Re: POLAND 2018
Yes, they are. But as I can see they were fans favourite and received very good reviews. Only Isabell Otrebus was more popular in those unofficial rankings I checked.
That's why I said what I said. I can already see some sad comments about their absense. Like this one above.
I mean, fine. I get that there are few hundred people in Poland who are now sad cause it's the first time they checked our selection beforehand, watched these videos of who applied (most viewed one got what, 5k views?). And they got mad cause out of the horrible songs they've seen there, they made their opinion that Isabel is best, and these guys are 2nd.
The rest doesn't care, though. USoE are totally unknown here. In my opinion, 'Faces' they wrote was cool, but these new two songs were bland and would go nowhere on the Eurovision stage. I have nothing against them trying next year but with something much better and with 1 song, not 5, neither 3 nor 2. Write one good song and send it in, that's how it works. If you can't pick your best song, which would suit Eurovision the most, what's the point of giving you a try. Make up your mind first.
And these comments on their absence.. the number is not gonna even cross the line of what, 100 negative comments? 200? Such a small group of fans don't change a thing. And based on 10-20 sad comments I don't think that's a bad pick of our top 10. It's just unreasonable for me to let them perform in front of 3mln Poles cause, otherwise, 50 peope will cry on facebook and twitter (most of these are friends and family, I'm pretty sure of it).
I believe Orzech was part of the picking team last year and since he's the only one with knowledge about the contest, they asked him to do this again this year as well. Based on the 3 songs we know so far and 3-4 known names, this year is already better than the previous one when we just had 2 good songs. For example, instead of having some random three dudes pretending to be Il Volo, we got our own Aminata who could steal the evening with the right show.
And yeah, the pink one just won the voice. She's winning this. With that sh*t of a song.
