Czech Republic CZECH REPUBLIC 2022 - We Are Domi - Lights Off

[escYOUnited]

I lost my soul, forgot my way
There's no mistakes that I've not made
Changes hurt and I'm alone
But people say, "My, how you've grown"


Tried changing jobs, tried changing lovers
Changing my furniture, change my bed covers
I'd change my heart, but there's not a chance
So I turn the lights off


Where are you now when I miss you?
You're sailin' around in my peripheral
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?


I'll ring thе changes, make a plan
I'm small, but mighty, yes, I can
I'll build a fortrеss, I'll be the wall
I'll be a queen, invincible


Tried changing jobs, tried changing lovers
Changing my furniture, change my bed covers
I'd change my heart, but there's not a chance
So I turn the lights off


Where are you now when I miss you?
You're sailin' around in my peripheral
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?


Once again I'm left without control
I'm far away, but can you hear me call?
Where are you now?


Where are you now when I miss you?
You're sailin' around in my peripheral
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?​

The changes on the ESC version are pretty subtle, similar to what Ireland did to theirs.
But I didn't like what they do to the break, seems a little unnecessary and kinda break the momentum of the song abit.
But not a big issue, the song is still good.

Now they just need to make sure the lead singer can sing on the actual ESC stage as the one performance I have seen, she sounds horrendous. And if she is going to sound the same, they are basically throwing their qualification chance away since the song is one of the best this year.

Having listened to both versions, the main difference is that the lead singer's voice has been given more backing. The are also some changes to some of the mixing and production, but it really feels like this isn't a revamp but rather a recognition that the lead singer is looking like she might need extra vocal assistance for an unedited live performance. (There was that live performance she did earlier where her live vocls just weren't there.)

I'm thinking the same thing and it makes me feel better knowing that they are aware of their weaknesses and are working on the solutions

 

[hijirio]

The live performance in Romanian NF really elevated this for me.
I love me some fried vocals and she delivered THAT

 

[Iker]

I have a feeling that will NQ once again.

Official Music Video:

A pet peeve of mine is when artists doing a music video where they don't perform/sing the song and it acts like a short film. I don't know why I just dislike such music videos. They only started singing like last 15-20 secs of the song.

Edit: The original link I have posted was removed by them due to a mistake. So included the new link.

 

[spook's]

This Revamp is better than the Original. This is such a bop! 12

I have a feeling that will NQ once again.

Pretty sure it will, although I really like the song and from a neutral point of view it’s pretty decent, very radio friendly and a type of music that appeals to masses. I‘m sure 90% Europeans would not skip radio channel if this was on but the problem is, songs like this have to walk along rocky roads to have a chance. It’s simply not outstanding enough although it’s suited for Eurovision. Even I myself can’t see voting for it though it’s in my top 10 and I‘m playing the song daily. Plus the CR has little diaspora or neighbour votes, so I guess it will stick in the semi.

One of the best music vids this year, I really like it. And the new version helps a lot too. All comes down to the running order and performance, but it can qualify as a borderline qualifier with a bit of luck!

 

[Rob]

So which 10 songs should be better than cz that cz won't qualify?

The issue is that with something 'just alright' or 'just good but not very good' may not do it. And there's a risk of a really bad live performance here on top of it.

do not start from any guaranteed points unlike some other countries like for example that will always get 12/24 from or like some other 'block countries' swapping points each year to a various degree but always rewarding some to themselves regardless whether the entry is worthy od not.

 

[jatojo]

I'm not a fan of the change in the chorus (the "peripheral" part has been shortened), but it's still a nice song.

 

[Rob]

I would vote for it 20 times

 

[Looren]

Lol what the hell is this music video, I love it

 

[DanielLuis]

Really hope homegirl gets her vocals straight for May cause I really need this in the final.

 

[Bmbriga]

Love this song, and I think it will be good live, too. The Romanian NF sounded to me like she drank a bit too much backstage. It happens. I don't judge

 

[I bims]

Oh no, why is that video giving me such an "Anti-Vax" vibe?

 

[krivac]

Amazing banger

Ok, then i guess Czech Rep should quit Eurovision again, as she will never have any diaspora or neighbour voting. So, why bother, right?

But, on a more serious note: We did not have a diaspora with Mikolas Josef or Lake Malawi and we still did qualify. NQs can always happen, but looking at the songs in Semi 2, i do not consider the chances of "We are Domi'" that grim...

It always depends on the actual performance and staging. It that "hits", I am certain it will Q.

The more I'm listening to it, the more it bores me. I'm downgrading it to 3.
