Back in December we reported that Polish Eurovision fans are dying to hear the Polish hit “My Slowianie” at Eurovision 2014. Performed by Donatan and Cleo, it’s an urban dance jam that came out after the September 1 Eurovision cut-off date. Today’s release of the English-language version—”Slavic Girls”—is now stirring rumours that this song will represent Poland in Copenhagen.

Polish Version

English Version

You can listen to the English version by clicking here.

Fans believe Poland would send the English version to the contest. The Polish version has already racked up more than 37 million views on YouTube since its November release.

This reminds us of a Polish “Igranka”—and with all the fun and craziness that implies. Just check out the lyrics: “Cream and butter taste so good…our beauty is famous all over the world, you gotta see it for yourself…”

Poland needs a lift at Eurovision, having fallen hard since their debut when they finished second. They have only cracked the Top 10 once since then and have only qualified for the final twice in eight years. Despite being a fan favourite (and doing quite well in a wiwi poll) in 2011, they came last. Ouch.

So, would you say this would be a great return for Poland? Or another last place finish? Let us know in the comments box below!

Is Donatan re-considering ESC? As his latest update on his FB page shows a discussion with TVP.

@ Arianna and KM:

Fantastic news! I’m so happy right now. 😀 All they have to do now is to send a very strong entry to Copenhagen that can please both televoters and juries.

Hype is over, Donatan and Cleo have confirmed they have no intentions for Eurovision. 🙂

Sigh of relief since it’s not going to be the entry 😛

This year’s Igranka, love it or hate it entry (although with 37 mill. views already…). I’m getting used to it, but they should leave some bonus Polish in there.

Oh dear god please no! Such a terrible and cheap song! Poland won’t qualify from the semi-final if they send this song to Copenhagen! Not in a million years! I miss the times of great entries like “To nie ja”, “?adnych Granic”, “Jestem”, “For Life”, “I do not wanna leave”, “Ale jestem” and others.

Don’t think it woul dbe wise to send this. It’s not a song or act with instant appeal. Western European countries will think it’s too screamy. It will be very hard to qualify with this song. It would be better if Poland would sent one of the great (female) singers they have, instead of a song in a for Eurovision very difficult genre.

This grew on me after a few listens. Now I actually really like it. Not sure how I’d like the English version, and also not sure if this’d do good or not. Hope so, Poland deserves a return to the final.

Do you remember how finished Balkan girls for Romania 2009. Poland is in II semifinal and with this song they get points from UK and Ireland (thanks to diaspora and televote), Germany (neighbour and diaspora vote), Georgia,Belarus (neigbour) and maybe Macedonia. They maybe get 40 point maximum and wili stay in semifinal with this song.

if they send this, it will be a fan favorite, which all the esc-fans will love and believe in, but will disappoint big in coming 11th or 12th in the semi final. it’s so typical. it will be 2014’s valentina monetta, believe me. this is the kind of song that usually dosent make the final in esc. because of it’s hip hop vibe, and we all know that esc + hip hop = not going to work

I actually quite like this! The folky tones remind me a little of Wild Dances but with the hip-hop edge of Igranka. I think this could be great live and see Poland into their first final in years!
