EUROVISION 2014 - COPENHAGEN - DENMARK

SECHUK JURY 2014 - THE JURY REVIEW FOR POLAND

2 Juries - one UK and one International, will comment on and rate the songs of ESC 2014 as they are chosen.

The idea is that the songs will be voted on first impresssions, as most TV viewers will do in May.

The main difference of course is that in May they will be subject to the same production standards and opportunties, something that differs at National Selection stage.

Interesting return for Poland . I mean, I kind of like it! It's different and fun... for the first minute or two. I can see Eastern Europe appreciating the elements in this entry, but I just can't see it having a huge effect throughout Europe and the leader board in May.

Axel

Well, what can I say? Not my cup of tea not at all. I am really untouched by this

Benedek

This song is going nowhere. Rap is always a bad option. I'm so sorry for Poland its one of my favorite countries but this song will stay in the semi final. It lacks of everything.

Douwe

Poland  mark their return to the contest with a very catchy and rhythmic song with hip-hop and folk elements. Exactly 20 years ago since their debut when they took the 2nd place in Dublin . I don't think this is a winner for them but a lot of fun and a place in the final should be within their reach.

Elias

Brave choice but if the stage presentation is not exceptional and unique it will leed to a flop.

José

Very original song with a slavic style, a happy return to Poland . Personally it's not the kind of music that I like, but I'm sure Macedonia , Slovenia , Romania will vote it in their semifinal, perhaps the return of Poland to the final.

Mark

I think this is a really good song and possibly my favourite so far. Still don’t think we have heard the winner yet though.

Melissa

Welcome back Poland ! After a wait of a few years, they've done well to rock up with a track that straddles the very complimentary pairing of hip-hop and ethnic folk (?) The argument over whether it's a parody aside, this is an entry with a killer hook, and I for one am very keen to see how it will be staged in Copenhagen .

Octavio

The Polish version is much better than English version.The girl is good looking and charismatic and keep Donatan off the stage and let her rock the song with slavic dancers. So catchy, funky and modern. Completely original, sense of humour, great style, ethnic influences and it actually reflects what's in the chance.

Paul C

A very unusual entry for Poland . A mixture of ethnic and modern music, I like it. It is fresh, makes you want to move. I don't know how will it be received by the Eurovision viewers but I really hope to see Poland in the Grand Final.

Pia

hm hm , Not so bad , I don´t like the national costumes ( it shouldn´t have anything to do with the song, but in these days everything counts ....) A little bit different (that´s good ) And a rythm that gives points from me ....hm hm hm 8 or 9? 9 It is !

Trying to blend ethnic sounds with contemporary rhythms is surely a sign of originality, but the result cannot be always appreciable. A weak song, so repetitive, that becomes boring and irritating. I'm not impressed, honestly.

Roy

Happy they are back, I missed them. Their song again shows some elements of Polish music and the dance routines are nice and colourful but not really impressed witht he vocals of the female, too high pithcing for my liking.

Samantha       

It's a shame that so many Slavic countries are skipping 2014! That being said, this is cheeky, audacious fun, and I think a bilingual arrangement would be the best way to go (final chorus in English, maybe?). I worry that this might pull an "Igranka", though...let's hope juries are more forgiving this year towards something innovative.

Poland has only made the Top 10 once since their great first entry and has only qualified for the final twice in eight years.  There's a reason for that... they send awful songs and this year is no exception. Marginally better than Belarus but that's not really an achievement.

Brian

Wow welcome back Poland . this is certainly an infectious song that really motors along. Would like to see this in the final but it will be interseting to see how it comes across live. I'm sure this one will get the audience behind it

Danny

It’s a welcome return for Poland after a few years absence and they’ve picked a song which has almost FOURTY million views on YouTube, by far the biggest hit of the contest. It’s certainly different, and isn’t to everyones cup of tea, but it is going to stand out a mile on the Eurovision stage. The only problem I have is how it will convert to a live performance, but I think we could be seeing Poland ’s best result in Eurovision since 1994.

David A

I think this is young, cute and fresh and should appeal to the younger demographic of televoter. Whether the juries will like it I don't know, and how it will come across with only 6 on stage I'm not sure.  Overall I think this should do well from Poland

David B

A last - something worth shouting about! Love the handclapping and a tune with a bit of a harder edge. It's a joyous three minutes and while it probably has no chance of winning, let's thank Poland for rescuing us from a slightly dreary Eurovision line-up. I can't imagine the lovely Cleo droning on about cakes can you?

David E

Fast, frenetic, folksy and fun!  A fantastic return from Poland and with the right staging I think this is going to sail into the final and end up waaaaay up the left side of scoreboard. 

9

 

Dean

Is there a tune here? Not my thing at all but I think this is a qualifier. There's something fresh and immediate about it. Welcome back Poland .

Eddie

I like the beat, I like the style, I like the production. I don't like the shouting singing. It has a great contemporary sound but I just feel like it's missing something. The performance could be better.

5

 

Gary

Now this is what I mean by contemporary, although not aimed at me I’m sure! Excellent entry from Poland and one that I want to play over and over already. Not so keen on the unsubtle video for it, but I hope this goes far from them… Go Poland !

Matt

Chaotic, loud... rubbish!  Welcome back Poland and all that but this is just not pleasant to my ears.  A contender for toilet-break.  Pretty lady but not for me: sorry

Nico

I kinda like this, pretty fresh. The kinda song that if someone really well know released in the UK would probably be a hit. Alas there's no real hook to it and no help that it's in Polish. Nice bit of slavic melody in the musical interlude, not enough to get people voting though. Pity, would have been nice to see Poland go straight to the final on their return.

Paul J

"Shake what yer mamma gave ya". I love this! Very contemporary! If the live vocals are decent and they don't over-egg the pudding I can see this doing well!

Sally-Ann

Dreadful in every way, this is destined to come last in its semi.  Yes, it's another case of Exit Pole.

Tristán

Haha, I was listening to this before I had any clue it would be chosen. A bright move, to choose a well-known song. I like it, a cheeky mickey-take and if anyone needs convincing that it's a great song, check out Julia Zalewska's cover of it on YouTube.
