I really love that song …it has such a great flair and is different from what we had so far. I just wish that the band would be live ons stage with the girls cause it gives another Dimension, but that probably isn't possible, one person too much …

The first time I heard it I just felt confusion. For people not used to this kind of Slavic folkish ethnic sound, its mixture with rock together with the shrilly vocals just feel so messy. But I didn't totally dislike it, the sort of nursery rhyme throughout the song was catchy and left some intrigue in my head.
That intrigue developed more into love than hate on the second listen. It's actually a very cute and enjoyable song, and Eurovision just doesn't feel quite the same without a song with ethnic sounds.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this was my reaction on the first listening:

And this was my reaction on the second listening:

It is risky and out there, but I'm afraid it's gonna fail. It seems like a lot of people had a similar experience to mine, it's just too jarring on the first listen and it needs a while to grow on you.

I like this one and I think it's one of those songs that sound better live.

I have absolutely no idea how this will do in the semi, but I for my part love this song very much. :D And no matter how it will end, I will enjoy the semi and am looking forward to their performance!

I was making my annual top you know before rehearsals with Mr. Gerbear's tool and then I just realized I had Poland at my number 5 and actually I REALLY like this song, I don't know if it's underrated or It's just my 5th favorite song this year but this kinda grunge-rock from the 90's sang out of tune by Polish Perfume with that strong melody. That's everything I like and more. That's the first year I would really be happy for Poland to do a Poland with the televote.

I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a top 10 placing in May. I feel like televoters will get closer to "raw" entries than polished/pitch-perfect one. 2019 could really be that year with a really weird top 10

edit : spelling

I also found this a bit annoying/??? at first listen, but it's grown on me quite a lot, I like the edge in the song, I like the melody, I like the uplifting feel as people have pointed out, I like how utterly Polish it is, whilst managing to be original. They're going in their own lane, doing their own thing, and that's super likable.

I expected more from Tulia, tbh, when I heard about them representing Poland, I was so deliriously happy. Tulia were my #1 when it comes to potential Eurovision artists but I expected them to go the "folklore" route instead of presenting a rock track. That said, it might be an advantage because there's basically no other rock entry in the competition. I'm just afraid that her singing style - which is called "white singing", btw, and is a very traditional way of singing in Poland and Ukraine - can be perceived as off-putting and annoying to most ears which are not used to it or haven't heard it before. - I seriously just want to see them qualify so badly! They deserve to be heard! - That's what Eurovision should have been for! Presenting something extra-ordinary and unique... presenting your own culture! - and Poland is clearling contributing some quality and diversity this year! It might not be their best entry but it just adds so much to this year's edition and deserves a shot!
I love the metaphors being used in the song and after a few spins, the song doesn't come across as off-putting aynmore. it's rather memorable and interesting!

The song is different and it stands out. Although I think it's not really a song that works on the first listening. But after a few replays, it's really nice :D I people in :.rs will love it.

I've known this song very well before it was announced to represent Poland in ESC, now I've just found out about this. :lol:

It's nice, probably will be among my favorites. A good stage performance will help it do well in ESC.

I'm thinking this will end up last place now.

Possibly even with 0 points, because really, who will vote for this? There's genuine talent and potential here, but it's wasted on a flat and totally inappropriate song. Some really poor choices were made here, don't understand what they were thinking at all.

Poland will get some points from televoting but juries will place bottom 3. This means Poland needs a great televoting to qualify and i think that the same applies to Hungury!

I know. Same here, but I thought it was a random song I was listening to :lol: and that the "true" song was still to be announced. Definitely among my favourite songs. xheart

I honestly don't understand why juries hate Poland so much. Burnaovskiye Babushki did quite well with juries in their semifinal (they were placed 8th) and even though they were amazing, the song was not something the juries would typically go for and their vocals were a bit off. Same applies to Salvador and Rybak last year. Then we have Poland - no matter what they send they are always placed very low. :confused:

Last year Poland had a terrible live so it wasn't a surprise that juries hated it!
