Monika Kuszyńska is hoping to give Poland its first ever Eurovision win. She sings a very emotional song with a beautiful message.. Check out our reviews below.
Did anyone expect this? It's not Doda after all, but Monika Kuszyńska... Here's the song she will take to Vienna!Through all my artistic efforts I try to link two worlds that up until recently seemed impossible to combine World of people with and without disabilities. Bridge of understanding between those two becomes stronger and stronger each year. I strongly believe that some day borders separating those worlds will disappear forever. This year Eurovision Song Contest motto is Building Bridges and it fits perfectly the idea I convey through my song. The contest's phrase also inspired me to write lyrics to In The Name Of Love. Because in the name of love we are able to overcome every barrier, aren't we?
Poland's song is going to be revealed on 9th March and many names are rumoured such as Sylwia Grzeszczak and Doda but we can now rule one name out for sure. Edyta Górniak. The first ever Polish representative sent a song into TVP which would have been perfect for Eurovision (according to her) however the broadcaster said they already have selected someone. This song will be included on Edyta's new album. And she doesn't rule out the possibility of flying the Polish flag in the future. One year she will be back!
Doda na Eurowizję (Doda for Eurovision) is a fanpage on Facebook and they managed to reach 10,000 likes the other day. This did not go unnoticed by the popular Polish singer because she posted a photograph from the page so could this mean she's considering participation? She has previously been referred to as The Polish Britney Spears. Regarding Poland's performance in Eurovision 2014, Doda said in an interview that she was really emotional when watching Cleo on stage. It's also worth mentioning that she won Dziennik-eurowizyjny's poll with 38.3% of the vote when they asked their readers to name their dream participant for Poland. This blogger feels she would be great for Eurovision. Since Donatan & Cleo achieved 14th, interest in Eurovision has grown significantly in Poland. Another fan favourite, Margaret, already said she wouldn't enter Eurovision this year because she doesn't feel ready and has other projects. Apparently Cleo is interested in representing her country again but not in 2015, it's too soon. An announcement from TVP is expected in early March. In the meantime, enjoy Doda's latest single here - it was released on New Year's Eve!
OGAE Poland’s official website, Eurowizja.org, launched a poll some weeks ago to see who Polish fans want to see represent their country in Vienna and Margaret won with 25,28% of the vote. Over 600 votes were cast. Sylwia Grzeszczak came 2nd place - wouldn't it be amazing if she did Eurovision? Here's the full results:
It has been revealed that the British (and Irish) public's favourite entry of Eurovision 2014 was Poland! The Polish performance was one of the most memorable this year, to say the least, and it the Brits loved it. However, because of the jury system (who ranked Poland last) the United Kingdom didn't actually award any points to Poland... is it right that five people have this much influence on the final result? It's sparked a lot of debate. Donatan & Cleo were the first Polish representatives to qualify since 2008 - they came 14th, with 62 points. Poland would have come 5th overall if there was no jury vote. The British commentator, Graham Norton, said this before the Polish performance:"If granddad has fallen asleep you might want to wake him. I've a feeling he will enjoy this."
Poland returned, after a two year break, and decided to select their representative internally. Donatan and Cleo were confirmed as the Polish representative on 20th February with the song My Słowianie - We Are Slavic. The song is a massive hit in Poland - and even peaked at #2 in the Polish Airplay Charts. The original version of this song has clocked over 40 million views. The video-clip itself has caused controversy. The BBC even published an article, as the music video mocks Slavic stereotypes.
Donatan & Cleo have been confirmed as the Polish representatives. It's no surprises as Donatan said they were in talks with TVP last week. And they've been asking their Facebook fans what language they sing in Polish or English.
Apparently the Polish entrant is going to be revealed tomorrow. Will it be Donatan and Cleo? Hopefully! They have been asking their fans on Facebook whether they should sing in Polish or English. Many people have said keep the Polish version :-)
Donatan has posted a photograph on this Facebook page where he said that talks have been underway with the Polish broadcaster regarding their participation in Eurovision.“We were invited by TVP to a mysterious meeting today and we we went. It seems you have written to TVP mass emails and letters asking (and asking) to send us to Eurovision. At the moment we do not know what to say … mixed feelings … I will sleep on it"
It appears the duo Donatan & Cleo with have been selected internally for Eurovision - according to sources close to TVP, the national Polish broadcaster. The song they take to Copenhagen would be Slavic Girls! It's brilliant! The English version was actually released this morning..
Edyta Górniak, Poland's most successful representative, is reportedly in talks with TVP regarding a return to the competition. Nothing is official yet, I must stress that, but I've heard the Polish broadcaster are interested in Edyta making a return.
