Blanka posted a statement on Instagram:
Since the pre-selection, I’ve been trying to cool down and face the situation. The victory gave me more sadness than joy. I am extremely sorry when I read disgusting lies (among others about relationships, plagiarism and, above all, ‘fixed’ voting).
In this way, it relates to to the matter of the text that appeared a few hours before the concert on the website belonging to Telewizja Polska and indicated it as the winner of the competition.
Blanka: Instead of enjoying this success, I have to face a wave of hate
I was a participant in a competition where the rules were the same for every artist. It was not me who set the rules, the composition of the jury, the voting system and the summing up of points. Entering the pre-selection as a debutante, I wanted to fight for the realization of my dream. It is participation in one of the biggest television projects and shows in the world – Eurovision. Instead of enjoying this success, I have to face a wave of hate and an unimaginable storm. What’s worse, gossip is spread, under the guise of expressing an opinion, also by public figures.
The 23-year-old singer from Bulgaria, apart from the music industry, was also associated with beauty contests and modeling. Her single, “Solo” was recognized as the best by the jury led by Edyta Górniak (12 points), and Blanka received 10 points from the viewers, taking second place. In their opinion, Jann with the song “Gladiator” should win.
I am wholeheartedly with the other participants. A beautiful moment of enjoying the success that I worked hard for was taken away from me. I have a lot of work ahead of me. After returning from Finland, where I recorded another single – I am preparing with full commitment for Eurovision, so as not to disappoint you. I know the pressure and the importance of representing your country. I will not give up! Not only that: I promise to do my best!!! I want to wholeheartedly thank everyone who supports me. It means a lot to me.
The semi-finals and then the final of the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Liverpool this year. The UK is organizing the event on behalf of war-torn Ukraine.
