Eurovision fans confused over Czech Republic act’s British accent
EUROVISION fans were left confused over the Czech Republic act’s British accent.
Viewers were gobsmacked they sang with an English twang, but couldn’t agree on if he sounded like he was from Essex, Manchester or London.
One joked: “By the time the gin and beer kicks in, these Eurovision songs will have grown on me. The Czech mockney London accent is my fave so far.”
Someone added: “Seriously why does the guy from Czech Republic have a Manchester accent? #Eurovision.”
Another said: “Why is the Czech bloke doing a sort-of Essex accent? Cute in a VERY obviously boy-band sub-Bel Ami way, I suppose, but much too young and clean-cut for this old queen. Are the others his brothers or his clones? 5/10.”
Someone else said: “Czech Republic was very funny, though. They can’t lose with that East End accent.”
A fan added: “Also back to the Czech band named after a lake in Malawi with a British accent?”
A confused viewer said: “Czech Republic with a southern accent? What went wrong? #Eurovision2019 #EUROVISION.”
Someone added: “Right how has an obviously Czech bloke managed to do a perfect Warrington accent??”
During the semi-finals on Tuesdays, BBC viewers were stunned at how much the lead singer of Lake Malawi looked like Joey Essex.
Performing energetic pop track Friend of a Friend, the “cute” singer rapped in his “cockney accent”.
Tweets poured in and one person raved: “Czech Republic I thought it was Joey Essex singing ha”
Another said: “Wow I didn’t know Joey Essex could sing?” as another fan asked the question: “@bbceurovision anyone seeing Joey Essex singing for #CZE”
And one more remarked: “What’s joey Essex doing on #Eurovision @bbceurovision”
