Eurovision is a closed topic for Edyta Górniak. Reaction to hate speech: “I lost trust in everyone”

In a recent post published by the singer on Instagram, there was a surprising declaration. Edyta Górniak, who is responsible for Poland’s best Eurovision result in history, and partly for the result of this year’s preselection, announces that she will withdraw from the competition. This is the effect of numerous words of criticism that it heard due to the controversial course of the national qualifiers.

The Polish pre-selection for the 67th Eurovision Song Contest aroused considerable controversy due to the unclear course of voting and the disclosure of the exact distribution of votes of the viewers and jurors with a few days delay. Fans of the event are of the opinion that the Polish representative was selected in a manner contrary to the regulations. She was accused of, among other things: Edyta Górniak, who sat on the jury. The scale of critical news made him want to cut himself off from the competition.

Fixed score or honest ratings? Eurovision fans are divided

On February 26, 2023, we met the winner of the pre-selection “Here beats the heart of Europe – we choose a hit for Eurovision” – Blanka. The jury awarded the song “Solo” performed by her the maximum number of points – 12, while in the viewers’ vote she took 2nd place. The clear favorite was Jann with the song “Gladiator”, for which viewers gave more than half of the 35,000. cast votes, however, the jurors’ assessments placed him in 4th place – he received 7 points.

Such a low score deprived him of the opportunity to go to Liverpool, so the Eurovision media began to demand transparency of the results and a closer look at the pre-selections, which, according to the authors of the petition addressed to the president of TVP, Mateusz Matyszkowicz, were carried out in a non-regulatory manner. The jurors were also criticized, but it was not always constructive criticism. On the official Instagram profile in the form of Stories, Edyta Górniak talked about the wave of hate she encountered. In her opinion, this is the result not only of the “anti-Christ’s actions”, but also of the low self-esteem of the young people attacking her.

I didn’t know who the audience’s favorite was, I didn’t want to suggest anything, I didn’t even want to hear the songs before, I wanted to have the first, clean, association. I’ve only heard excerpts from the rehearsals.

– claimed the singer in an interview with “Party”, denying that she suggested who is the favorite of the viewers, radio or label. – I am convinced that time will answer all doubts. I recommend not to take short cuts. Remember that even though I’m an influencer, I’m not the boss of bosses and I can’t do everything,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post. It also included a serious declaration.

“I feel like a shield”

In recent days, Edyta Górniak surprised the followers with a confession related to recent events. The scales of bitterness overflowed and the artist decided to cut herself off from the competition, most likely also in the coming years. It is worth noting that the singer not only sat on the jury selecting contemporary Polish representatives, but also in 1994 achieved the greatest success among all performers from our country trying their hand at Eurovision, taking 2nd place. Today, however, he wants nothing to do with her.

As for the Eurovision project, I have lost all trust. Even if the rules are changed and improved, I will never touch this topic again. I saw what happened last year, I also saw what people did when Rafał went. And now it’s the same again. I feel like a shield that someone borrowed and put in front of the door. The topic is closed for me.
