They found Blanka’s former performance on TVN. Prokop: “It will go far”, Internet users have a different opinion

By the decision of the jury and the audience, Blanka Stajkow became the Eurovision representative of Poland and will perform in Liverpool. Although the audience’s favorite was Jann with the song “Gladiator”, the jury awarded her the maximum number of points, which guaranteed the singer a promotion. The lack of transparent voting results, which were made public with a delay at the request of the media, and indications of violation of the rules of the competition meant that the artist faced numerous criticisms. Until now, only the proposal submitted for Eurovision was evaluated, but now one of the old performances is being sharply commented on, where Blanka presented another song from her own repertoire.

AVANTI24 OFFERS:

Not only Eurovision

Although the 23-year-old singer wrote her first song when she was 13, she signed a contract with the label – the Polish branch of Warner Music only last year. However, it has been gaining popularity in recent months. “Solo” – a single released in autumn, thanks to which she also won the Eurovision pre-selections, gained over 12 million views on YouTube. Previously, she also had the opportunity to perform it during the New Year’s Eve of Marzeń TVP and in the You Can Dance – New Generation program. However, Blanka has several other compositions on her account – she presented one of her original songs in the Dzien Dobry TVN program when she was still taking her first steps in the industry. Internet users found an archival recording and do not spare words of criticism.

Host: “Creative girl”

In the popular breakfast show, the then teenage singer performed the song “Finally” at the end. The performance was preceded by a discussion devoted to the issue of pacifier withdrawal in children. In reference, one of the hosts announced the debut artist’s performance.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, no longer a child, but a teenager whose goal is to conquer the United States and beyond. For now, it will conquer our program. Her name is Blanka Stajkov. You probably remember her from some specific wishes she made to her mother a few years ago, so a creative girl will go far.

– said Marcin Prokop. The words turned out to be somewhat prophetic – Blanka has performed on great stages, participated in Smolasty’s music video, and finally – won the Polish Eurovision preselection. Internet users, however, do not share the enthusiasm of the presenter. They compare the stage presence and performance of the song to teenage sitcoms. They also suggest playback.

I feel like I’m watching a show on Disney Channel

Want to conquer the United States? So far, in the US, they laugh at her

I don’t even want to imagine how it would sound live without playback

She has a completely different voice here.

– write TikTok users.

Blanka will perform in Liverpool during the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place on May 11, 2023. If she scores enough points, she will have a chance to sing in the final. It was scheduled for May 13.
