He’s known as the Conchita Wurst of Poland and routinely turns heads on the streets of Warsaw with his daring looks and avant-garde edge.
And on Sunday Poland’s Michal Szpak did it again on the Eurovision 2016 red carpet, rocking a bright blue jacket, red pants and white shirt, with his amazing locks flowing down his back.
Michal was playful as ever, joking that Marilyn Manson is his style icon.

Despite his blue-and-red ensemble, he denies that he drew inspiration from ManuElla’s Eurovision 2016 song.
Before ducking into the obligatory selfie with Team Wiwi, Michal shared a simple message: “All the best from Poland. Vote for Poland!”

what can I say, handsome man with powerfull voice. I am not sure that he will be in top 10 tonight but I know he has one of the most unique personality, style and of course voice! so he will be famous all over the world soon.
I still believe he can win it all tonight. I mean, his charm, his song which is an anthem about life, his voice, his style…he won’t go unnoticed, that’s for sure. Jamala and he are the only ones for me who can transmit the message and emotions of their songs through their performance. 12 points from Spain, I hope Europe values the artists and the depth of some songs and not only the visual effects <3333
I think that Mr. Szpack is after Mr. Lazarev the most sucessiful singer to have an international carrer after this contest. He has charism and personality to conquer fans around the whole Europe. And, of course, he has an excellent vocal and stage presence.
Best singers ready to international career:
Sergey Lazarev
Michal Szpack
Donny Montell
Sanja Zaa
Poli Genova

I’m sitting here on Saturday morning with a large Starbuck hot chocolate catching up on all the wiwibloggs videos I missed during the week. They are such fun and interesting, if only the BBC coverage was half as good. The perfect way to start Eurovision final day.
I haven’t heard such a powerfull voice on ESC since years, wish Micha? good luck this evening
Nice boy with amazing voice !
Totally agree. Michal is the best!
The only very authentic personality of the contest.
Good luck and I’ll really you’ll win.
And Poland is simply a great and beautifull country.
Michal is the black horse. His voice is very good, the song very nice. Personality the best. Michal will win in 2016. Polish song is the best.
