when the Czech voters only put her 5th, that doesn't indicate the country would be behind her. I wanted either the 2nd or 3rd place finishers to represent, and it seems the Czech voters did too (I voted internationally). Shouldn't the country's opinion hold more weight?
That was the system of rules everyone involved agreed on. I would for sure prefer it differently but it is not my choice and we need to respect this method
@@JanBorsThe issue is that the voting app was buggy, opening the door for fraud and mistakes. The winning margin was too high to seem legitimate. They put too much weight on the app vote, and didn't even bother normalizing the numbers, so poor math as well. The singers who signed up knew that the vote would be coming from two places, but I am sure they didn't know any details about the app nor the shoddy math. I find this result more egregious than Poland in 2023.
@@CoxaBrancamain problem with the app was that you couldn’t change your vote, so when some people pressed on the first song expecting to hear it or more information about it, they accidentally voted for aiko, hence the 30k vote for her probably
@@jordiv100 That happened to me, but I pressed Midy. I thought clicking the picture would give some information or play a snippet of the song, but it just recorded the vote and didn't even ask you to confirm your choice.
My first impression with "Pedestal" was that it reminded me of Olivia Rodrigo's discography, specifically with the pop-punk influences. That said, I do enjoy it, with the energy and the attitude she conveys. RE the live performance: I think she has time to improve, but we'll have to see. Good luck Aiko!
I hope she'll change a little bit the vibe of performance from national round. Right know it gives me Theodor Andrei from previous year which was kinda mess and felt a little cheap.

I hope it will stay like it is honestly.
