For over three decades, she has been considered one of the most experienced voice emission specialists in Poland. She gained popularity thanks to the program “Idol”, in which she appeared as a juror for many years. She later appeared in this role many times in other popular formats, including: in “Must be the music. Only music” or “How they sing”.
Zapendowska recalls the production of “Idol”. Money made her participate in the program
A few years ago, the music critic withdrew from public life due to worsening health problems, especially the progressive loss of vision. However, from time to time he gives interviews, talking about the behind-the-scenes of working on television. Now she has agreed to another honest conversation, which was published in . She recalled the film, revealing how she received the offer to sit on the jury’s chair. – I worked at the Buffo theater, then at Roma, and they took me from there – she recalled, adding that she was not immediately interested in the offer and was hesitant to accept it at all. – I had doubts whether to agree. Polsat did not have the best reputation among me, but the financial aspect prevailed – she admitted honestly. During the first edition, however, she did not receive as much remuneration as many might think. Today he considers this amount a joke. – We earned terrible money in the first edition. I mean small, in joking terms. But since I needed the money anyway, she admitted.
An expert evaluates the winners of the program. She revealed who squandered the chance for success
Zapendowska is considered an extremely strict and critical person. He doesn’t spare blunt comments, even about big stars. When asked about the career development of “Idol” winners, she admitted that many missed the opportunity. One of such people is the finalist of the first edition, . – At the beginning, she wasn’t a clear favorite of any of us, but she had a great temperament, a young spark raging around the stage – she recalled the singer’s first performances. – Objectively, she was not a great success after the program. It was more of a series of bad decisions made at a young age and maybe a bit of bad luck. Definitely not that she was bland or not very talented – she said, adding that today Janosz is fulfilling herself artistically, and her new projects undoubtedly stand out from the crowd.
However, he proudly admires Krzysztof Zalewski. Although he disappeared from the industry for 15 years after winning the second edition of the program, he returned with a bang and today he is considered one of the most popular singers in Poland. The expert had already noticed its potential. – I could already see that she had character and talent – she said. However, he was young and needed to have some fun, so his career fell into the background. – I talked to him for a while the other day. I remember that he was just eighteen and he even drank a bit of vodka, but it didn’t stop him from performing or talking. (…) Even if he experimented with life and disappeared in the eyes of the public, he still learned and played with Hey. In recent years, he has fully demonstrated what we saw in him, she said with conviction. She also evaluates Monika Brodka in a similar way, as she made a stunning impression on her from the very beginning. – Sixteen-year-old Brodka had the devil in her eyes, an excellent woman – said Zapendowska.
