EUROVISION 2018 PREVIEW

24.

CZECH REPUBLIC

LIE TO ME

Mikolas Josef

The Czech Republic debuted at Eurovision in 2007 and has only managed to qualify for the Grand Final once, in 2016. Good looking singer Mikolas Josef will hope to improve his country's track record with his self-penned song "Lie To Me". He is currently based in Vienna, Austria. As well as working in the past as a model, Josef is also a producer and director of music videos.

The song has a fun vibe but it is nothing new or memorable. It is unlikely to progress further than Semi Final 1 and even less likely to secure the Czech Republic its first win.
