It’s already certain – the 25th representative of Poland in the 67th Eurovision Song Contest was Blanka Stajkow. Her proposal “Solo” – gained over 10 million views on YouTube and was thus the most popular song among all submitted to the Polish pre-selection. However, not everyone agrees with the verdict of the jury and the audience. The artist receives numerous messages in which she is urged to give up her place to another performer.

Her single was a hit even before Eurovision. Fans of the competition do not see the potential
The 23-year-old singer from Bulgaria, apart from the music industry, was also associated with beauty contests and modeling. Her single, “Solo”, talks about the appearance of great love. – You have to be able to say enough. To understand that it is better for us … solo, because we will not disappoint ourselves – said Blanka about the song. She has a musical education and also took disco dance lessons. She created her first original compositions at the age of 13. Currently, she has signed a contract with Warner Music Poland and although she has already had the opportunity to perform on big stages, including during the last New Year’s Eve of Dreams TVP in Zakopane, a trip to Liverpool as part of the Eurovision semi-finals may turn out to be a breakthrough in her career. In the pre-selections, it took first place after counting the votes of the audience and the jury, but some Internet users are of the opinion that “Solo” will have less chance of winning than other proposals submitted to the international competition. Some suggest that the outcome was known in advance.
With all due respect, give the seat to Jann.
Show that you have honor, give this ticket to someone who deserves it.
You can go out with face and honor, girl, and give the statuette to the viewers’ choice. And you can go in denial without any support from listeners from your country during the competition in May, just like Mr. Brzozowski did not.
If you had any honor, you would give your seat to Jann, you know very well that he didn’t get points from the jury for his appearance and for what he is.
– these are just some of the comments Blanka receives under the last entry on Instagram.
Blanka and Jann took the floor. “This is my call”
The winner of the pre-selection in interviews, however, seems to be equally surprised by the final result.
I’m still in shock and I don’t believe it. The results also aroused great emotions in me, so no wonder. The first shock I got today was when I saw the jury vote. I didn’t know what was going on. As for the jury, I didn’t expect that at all.
– she said in an interview with “Plejada”. She also referred to the criticism received and the unexpected defeat of the current favorite. – In a way, critical comments are understandable to me. I believe that music should unite, not divide – she said and added that privately she is a fan of Jann’s work. The artist who was tipped to win also spoke during a live event organized on Instagram. On Sunday, he told the fans that although he thanks for the votes of support, his will is not to clip the wings of the other candidates, including the winner of the pre-selection.
I’m very proud of myself and I hope you enjoyed it too. I’m very grateful for the support but I don’t want to, supporting me was squeezing someone else and dragging someone down. Support Blanka. This is my appeal, please.
he said.
