Re: POLAND 2014

Please no Donatan&Cleo!!! They will fail like Montenegro with Igranka, which by the way is like 10x better than My Słowianie. Popular on internet and YT, but it didn't bring much votes at semfinal night despite strong region presence. And we even can't count on that.
It DID bring a lot of votes, enough for 4th place in the semifinal. Just not enough for a certain tasteless bunch. But nvm, let's not start this discussion all over again lach

I would like Poland to send something fresh and original, not something generic that would do well. Donatan in ESC would be too good to be true, but it is the right direction!

Re: POLAND 2014

But juries are the part of this contest so we must include them in calculation for what's best for us, wheter we like it or not...

EDIT: Plus are you 100% sure Cleo would hold on vocally during 2 weeks or rehearsals (not to mention preparations)? Of course they would do "show" (aka circus which Polish public detest) on stage and as we know "death by staging" is no stranger to our delegation.

This! Ingranka WAS popular with the public! A top. 5 is hardly a bad thing!

It was the juries lame fault... however, I don't think EBU want to risk Poland withdrawing AGAIN (and maybe for good) and also there's more comeback in stakes for 2015 (in particular Czech Rep. and Slovakia) if Poland would be somewhat successful... and EBU is aware of what's on stake here, so I actually think Poland could "get away" with not playing it too safe.

Re: POLAND 2014

I'm not sure about this, you can't force juries to vote for something (unless you bribe them maybe, that's not our case). And "My Słowianie" is not a song of higher aspirations (musically and lyrically). I know what you want A-lister, a song in Polish with ethnic elements. I'd love it too, but in better style :p I'm just sick when my country sends a song like this. Sure we can afford something ethnic but with much better quality.

btw.
Jacek Rakowiecki, rzecznik prasowy TVP, tłumaczy Wirtualnemedia.pl, że o powrocie Telewizji Polskiej do udziału w konkursie zdecydował fakt, iż udało się wynegocjować niższe koszta uczestnictwa w nim.

Jacek Rakowiecki, TVP spokesman explained to wirtualnemedia.pl that decision on TVP return was based on fact that they maneged to negotiate lower participation fee.

Re: POLAND 2014

Wouldn't it be awesome **dreaming now** if Edyta Gorniak got internally selected, entered a fantastic song and then 20 years after they debuted (and she represented!) they go one better and win.

Yeah, dreaming! Awesome dream though.

It would be nice, but I guess she will be too busy being a coach again in the 4th edition of The Voice of Poland.
But anyway, I'm sooooo happy today!xheya

I certainly hope the juries don't give Poland points just to keep them in the contest.

Evija is also right, juries are half the score, forgetting they exist when making the song isn't a good idea. To do well you must please them.

Re: POLAND 2014

Best news in a while! I could even live with :bg: missing out the contest if both :pl: & :pt: are present. :)

Hey xrunhug Don't say that, Bulgaria is also a tough loss for Eurovision. You have unique entries! Plus one of my all favourite songs is Na Inat. Having an entry from Bulgaria less in the contest is also very sad. But of course I'm happy we're back, that Portugal is back and BiH too, my dreams would came true if only not Croatia and Serbia withdrawn....

Re: POLAND 2014

Enej xheart I'd love something like this, my favourite song of this band:
Enej - Symetryczno-Liryczna (Official video) - YouTube

And BTW, come on Polish people, let's talk also in Polish in the "Napierdalamy po polsku" thread in the Language section. It's sooo empty :(

I think I love "My Słowiane" because it reminds me in a certain way to our only succesful turbo-folk song here, in Perú: Tusuy Kusun.
Also, our singer appearance (Damaris) reminds me to Cleo.

I'm very happy for Poland's comeback. I think that it's time for a good return and I hope that they'll follow the way how Edyta started.

Re: POLAND 2014

I think if Poland plays their cards right they will get the same result Austria got on their return. Although that probably means getting a type of song that A-Lister hates cause the jury ain't voting for anything like a "Legenda" :lol:. But if we are lucky a "Jestem" (very underrated :() type song will be enough. So now watch them send a song like "For Life" :lol:

They certainly won't get the boost Italy got on their return but maybe their Eastern neighbors (who never really voted for them in the first place) will welcome them back with a tiny lift up :).

I can't see the EBU letting them fail in the semi after they pretty much begged for them to return.

Re: POLAND 2014

My Slowianie REALLY grew on me so much the last couple of days! I want them to go & win, it'd be SO epic!
