Until February 2, TVP accepted songs from which an internal committee will choose the Polish representative for this year Eurovision Song Contest. So far, it is known that well over 200 proposals have been submitted. The performers who declared their participation include: Justyna Steczkowska (coach “The Voice of Poland”), Luna, Jan Górka, Natasza Urbańska, Marcin Maciejczak, Anna Jurksztowicz, Krystyna Prońko, Izabela Zabielska, Pan Savyan, Stashka, Nita, Sara Chmiel (vocalist of the group Tears and wife GromeePoland’s representative at Eurovision 2018), Bryska and Maciej Musiałowski.
It is known that the names of the members of the five-person TVP commission will be known only after the announcement of the Polish representative. On Friday (February 16), TVP officially confirmed that the performer who will represent Poland at Eurovision in Sweden will be announced on Monday (February 19).
“ATTENTION! On Monday we will announce who will represent Poland 2024! Who do you predict?” – we read in the short announcement.
According to experts from the Eurovision Journal and Eurowizja.org, he has the greatest chance Justyna Steczkowska with a song “Witch-ER Tarohoro”. Except for the trainer “The Voice of Poland” are also mentioned, among others: Luna (“The Tower”), “Nita (“Thunder”), Pan Savyan (“W Kolorku Amaretto”), Natasza Urbańska (“Who We Are”). Songs are waiting for their premiere Maciej Maciejczak (“Midnight Dreamer”) and Maciej Musiałowski (“Znak”).
Shortly before TVP’s announcement, the media circulated unofficial reports that the candidate chosen by the jury was not favored by Justyna Steczkowska. The experts were to entrust the mission of representing Poland in the competition to Luna with the song “The Tower”.
Glow (his real name is Ola Wielgomas and at the beginning of her career she performed under her own name and surname) has performed duets with Eurovision rivals: Justyna Steczkowska (“Not my dream”) i Marcin Maciejczak (“I’m not asking for more”). In April 2022, the artist released her debut album “Nocne zmory”.
– Singing in English makes it easier to go abroad. That’s why I decided to release this EP and that’s why I create in both Polish and English. With this English-language material, I want to open up to foreign markets – said Luna in an interview with Interia.
She entered the pre-selection with the song “The Tower”.
“It is a manifesto of freedom and strength. An exit from darkness and darkness. Abandoning ties, blockages, limitations, negative patterns and relationships. Demolishing the tower and going out into the world. It is realizing one’s own strength, fullness and that limitations are our creation. The tower is a place or state that we build ourselves. I hope that this song will inspire us all to fight for ourselves, our own freedom, love and sense of worth. About being fully ourselves, without boundaries,” says the singer about the song.
European Broadcasting Union reported that during Eurovision 2024 37 countries will participate. Recall that all countries except the host Sweden and the Big Five (France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Germany) will be divided into two semi-finals, which will take place on May 7 and 9.
