Aiko to represent Czechia at Eurovision

The singer Aiko will be representing the Czech Republic in next year's Eurovision Song Contest, Czech Television announced on Wednesday. The singer beat fellow performers Elly, Gianna Lei, Tom Sean, Tomas Robin, Lenny, and the band MYDY in the competition to be the face of Czechia in Malmö, Sweden next May, in a vote decided by the public. The seven contenders presented their songs in a performance broadcast live from Prague's Roxy club last week. People then had seven days to vote for their favourite, either via the official Eurovision Song Contest app or Czech Television's website.
