Despite many preparations, a lot can happen during televised events. We check out the most important New Year’s Eve blunders and scandals that took place on TV. Some stars have something to be ashamed of.
Luis Fonsi on TVP. Two songs for half a million zlotys
During New Year’s Eve in 2018, Luis Fonsi was supposed to be the star of the New Year’s Eve party. The performer of the hit “Despacito” received almost half a million zlotys for the performance. There wouldn’t be much controversy about it, because when you bring a world-class star to Poland, you have to take into account a lot of expenses, if it weren’t for the fact that the artist sang only two songs. Both came from playback.
Brawl behind the scenes. There were fistfights between the band members
On the night from 2019 to 2020, a fight broke out between members of the band Piękni i Młodzi. Dawid and Magdalena Narożni broke up a few months before the event, and the flashpoint was allegedly the issue of having a common child. As a result, fights broke out, and the former’s current partners also took part in the brawl.
Extras pretending to be the audience. What was New Year’s Eve like during the pandemic?
In 2020, TVP organized a New Year’s Eve party and hired… extras as the audience. People were supposed to pretend that the audience was having a great time, but after some time it turned out that the extras were not treated well. Doubts were also raised by the fact that so many people were gathered in one place during the ongoing pandemic.
Black Eyed Peas performed with rainbow armbands. TVP had no idea about the team’s plans
Mel C was supposed to perform on TVP on New Year’s Eve in 2022, but the singer has been supporting LGBT people for years and refused to participate in the event. The station authorities quickly found a replacement, but they certainly did not expect that the Black Eyed Peas members would appear on stage with rainbow armbands. The group’s performance sparked a lot of discussion in the media.
Polsat announced Andrea Bocelli. Instead,… Czadoman appeared on stage

What was the audience’s disappointment when… Czadoman appeared alongside Małgorzata Walewska in the song “Time to say goodbye”.
