Poland POLAND 2016 - Michał Szpak - Colour of Your Life

[tuorem]

There is no thrill... The beginning is like: "hey, I have a secret to tell you"... It's intriguing. You don't know if the song is going to go all techno, disco or just slow... It makes my hope rise!!!
Then it all falls flat... :? Because there is nothing happening in the refrain... nothing that can match the promise of the beginning... Well, that's how I feel. But I'm only one little person in the whole world...haha...

Personally, I agree with you, the beginning is the best part of the song, it builds up quite nicely.
I'm ok with the chorus though, it's not amazing to me, but it does the job. However, past the first chorus, I completely stop paying attention to the rest as it's basically copy and paste to my ears, I wished they would have created a more interesting bridge and a stronger/modified last chorus. As it is, it drags on too much to me, even if it's only 3 minutes. :?

Objectively, I think the song (minus the singer and performance) would have probably worked in ESC at first listen. But personally, the more I listen to it, the more the two-thirds of the song bore me xshifty

[MENTION=9195]tuorem[/MENTION] I thought you never listen to the Eurovision songs until the semifinals. What happened? Were you too curious this time?

No I listened to the song as soon as we knew it lost to "Colour Of Your Life" (which I don't know anything about) because people were so upset I had to give it a listen asap My integrity is still kept intact

edit: I only heard the French entry (exception made for my country) and the Italian one since I wanted to follow San Remo this year.

You just made me check if I am writing in the right thread. Well, our previous little conversation with [MENTION=4633]Dessi[/MENTION] was about Color Of Your Life and you said that you agree with Dessi´s argumentation against it, so that´s why I was surprised. So, you were actually talking about Margaret´s song, I deduce.

My bad don't mind me then I probably got carried away at some point sorry [MENTION=4633]Dessi[/MENTION]

We are 2nd in wiwibloggs poll, right after Croatia. Interesting.

Eurovision Top 50 Music Chart based on official ESC's YouTube channel views

Michał Szpak has continued to be most watched eurovision artist this week. Australian entry is too close to 1st place but has stayed on the 2nd.

We are 2nd in wiwibloggs poll, right after Croatia. Interesting.

Unfortunately I don't really think the Wiwibloggs polls are all that trustworthy. They tend to get brigaded by country-based groups, or artist fanpages, pretty often. I know last year Nina Sublatti spam-linked the poll every few days on her FB page telling her fans to vote, so all the Wiwi polls were won by Georgia every single week by a huge margin, and the comments were filled with 'GEORGIA NUMBER ONE BEST FOR WIN'. There are usually a few countries doing it every week - and you can tell when they do and when they don't, because recently Bosnia & Herzegovina suddenly fell from #1 to #25 or something when their fan page didn't bother to link the week's poll. I'm assuming the same thing is going on here with Poland... I don't deny that a bunch of people out there are big fans of the song, but it seems very unlikely that it's suddenly gotten that popular.

Better predictors are probably the odds, the polls on here and the other forum, and things like the ESCStats/ESCNation polls.

Well, it was a little bit sarcastic, I know that this poll is fake, you can read in comments for example "Poles you cheat", "Don't vote for your county" etc. It only shows that Michał has a huge fanbase that helped him win our NF. These people can't really help him in ESC since you can't vote for your own country.
But it's nice to see my country overrated for once, I doubt we can enter TOP3 in the real contest. I think top10 is possible, but it depends on jury votes and I can't see them giving us high points.

 

[CaspianMortis]

This is something between meh and unlistenable, but not on a San Marino scale.

 

[carl1]

The more I listen to this, the more I think this could do really well in Stockholm, like top 10..

 

[simonPL]

It is not that hard to manipulate a poll if there is only 1400 votes needed to be 2nd. When, I mean manipulate, cuz it's obvious that his fandom is really crazy to put him on the top of the many possible polls and charts. In those where they cannot do it, Poland has always a place around 15-20. It would be nice if Poland ends in top10, but we'll see.

Thanks to NF, his album finally debuted at Official Polish Album Chart and this week it is on #17 place. Anyway, the song is still out of our Top100 Airplay Chart. Speaking of charts and airplay - Edyta Górniak's "Grateful" is also out of Top100, "Cool Me Down" is doing very well - this week it is on #5 and it became her the most popular single in here (+ Cool Me Down is also on #234 position in Russian Airplay) and Natalia Szroeder's "Lustra" is now on #19 which is also a really good result.

My poor country :/
I voted for Edyta, beacuse Margaret has weak vocals, but now I see that Natalia Szroeder was actually the best.
Michał's song is boring, dated and I can't stand a thing that Poles really think that he can win. After not quallifying everyone will say that Poland was robbed. Ehem we just send shitty songs :/

 

[simonPL]

I think we will qualify. It would be a big surprise if we fail. Even if this is the worst song of Poland from last 3 years (IMO) - I need to be honest: his vocal defends itself, so we should be on the final.

It was so middle on the road choice, not the best song nor the best singer, even in the ranking game we are in the middle. But don't blame Poles, they just don't watch ESC so they still think it's a circus stucked in 00's.

I am sure we'll qualify, Michał saves this song with his vocals.

 

[xyqv]

We are in second semi final so we have bigger chance, but as you say blue00eyes Poles think Eurovision stucked in 00's

 

[zs1001]

I did not follow polish NF just the result but I know Margaret's song - WINNER ALERT. Unfortunately she was very weak live, but the winner - Michal- can produce excellent live performance with a boring song. Was not there any other competitor with great song and live? I am so sad...
By the way "Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki / I do szabli, i do szklanki..." Polish girls and guys know what I wrote (rest of them google translator suggested ) You are our only friends in Europe we are waiting for your points in order to support Freddie in the final. Good luck for Michal!

 

[simonPL]

You are our only friends in Europe we are waiting for your points in order to support Freddie in the final.

I don't know all the songs but Frieddie's one is good from the first listening, so I am pretty sure you will be on very high position in the final.
