Wiwi: If you bumped into Cleo in an alley late at night, she might cut you. You do not mess with this woman and that aggression comes through in this performance. She is empowered, she is strong, and she is my dark horse of this semi-final. The song is unique and original, and the spilling cleavage makes me laugh, laugh, laugh. I need this to advance.
Patrick: Freakin’ hell…. This is…. a Polish dream! I can’t believe I’m saying this but this is a fantastic performance. The song may be crap, but with this staging they should squeak through to the Final. The colours, the Polish tradition and the sexiness of Cleo – just amazing! I can’t wait to see the how the floor lights up during bridge. Cleo should really work on her vocals because she still sounds awful but I really like their rehearsal. Thank you Poland!
Judit: Cleo’s vocals are perfect, it sounds like it does in the official video. Poland uses traditional patterns on the LED wall, and the background singer/dancers also wear traditional dresses. This rehearsal wasn’t bad but there isn’t anything special in it. This is more than a comeback for Poland—it’s a triumph! Good job Slavic Girls!
Bogdan: In the press centre, Poland’s show is known as “the one with the tits”. It’s so shamelessly, blatantly erotic, that it looks like you need a Spice Platinum subscription to watch it. There’s this lady who goes to get water and then she starts doing laundry at the tip of the stage and it’s fabulous and hilarious (for the gays) and – I would a assume – titillating (for the three straights). Too bad they couldn’t find a sexy Polish hunk (not Donatan, haha) to help her hang the laundry afterwards. Anyway, vocally Cleo is on point and the show is very memorable. This is Grand Final material without a doubt.

I love the sound of this song, hip-hop is what ESC needs, I can’t stand anymore the sentimental and tearful ballads, which dominate this year. How should I put it, not every singer is Sinatra or Mariah Carey, so I’m glad that “We are Slavic” gives me a musically tasteful alternative. Go Poland & Cleo!
Ahahahah I really enjoy looking at this trolls xD Did not know Azeris can be this low .Sad seriously
This is a torment on my senses… My eyes hurt from all that red and my ears hurt from…well, the song itself… I really tried to like it, but I’ve given up! My only hope now is that I won’t be subjected to this twice…
Alright, I’m sold! For some reason I doubted it would sound good live, but Cleo manages to sing perfectly! I can hear that even in this low-quality videos. Good luck Poland!
She sang the way she was supposed to! And the variations she added are spot on. True, the backing vocalists endanger the final product, but that is clear to hear… hearing check anyone? 😉
On top of it all, she can be bad-ass but also splendidly bright and endearing when she smiles over the instrumental section. Amazed me!
And for anyone not getting the irony at this point, well we’re sorry. This song should stand out and make it through to the final hands down.
Beatiful east prostitus girls , this go to have much points sure, east girls are very popular in west
Two words. Poland 2015. End of.
I do like the song, but the focus is wee bit too much on the sexual aspect for me. As if there aren’t enough young slavic girls forced to work as prostitutes already. I’d like a more positive message, like telling girls that they can achieve much more in life than just rely on their beauty, but that being said I think this song will definitely qualify and reach a good spot in the finals.
this year Polish song really STANDS OUT from the rest
it’s a sure qualifier
I’m afraid the background overwhelms them detracting from the performance. I expected a much better, but hopefully they pull it all together.
I like the slavic theme in the costumes and the background but they are not seasoned performers – they look and sound quite nervous and inexperienced. The song doesn’t help either…
So proud of Cleo and her amazing song.
LOVE IT
I really like this.
Sweden will win ofcourse but Poland will surprise I think
P said a total bullshit! Our girls were amazing!
Go my fatherland Poland!
P, I guess your mother didn’t teach you to shake what she gave you…
Patrick is just being butthurt. Cleo can actually sing… it’s just the backing vocalists that are ruining the song.
I hope they stay in semi final, and I hope they don t get any points from Slavic countries. With that performance at stage they don t deserve final.
If there were a badass prize in Eurovision, Cleo would win it hands down. She owns the stage with her presence and her powerful voice, and I love her battlecry at the beginning.
Poland FTW!
I don’t care what anyone says, you have to give it to Poland for being modern and fresh. Excellent! 😀
Warsaw 2015? Krakow 2015? We’re ready 🙂
Haha 😀 At first, Patrick said that she sounded awful and than Judit said the vocals were perfect xD What is the truth? 😀
