Having made the final every year since they returned in 2014, Poland certainly don’t want that form to end. Their national selection, Krajowe Eliminacje, enters its third straight year in 2018. And this evening, we learned the names of the ten competing acts.
Yes, the months of rumours are finally over. The standout name on the confirmed list is certainly Isabell Otrebus. Isabell was one of the favourite for last year’s Krajowe Eliminacje, ultimately finishing fourth with “Voiceless”.
Isabel confirmed to us back in December that she’d be entering again. It seems TVP wanted to see her back too, as she’s on the list with “Delirium”. After Kasia Mos returned to win, will Isabell be able to do the same?
Another notable name on the list is Marta Galuszewska. Marta is the latest winner of The Voice of Poland, where she was coached by Polish Eurovision star, Michal Szpak.
The two even performed a duet of Michal’s latest single, “Don’t Poison Your Heart” during the live shows — with that song having been rumoured as a possible entry in itself. Will Marta be able to match her coach’s success?
You can see the list of all ten acts below, along with songs (where available):
Krajowe Eliminacje 2018 — Finalists
- Saszan – “Nie chce ciebie mniej”
- Monika Urlik – “Momentum”
- Isabell Otrebus – “Delirium”
- Ifi Ude – “Love is Stronger”
- Future Folk – “Krakowiacy i górale”
- Gromee feat. Lukas Meijer – “Light Me Up”
- Marta Galuszewska – “Why Don’t We Go”
- Pablosson – “Sunflower”
- Maja Hyzy – “Skin”
- Happy Prince – “Don’t Let Go”
Krajowe Elminacje 2018 will take place on March 3 at 21.30 CET, on TVP 1.

Maja Hy?y – „Skin” ( B?YSK) : https://youtu.be/HtRD6sBlJRQ
Poland should send Gromee. The rest of the songs are bad.

So far the only song I actually enjoyed was Love is stronger by Ifi Ude, it stands out, but I’m more than sure that the Polish Cebula won’t even give it a chance.
There’s no song in the final 10 that I liked, such a pity. I only hope that Delirium won’t win, I absolutely can’t stand neither the song nor Otr?bus herself. She’s not special in any way and probably wouldn’t bring us a good place in Eurovision, but people are going nuts…
Momentum – Monika Urlik: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSqUdyc3Nag
I must say this is a strong group this year for Poland! To the point where I like most of the songs that are available for listening thus far!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkx0Jn7ao5w&feature=youtu.be
Don’t let go by Happy Prince is out.
where is the song of Gromee???
Gromee could be in tiop 5 this year, so Poland, please! You must send Gromee!
#teamgromee ??
My winner ??
Hopefully Gromee will win! His song will probably be amazing 🙂
I hope that Gromee wins ? #teamgromee
I was really hoping for Don’t Poison Your Heart duet, so now Im a bit disappointed..
I can’t believe I actually miss Don’t Poison Your Heart. It wasn’t bad, I was just hoping for better.
Listen to Gromee, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Ng9rOrMtI This is really good music, hope he will win.
Isabell’s entry is really crappy just like last year, just pure amateurish, hope Poland won’t choose something like this.
#TeamGromee !! When will the rest of the songs be released? Can’t wait for “Light Me up” by Gromee 🙂
Ifi Ude’s song is great, very modern
#teamgromee
we must wait for all acts but we in Poland think Gromee show really interesting and modern proposition. you can check his style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Ng9rOrMtI
Momentum is an Ylva & Linda song…
Monika https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4G9R-Acswo&feature=youtu.be
I love her voice <3
Monika’s song is kinda meh :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4G9R-Acswo
Awful! I now heard 4 songs and they’re just crap!
Urlik has amazing voice !
Check out this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVMoweUArp0
Let the stage burn !
Marta Galuszewka – “Why don’t we go” – listen here (only Polish version available by now) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GQs4chFTds
Ugh! Why did they think an English version was even necessary?
Marta Ga?uszewska – Why don’t we go – you can listen here in Polish language 🙂
I’m so disappointed. Poland really HAD some great songs sended as proposals this year (my personal favourite was “All About Us” by Marta) but jury – again – made some riddiculous choices…
As I liked “Voiceless” last year, I find “Delirium” boring. I have bad feelings about our national selection, and it’s because of the jury and unobjective fanbases.
Gromee better win
Voiceless was so much better!! Delirium doesn’t have a sing along quality and has no chorus! Like why are fans being delirious over it? I don’t get it
However with Marta or not – Michal with Dont Poison Your Heart is very missing on this list……………………..I am very unhappy…….
Saszan!!!!!!!
Hope Marta has the winning song!
I dont think so …… she is not enough good yet for ESC….
Gromee and Isabell – they are the best – Delirium is quite good song, also Gromee other songs like Runaway or Spirit – I am sad Marta Galuszewska is not singing together with Michal Szpak Dont Poison Your Heart ….. thats the bigest disappointment……. but her record agency didnt agreed……
That Isabell girl’s song is absolutely horrid. I’m kinda sad Michal didn’t submit Don’t Poison Your Heart, it was a great song. Excited to hear the rest!
That’s probably the first and only time I’m agreeing with you.
This is like the fourth time you’ve said this :—)
I never said this before. But I know we agreed on La Forza already, so I was lowkey lying, shame on me. ^^
I know…fans are going delirious over it.and I keep thinking voiceless was so much better. This one doesn’t even has a chorus .
Voiceless was equally bad… that girl is literally voiceless, she should stop doing these…sort of remixed Sia-esque songs I’d say? and go for something more suitable for her limited range.
Well that’s your opinion but I liked voiceless and the jury in Poland agreed! Also I’m talking of the song and not singer.
Though I know Love is Stronger doesn’t stand a chance in the competition, too indie.
Only Gromee!! The best producer of dance music in Poland. He could have make a very good pop song as “Heroes”, for example. Only listen to “Without You” or “Runaway”.
Delirium sounds awfully like Euphoria to me. I like Love is stronger, its different than the rest. I wonder what Gromee will come up with, but Im afraid Lucas voice is not doing much. Can’t wait to see the rest.
I forgot to add: I cannot WAIT to hear “Krakowiacy i górale”.
Yes – it could be quite good example of modern pop with polish folk – good like for ESC !!!
If it’s another My Slowianie I approve 🙂
First off I’m disappointed that Carmel did not try out this year? I’m not really familiar with the Polish music scene, but I seriously hope that this list does not feature some random friend of the jury members like Rafal Brzozowski again. shudder, this crap ended up in 2nd place last year. Love is stronger stands absolutely no chance. The Sasza song is still not the Eurovision version as it is 3:34 minutes long. Otherwise, and okay entry, certainly nothing you’ll qualify with, but still okay. Out of the three songs the only possible Eurovision finale qualifier would be Delirium.… Read more »
!!! #TeamGromee !!!
In name of everybody on wiwibloggs.com please stop spamming your opinion under different generic usernames. Thank you
I really don’t think that one person wrote all the ”teamgromees”. Gromee himself encourages his fans on fb to spread #TeamGromee. He just has got a lot of fans and they are here, too.
God have mercy. An artist with mediocre music yet a large fanbase… I feel like 2016 is going to repeat itself…
#TeamGromee
It’s hard to tell anything because we haven’t heard most of the songs.
Urlik is great singer. I wait for her song.
I really don’t understand what everybody loves about Delirium. Where is the spark? where is the Magic? where is the Special Thing? Ain’t Hearing it tbh.
I am disappointed that Clodie with the song “Go!” didn’t make it.
I’m 99.9% sure Marta’s “Why don’t we go” is the English version of “Nie mów mi nie”
You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GQs4chFTds
I am disappointed too….greetings from Poland 🙂
…and the most notable (and biggest) name is Gromee, how could you forget about including it in the article? 😛
Why Gromee is not going with “Without You”? It’s so good and already a big hit in Poland.
I hope the new song will be better.
Delirium is awful. Boring generic Swedish product. Not buying it.
Will you do an article about Slovene songs?
