UPDATE: ON 22 NOVEMBER 2013 SFR ANNOUNCED THAT GOSIA ADVANCED TO THE FINAL 18!
We’re all wishing that Poland—land of Eurovision’s Next Top Model Winner 2011 Magdalena Tul—would return to Eurovision. But if that’s not going to happen, seeing a Polish singer on the Eurovision stage would offer a small consolation.
And at least one Polish star is trying. Popular Polish singer Gosia Andrzejewicz is entering a song into the Swiss National Final for the second time. She entered the song “You” in the contest back in 2011, and will now give it a go with “I’m Not Afraid,” which she has already uploaded onto Switzerland’s Eurovision Platform.
“I’m not afraid” was written by popular American producer and DJ Andres Fresko. It’s already been viewed more than 100,000 times on YouTube and was played on Polish radio station ESKA. Readers of Macedonian music website ZaSe.mk threw it some love, and so is wiwibloggs.com. We’re jamming to this in the library right now!
Gosia previously took part in Eurovision Song Contest in 2005 with Ivan i Delfin. They represented Poland with “Czarna Dziewczyna” and finished 11th in the semifinal. (For her part, Gosia played an accordion in the background.) One year later she participated in the Belarussian National Final with “Dangerous Game” and finished 14th.
Poland’s national broadcaster has yet to decide whether Poland will take part in Eurovision Song Contest 2014. Perhaps they still have a bad taste in their mouth from Eurovision 2011. Magdalen Tul’s “Jestem” finished last in the semifinal.
“You” — Gosia’s entry for Switzerland’s 2011 national selection
“Dangerous Game” — Gosia’s entry for Belarus’s 2006 national selection

GOSIU KIEDY BENDZIESZ MIALA NOWA PIOSENKE? WEJDZ NA NK PODAM CI MOJE I MIE NA NK MARTYNKA GRUDZINSKA ODPISZ PROSZE
I thought she was in the Polish SF in 2011 with You not in Swiss SF.
But it’s ok 🙁
I hope her to win but really I don’t think she could do it.
She is not popular even in Poland.
It’s not a bad tune, but I don’t think it will do anything for Switzerland.
can’t listen to more than 30-40 seconds from either song
“I’m Not Afraid” is okay, but there are a few stand out entries from what I’ve heard so far from the Swiss national final entries.
short answer: No
Already heard 6 better and nothing distinct about her singing
