I just love how Aiko basically wrote a song about dumping a dude who treated her poorly, took it all the way to Eurovision, got to perform it in front of tens of millions of people, nearly beat the odds (just 5 points away from the final) & seemingly bagged herself a hot new girlfriend on top of it all. She may not have won in Eurovision, but Aiko has won in life. Kudos to her.
i think all slavic nations are in first semi final (Croatia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Serbia, Poland) and they didn't let us vote for the second semi-final for Czechia. So shame for great song.
Definitely, it was my favorite this semifinal, along with Austria, but that did get through. They're both 90's styled, only in different genres. Latvia was the worst qualifying out of the 10, Estonia and Netherlands were a joke - exchange them for Czech Republic and San Marino any day!
Just wanted to mention that I was in the Eurovision Village in Malmö, and this song made all the audience stand up (until then most of them had been sitting on the grass). I think she deserved better.
czechia please be proud of her! she did not deserve the result she got whatsoever and the improvement she made was monumental and im so proud of you aiko and you should be too 🫶🫶
Just found out that Aiko came 11th in the semi. It's so bitter because she works so hard on herself. But I'm thankful for finding an artist, her other songs are absolutely something to check out.
"White Flag" is incredible! I really love "Hunger" and "Funeral". Aiko was my 6th most played artist on Spotify this year. I am so grateful that I discovered a new artist that I will follow for years.
To be honest, this song is trash. Same as the whole competition and most other songs in it. It became way too comercial over the years and lost all multiculturalism and variety. Every song is like out of a copy machine. Same. Boring. Why would a Czech girl sing in English for Christ’s sake??? How is the song connected to Czech culture at all? What does it say about us? (Yes, I am Czech.) Nothing! I’m really embarrassed about this and bitterly disappointed that we didn’t manage to pull off anything better and more original. A song that would make us proud even if we didn’t make it through. Instead, we’re just licking asses, as ever. It’s a shame, really, because we have some excellent musicians…SMH

Czechia surprisingly slayed!! The staging really lifted the song. I'm so proud to be Czech. Please let her qualify, she was absolutely stunning!!!!🇨🇿♥♥ Vote 5♥
Aiko is soo good! I was so glad that she performed so well on stage such a difficult song. One of my top favourites this year for sure. Full of charisma, full of power, full of live. Great stuff!! Very unfortunately finished 11th in the second semi final with 38 points, only 5 behind my other favourite Norway. 28th place overall.

The whole show and her charisma are so amazing. I'm absolutely shocked and disappointed she's not going to the final :( So robbed, one on my fav performances this evening!
I can't fathom how Eurovision robbed the Czech Republic of the final, how is it possible that this song didn't go further, this was my one of the best songs at Eurovision 2024, I kept my fingers crossed for Aiko from the moment she released this song, I feel unsatisfied because of what happened, Aiko you gave 100%❤ of yourself, a bit of a shame, keep it up brother Ahoy from Poland 🇵🇱❤️🇨🇿
YES AIKO YES, YOU JUST SHOWED A BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO ALL THE HATERS, YOU SLAYED SO HARD, WHERE IS MY WIG????? I DON T CARE, ME AND MY BALD HEAD WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE FINAL
She has improved her voice and performance so much. She deserves to be in the finals. But this remembers me of Brook - That's rich a few years ago. Also a perfect well written song, but wasn't classified either.
How? How has this banger of a song not made it to the final?? Unbelievable, the best song by far!
So sad, she was great
RIGHT!!BUT LATVIA MADE IT?
Latvia qualified instead. 😢
A lot of good and creative songs didn't made it to final :( San marino, italy, malta and etc. They've been so creative and didn't made it

I was gutted as well. Unfortunately most of the people that vote for the Eurovision, just don't have any sense of musical taste.
Because she botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
So much better than half of the qualifiers.
