That’s a compliment, kind of. The whole song is suddenly reminding me a lot of Russia’s Peter Nalitch last time they let me in to one of these things, but it’s lacking something – that little twinkle in the eye that said “No, you’re right, we couldn’t possibly be this miserable really…”. It’s all drama and upset, but it’s kind of trying to claim territory that the Norwegians have already well and truly staked out five minutes earlier in a more subtle, understated, *better* way.
It’s very good at what it does, but it just might not be the right song to get the Czechs into the final for the first time.
