yess it's on the karaoke version


Very interesting. I wonder if it's an actual dance break or there is an extra verse included. Because what we have is the entire song with just the instrumentals. Seriously can't wait for the studio version for the ESC version.

However, it's very interesting the karaoke version for "Solo" has no backing vocals at all (except the beginning "ooh na na na" and some "eh" in the chorus), unlike some of the songs where there are backing vocals.

Why can't I listen to it? It looks like... blocked?

What´s the point of including a different version to the Karaoke version of the album?

The allegedly dance break is not part of the official studio version of today´s released compilation :(

I have spoken to Warner Music Poland, apparently, they wanted to keep the ESC version as a surprise and release it after the grand final. Just like what Chanel did last year when she gave a surprise ESC dancebreak edit. But Blanka, being such a kind bejba and does not want people to call her the second coming of Chanel, decided to do give her fans a Easter Egg surprise treat by putting the ESC Karaoke version on Spotify.

Okay, I've just listened to it and the mess from 1:53 to 2:14 makes it even worse... :rolleyes:

I am so ready for the ESC fandom meltdown when Bejba Kween Blanka qualifies to the Grand Final.

Please let this happen, Eurovision God. xpray

I actually am pretty confident by now that she will qualify and it’s hard to be mad about it. Whether one likes the Performer or not doesn’t matter in the ESC context, and Solo simply isn’t a song that requires good vocals, while at the same time it’s definitely a song to warrant some televote appeal.

So even though the bubble may in large part not be impressed by her or her entry, she still has everything else going for her. In the final, I think she might tank cause she‘ll have more competition in her „genre“, but qualification should be safe

Blanka is supposed to perform in Amsterdam's and London's pre-parties, but she has to skip them because she got sick and lost her voice.

There's no other way to respond. I mean it would be a problem for us if Ochman lost his voice or our butterchurner lost her stick or whatever but backing vocals can't get sick so Blanka's fine.
I think we can already relax until September. :p

Oh my God, I've just seen the best comment on "Solo" ever on youtube (why have I been there? :eek:):

Piosenka, której boi się Szatan.

Translation: A song that the Satan is scared of.

:ROFLMAO:

The official rules say that pre recorded backing vocals aren't allowed to assist the lead vocal in any way

I thought since Covid happened it was allowed?

But yeah, in any way it feels completely off and unfair. I‘m afraid there will be more and more changes the next years and we will not like some of them…
