Poland POLAND 2023 - Blanka - Solo

[ESC United Mod Team]

Came across this, which in turn triggered me to watch the music video of gladiatior, which I hadn't done before (I only watched the national final version), and gosh, still such a loss. Old news I know but damn.

Alexander Rybak stans Blanka

Sorry for tiktok.. i was browsing somewhere else, but it's best to share the original source.

Oh that's so sweet... and that "Kocham Cię Polsko"

This is how Blanka aka Bejba got inspired for her Turquoise Carpet outfit yesterday. It all started 2 years ago.

I can already hear in my head the audience chanting "BEJBA" before Blanka at the beginning of the performance.

Remember how SM 2015 began?

What's wrong with Rybak?

Pretty much everything.

What's wrong with Rybak?

I don’t know, I’ve been occasionally following him on IG for some years now and he looks always pale, thin, his face sunken, his hair always a bit ruffled. Looked as if he was sleep-deprived. It’s probably nothing, was just my first impression. Contrary to his victory and the first years after he looks unhealthy to me now.

Off topic but he posted on the social media a couple of years ago that he has been on anti-depressants for a long long time, he started taking them even before he competed at Eurovision and he has sleep issues because of his mental health. I think he posted it around the times of 2017 so I am not sure if it is still going on but yeah you are at least partially right

Bejba's qualification odds is now at 72% (up from yesterday's 70%). It's gaining momentum.

Bejba's qualification odds is now at 75%, same as Belgique.

Now I'm better solo, solo
I never let me down, didi-down-down-down

When I'm down, you can bring me up
Up-up-up-up, up-up-up, up-up-up

 

[Milos-BC]

Not a fan of the song itself but I will be happy for my friends once the qualification happens (and it will happen).

4 points.

You’re too generous LOL But it’s lovely to read such words!

Looks pretty good just from the stage. But I was watching the ESCUnited 1st dress rehearsal video just now. They said there are so much effects thrown for the entire performance when you watch it on screen. Sigh... Wonder if it's going to affect Bejba's qualification chances now. You just can't have faith in TVP with anything.

 

[lacrymea]

I'm sorry, but this looks even more laughable now than in the NF. God. Yeah, she's qualifying, I know. Doesn't make it any better though.

 

[blue00eyes]

I heard that Blanka doesn't like these effects either but she has nothing to say... ;;

 

[Genesis]

Apparently, duplicate Bejba effect during dance-break is gone

 

[CatTully]

Wow this is sad.

 

[A-lister]

Poland and Blanka should be so lucky that semi 2 is really weak and that there's no jury vote in the semi, I think this will qualify but will be rightly killed in the finals.

 

[crashworld]

YESH!! Can they also go ahead and proceed to remove the other cheap effects too? A respectable-looking performance could have just sealed the qualification deal for Poland.

Footage from Arena during the rehearsal.

I mean just by this alone, it's good enough. At this point, TVP is just trying to meme-fy the entire song, which is such a shame.
