The singer also added that preparations for the performance are already underway:
“We have already started rehearsals. I will not reveal what happened there. You will soon find out. (…) There is a lot of light there, because the song is about light that gives strength and hope to others,” she noted.
The music video for “Brightest Light” premiered on October 31 and quickly gained popularity on social media. The video is dominated by the symbolism of light – the leitmotif of the entire song.
“The Voice Kids” as a breeding ground for Eurovision talents
Poland is not the only country that focuses on the participants of “The Voice Kids”. This year, as many as six other countries decided to send young artists known from this program to Junior Eurovision. Among them are representatives of Croatia, Malta, Portugal, Italy, San Marino (participant of the Italian edition of the show) and Armenia, whose representative took part in “The Voice Kids France”.
It is worth recalling that Polish Television has recently introduced a significant change in the rules for selecting a representative. According to the new arrangements, the winner of the ninth edition of “The Voice Kids” will automatically go to Junior Eurovision 2026. This means that young singers in the next edition of the program will compete not only for a recording contract and a cash prize, but also to perform in front of a million-strong audience of the international competition.
Poland at Junior Eurovision – a success story
Although Poland made its debut in the Children’s Eurovision Song Contest in 2003, it was only after its return in 2016 that it began to achieve spectacular successes. Roksana Węgiel in 2018 and Viki Gabor in 2019 gave Poland two first places in a row, and Sara James was one step away from victory in 2021, taking second place.
Since then, Poland has been considered one of the most important Junior Eurovision powers, and each subsequent edition arouses great emotions among viewers and fans of the competition.
