This is not ideal, but given the nature of the event itself it is not too bad, but most importantly, it proves how capable Justyna is vocally despite all the movements. I am in awe :love:

Just to set a few things straight, the whole "liquidation" situation surrounding TVP has nothing to do with actually liquidating TVP. I'd say it's more like cleaning up after PiS. The newly appointed staff continues to work and all channels are operating normally. Our president is supposedly a lawyer, although as a lawyer myself I must say that some of the stuff he says is just embarassing propaganda. Lately he's been constantly claiming that the changes in public media can only be done by the means of "ustawa" (which translates as a bill/act) and not "uchwała" (it's a legal act of lesser importance - it can't establish new laws and only has effect for public institutions - for example the Sejm's statute is passed this way every term). Outside of the fact that it's simply not true, his own party did the exact same thing a few times in the past 8 years and he had nothing to say about it then. I actually respected Duda. He's cunning and made me and a lot of people believe he's apolitical and only has the country's interests in mind. However, now he proved that he's just another PiS's puppet. All of his "smart lawyer" talk is meant to create an illusion that he knows the law and respects it, and sadly it seems to work on a lot of people who haven't studied the law. And PiS has always been suprised that the lawyers in our country have always been against them. Pathetic.

On the topic of eurovision though - I don't think there's any ground to believe that we'll withdraw. The act that Duda vetoed is not the actual budget - that was passed normally and the president doesn't even have the ability to veto it. The vetoed act was only an "ustawa okołobudżetowa" which google translates as "budget-related act". It included the spendings of the 5 billion euros we got from the EU as part of the Covid recovery fund. The government wanted to use it to fund the changes in the public media, but since it's technically not a budget act the president could veto it and so he did. Now the money will instead be used to cure cancer (the president is now happy lol). Now, it doesn't mean that TVP has no money to operate - it still has the same budget as last year, just without the additional funds. In my opinion, there's just no reason to suspect our withdrawall from ESC. Our staging will simply be as low-budget as before :cautious:

It would be sad to see Poland withdraw, especially if it’s due to an avoidable situation that Greece got help with in 2013…

I generally do not spend ANY of my money on Polish artists (because there is one Greek artist who owns it all :p:ROFLMAO:) but I agree. And Edyta and probably Dawid Podsiadło.

And don't worry y'all, TVP will still exist and do its job. As always.

I like the live version way more than the studio one. Not talking about bad sound mixing tho. She doesn't sound like a water hag/crone (if we're on Witcher analogies) having a seizure during culmination. The ending is awesome xfaint (it's hard to do this after such choreo).
Won't be my most fave song probably, but it will get 8 from me in the poll.

I hope politics won't intrude. I was a lil' bit shocked after reading dirty verbal ping pong from both sides on the subject. PiS(s) doesn't give a shit about the broadcaster now. Duda cut 3 billion zloty, he will do anything to sabotage Tusk. They already illegally block Polish-Ukrainian border together with far rights, killed 3 drivers, they can do the same against TVP. Send there armed thugs, for instance. I've seen so much crap from them in the recent months, that nothing will surprise me anymore.
I cheer for people in TVP music department who teamed up with our delegation and other broadcasters xlove They didn't deserve PiS(s).

Constitutional right to an irremovable PiS elected head of PBS, ha? Your President seems to be summoning for help the ghosts of famous unconstitutional abortion judges who are not even judges by decision of the CJEU as soon as they cross any Polish border (except those Eastern). 🤣

Full support for Tusk and justice for my ears that I don't have to listen another rigging-achieving winner of TVP's directors. Condor out.

It's pretty good, but it lacks a strong bridge, which is basically a must-have on eurovision these days. I hope the band will improve it before the preselections.

As for Witch-er Tarahoro, I think it would be a really good choice for eurovision. Considering all the latest trends at the contest, in general, alternative songs like that achieve strong results (fe Moldova 2022 and 2023, Serbia 2022 and 2023 etc.). People tend to enjoy "something different" and I fear that both "Short Period of Panic" and Mr. Narcissus' "Warrior" are a little bit too generic. I mean, they are both good songs in their own right and could potentially reach the final in Malmö, but I don't see them getting anywhere near the top 10. On the other hand, I actually believe that Witch-er Tarahoro can easily reach at least the left side of the table, unless it's an alternative-heavy final this year, which is quite unlikely.

Basically every random Eurovision YouTuber is now reacting to that Justyna performance like it's confirmed to be the Polish entry. The hype is insane :lol:

For me, the problem with Witch-er is that it only thinks it's alternative when it's not. It's like saying Spirit in the Sky was alternative when it was only a mid-pop song with folk elements. It was made for eurovision, which is what bothers me the most. And it sounds like it as well...
