The national preselections for the 67th Eurovision Song Contest are behind us. Although the Eurovision media indicate that the results of the vote were initially not transparent, and several points of the internal regulations were broken when organizing the event, the decision made as a result of the combined votes of the jurors and viewers was ultimately upheld. 23-year-old Blanka Stajkow will go to Liverpool with the song “Solo”.

Popular even before Eurovision
“Solo” debuted in the fall of 2022 and quickly became popular on radio stations. The song was ranked fourth on the OLiA (Official Airplay Chart), a list prepared by the Association of Audio-Video Producers based on data on the domestic music industry. Blanka also promoted him during New Year’s Eve of Marzeń TVP, as well as in the program You Can Dance – New generation. At the time of submitting the song to the Eurovision preselection, it was the most popular of all the proposals, and finally won. Today, “Solo” has been listened to over 13 million times on YouTube. Most of the comments, however, are negative – both the fans of the competition and the bookmakers had a different favourite. Cleo stood up for the composition.
“Cool summer number”
Earlier, the vote on the results of the national eliminations was made by, among others, She will add in an interview conducted by “Świat Star”. The singer is of the opinion that Blanka’s song will not evoke strong enough emotions in the viewers to vote for it.
I think Jann should go because we have 3 minutes to make everyone in every country shiver. And everyone has different tastes, everyone likes different things, there are different nations, different habits. There is no arguing with tastes, but there is one thing that connects – emotions. If someone is watching and has shivers, there is only one reflex – voting.
she explained. A different opinion is expressed by the juror of “The Voice Kids” – Cleo, who also had the opportunity to represent the country at Eurovision in the past. She shares with Blanca label – Polish branch of Warner Music Poland.
I didn’t watch the screening. The song itself is a very nice summer number. We need such good energy in a world that is bombarded with sad information
– confessed Cleo in an interview for “Plejady”. Although she herself did not achieve satisfactory results (the song “My Słowianie” advanced to the final, but was in 14th place), she remembers participation in the competition well. “Eurovision is a school of life” – she told “Gossip”. Edyta Górniak’s 2nd place in 1994 remains Poland’s best result.
The semi-finals of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest will take place on May 9 and 11, 2023. Blanka will present herself in the second of them, and if she advances to the next stage, she will sing in the final on May 13.
