Slavica is not Cleo style :( Horrible performance

It's just great. Donatan shows once more that he doesn't care about Polish music taste and creates his own music. Frankly speaking, he got me with it. Such a refreshing person for Polish music industry....

Yes but this song is dreadful and it's in English and it has lost all the Polish elements. I mean it has lost what makes you xbow in "My Slowianie"

^ It's called a diversity - as you problably know, he has already said few times that on his album with Cleo there will be everything, "from hip hop, folk to tango" (but no disco polo, like he said on fb). There is folkish "My Słowianie" and there is also AmericanStyle "Slavica".

And that's absolutely true - besides the lyrics My Słowianie =/= Slavica. Like both. Same about "Cicha Woda".

I like 'Cicha Woda' a lot but 'Slavica' is just a new worse version of 'We are Slavs'. The lyrics being in English firstly destroy it all. These songs need native language. If I hadn't heard 'My Slowianie I maybe found it ok but knowing the first one I find it bad.

Donutan strictly said there will be no more songs like My Słowianie. It is time for another music genre now. And so it is. 3 different songs for now. Soon we'll get the 4th. If it has same horn thing at start as MySło has, will you say it's another paltry copy of it? Please... Still comparing 2 different songs just because they have similar lyrics....nvm then.

People here didn't said that it is the new version of We Are Slavs ? xshrug
I didn't said it by my own. But again Slavica isn't as good as My Slowianie was. So far all these 3 songs have something in common. The rapping. I am not fan of rapping at all but My Slowianie had these folk parts and it wasn't so rap. Cicha Woda was also not so rap and in Polish. This one doesn't remind anything from Poland and it could be from any country. This is my opinion.

But I honestly only compare them cause someone here had said that it is new version

Yesterday, I watched the Austrian "meet and greet" broadcasted on Eurovision.tv, Conchita said she loved the Polish entry and replied to a question about My Słowianie : "I'm not that much into boobs, but that video works" :D

Those guys are pretty famous here. Comedians who made their own parody of "My Słowianie" - "We gravediggers"

We gravediggers!

We gravediggers appear when nothing of you works anymore
When you don't shake what mama in the genes gave you.
This is the cold blood, this is our cementary guild.
We gravediggers know how to bury human bodies.
We know how to drop for coffin not to sway
This is the cold blood, this is our cementary guild.

We have what no one else
It's the black processed car
No one of you have a limousine like this one
And no one wants this car to transport you
Here in the solid "jesionce" (jesionka = kind of coffin made of ash/tree/) entombed
We are proud of its natural shape
There is nothing better than a wooden coffin
You gotta see it for yourself and then You will know
