POLAND 2011 - Magdalena Tul - Jestem

[aletem]

And I am happy as well!! The Polish version is much, much stronger. And being #1 I think should put Poland in the final.

I hadn't realised there had been a chance of an english version. I'm really happy she stuck with the Polish version as its one of my favourite songs this year. I'm concerned about her getting out of the semi-final and I certainly wouldn't have picked draw 1 but I really hope this makes the final and gets a good draw.
I like 5 or so of this years songs a lot and this is one of them . Just a couple of days ago I woke up with Jestem playing in my head.

Magda soon will present NEW English version, but it will be only for promotion...

 

[adnar]

^ Indeed, it will be presented on monday. The possible title will be "Present" and she will record it to the background of "Jestem".

I really don't understand why this got so many points in the ranking competition. Very average

 

[adnar]

Well...it's maybe because our song stands out comparing to other crap chosen But seriously, the song itself is not a bomb, but Magda gives a very good performance to it (if you saw a performance from the final, you may think that Magda or her backings are out of tune, but our national final was full of technical mistakes - Magda heard nothing while she was performing after winning, so she was out of tune, and during the performance - backing vocals were too loud and also couldn't hear everything). It would be all spot on during the semi final in Duesseldorf.

That puts a different perspective on it. I do think it will make the final just don't see it finishing top 10

I like this song! OK, the rhythm reminds a bit of Albanian song last year but it is still good! I really really appreciate the fact they sing in Polish...hehe I can even understand some lyrics, but just a bit...my opinion is that with a good coreography and performance, they are in final for sure! And then....everything is possible. Go Poland and good luck!

 

[adnar]

English version is still postponed - I wonder if she will publish it this week or next, but it should be ready soon.

Very good song, rythm is fantastic, Magdalena is beautiful and has a strong voice. Much better the Polish version, a good ideea to keep it for the Show. Poland has a big chance for the top5, success!

 

[Mark-ESC14]

Hmm, I just found out something funny. As everyone knows, Jestem is the title of the song, meaning 'I am', But in dutch you can also have the construction 'Je stem' (So the same, but then lose), which means 'your voice'.

 

[bednar1990]

And here it is

but it's only for promotion.... 'I'm your inspiration'. English lyrics almost completely reflects Polish version

 

[adnar]

Prefer Polish version of course, but this one is ok Lyrics in English match music so it's great
