it debuted on the air in November 1993 and is still one of the most watched programs on Polish Television. Special editions add variety to regularly appearing episodes. Donald Tusk once took part in one of them.
Donald Tusk appeared in “Chance for Success”. What did he sing?
In 1996, Telewizja Polska organized a Christmas version of “Szansa na Głos”, in which the most popular Christmas carols were sung by famous personalities from the world of broadly understood show business. The jury members included: and Katarzyna Stankiewicz, who persistently supported all participants. It was then that Donald Tusk performed his musical show on TV. At that time, he served as vice-chairman of the Freedom Union.
At the beginning of the conversation with the host of the show, he admitted that he couldn’t sing, but at the same time he liked doing it very much. – Unfortunately, I have no reservations, I have no complexes, but others have reservations – he said, adding that he certainly couldn’t make money this way. – When I asked my mother why we didn’t sing Christmas carols, the only reason she gave was that I was trying to sing with everyone else – he said, causing laughter among the audience. Ultimately, the 39-year-old chose the Christmas carol “Wśród nocnej ciszy”. Although he seemed confident, his trembling voice betrayed his stress. When he finished singing, he summarized his performance briefly but clearly. – I think you will agree with me that you exaggerated the self-criticism of your singing, because a number of notes were in the right place – he said.
Internet users evaluate Tusk’s performance in the program. Everyone agrees on one thing
Some time ago, MP Paweł Kobyliński recalled the appearance in “Szansa na success” by publishing a recording on his Facebook profile. The entry was immediately flooded with comments from Internet users.
After hearing him sing, he certainly doesn’t lack courage
And he could have stuck to singing.
Many wonder whether, after all these years, the former prime minister regrets appearing in the program or whether this episode hindered his political career. It turns out that he takes it with a pinch of salt. In 2018, he even published a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter) before Christmas, referring to the mentioned episode. – I won’t sing anymore, I promise – he assured in the recording.
Internet users appreciated his self-distance and sense of humor. In numerous comments, they unanimously admitted that he was doing much better on the political scene than on the music scene.
It’s good that you stayed on the political scene rather than the music scene. This is clearly not your calling
In fact, you wouldn’t make any money singing this.
