Poland wakes up! There are only a couple of weeks left for broadcasters to submit their entries for Eurovision 2021 and fans have been left scratching their heads with Poland’s silence. Local media has been speculating over who will fly the Polish flag in Rotterdam this year, but there has been no info whatsoever from TVP — Poland’s national broadcaster.
Well that’s just changed. TVP has announced that we will finally find out who will represent Poland in Rotterdam during the morning TV program “Pytanie na śniadanie” on the 12th of March.

In their Instagram post, the broadcaster wrote:
“Halo Europo Nareszcie możemy Wam zdradzić polską piosenkę na
Eurovision Song Contest 2021
Ogłoszenie już w najbliższy piątek w
Pytanie na śniadanie w TVP2
Już się nie możemy się doczekać, a Wy?
#BądźmyRazem rozśpiewani”
English translation:
“Hello Europe! We can finally reveal to you a Polish song at Eurovision Song Contest 2021
The announcement this Friday in “Pytanie na śniadanie” on TVP2
We can’t wait anymore, what about you?
# Let’s sing together”
Who could represent Poland at Eurovision 2021?
It’s still not clear if Alicja Szemplińska, the winner of last year’s Polish National final “Szansa Na Sukces”, topping the jury and public vote, can finally reap the rewards of her national “Sukces” and represent the Poles this year in Rotterdam. The “Empires” singer has made it very clear that she does want to participate.
Back in July, Alicja told local media that she had not heard anything about Eurovision 2021, but noted that she was “waiting patiently”. She added, “I believe that in my heart I will be there next year and I am writing lots of new songs.”
Rumours in the press have been flying. Some media sites have disregarded Alicja’s chances of returning. Polish music site All About Music made the claim that Poland’s Eurovision 2020 singer is no longer in the running for Eurovision 2021. However, other sites including Polish Eurovision blog Eurowizja.org are still including Alicja on their list of potential artists.
Another name being mentioned is Rafał Brzozowski. The singer, TV host and former wrestler is best known to Eurovision fans as the co-host of Junior Eurovision 2020.
Rafał had a previous attempt at Eurovision. In 2017, he competed in the Polish national final with the peace ballad “Sky Over Europe”. The song finished in second place, just three points behind eventual winner Kasia Moś.
Who do you want to see represent Poland next year? What type of song do you want to hear Poland send to Rotterdam? Let us know in the comments below.
Sanah is going to announce “something big” on Friday so we may have another “suspect” on the list…
Its is possible that TVP will give some clues before Friday. Yesterday TVP posted a short clip on “TVP Eurowizja” page on Facebook. It’s a clip form “Pytanie na sniadanie”. They briefly confirmed that the song will be released on Friday and they revealed that it’s going to be a solo artist (male or female). So no Alicja and Krystian as a duo.
Well, noone cares…Poland, Russia and Belarus should not be invited to ESC
Alicja with “Empire” was my top 10 🙂 Hope Poland will slay again.
Rumor ! RAFAL?!
We will find out 12 march
It’s quite certain that Poland will send Rafa? Brzozowski. ;< Today a lot of polish media sites have reported the information, some of them along with a song title which allegedly is "The ride" (the ride.. from the semifinal straight to home </3)
And people were bashing Germany and Jendrik. They don’t know what’s coming. 😛
It looks like it is Brzozowski after all. Rumour has it, he was filming his video last Friday.
So Poland will stay in the semi finals again. Shame.
Rafa? is amazing singer. She can sing, have a big personality and he is very handsome (gay in Poland love him a lot, he is a symbol o polish playboy). I believe he is the first artist who could win that contest for Poland. One and only, maybe beside Magda Narozna (remember her name). Can’t wait to see you Rafa?. Europe will love you soooo much ?
Why did Krystian refuse? He is so talented and charming! What a pity!
poland is like, the only major country that hasn’t won yet. they need to get it together and snatch the trophy
Well poland never sent a real « joke act » so i guess Rafal B would be a first good try …
Can anyone explain what has this man done to be regarded this way by everyone? I’m not Polish, so I don’t know what his personality is like (is is arrogant or something?). I was among the very few who liked his 2017 song, but I can see why so many did not. Still, that is *one song*. Is his discography only full of songs people don’t like? I am a bit lost here.
He bootlicks tvp which bootlicks polish government …and without it hes simply cheesy…
I don’t think he did anything in particular, he just tends to be a bit cheesy and cringy. I do not think it has much to do with his 2017 song because apart from Eurovision fans, no one in Poland seems to remember it or care about it. I don’t really follow Polish music that much but it seems that he does not really sing much these days. He works for TVP, where he was a host of one TV show, now he is a host of another one. Both shows are game shows that are quite cringy, they are… Read more »
My dream would be to see some out of the box entry from Poland. I mean Poland have very good alternative/indie music scene, but I don’t think that anyone from that genre would like to perform at ESC
are kwiat jabloni & ralph kaminski part of that indie scene?both acts make very high quality music with beautiful melodies.the outstanding voice of ralph is something what i have not heard in years from a male singer.
maybe an option in the next years?
would like that a lot. 🙂
It’s freaking Brzozowski xd He’s hinting on some “secret music project” on his instagram. Set your hopes really, really low.
Take that back. Nobody wants him there. 😛
He wants too .-.
Krystian Ochman was on TV today ,so Krystian is gone{He does not go to Eurovision}!
Kaja Paschalska will represent Poland. Remember my words!
Fingers crossed but – no matter what – breakfast program on Friday is not the best platform to promote your entry when majority of people will be working. That’s disappointing. At least Monika Kuszynska, who was the most recent internal choice, was announced at 6:40 pm – almost primetime.
From what I read only the artist will be announced during that breakfast show. It’s very popular. We’ll, at least it was 11 years ago when I still lived in Poland. From that blurp it looks like the song will be presented later during the day.
They literally said they will reveal a song
It’s just an announcement. They might give us a title.
Nah, there’s no time and they don’t care enough
I don’t understand the secrecy over their entry and why they want to announce it so late. Not sure if it’s a good sign or not. However, if it was Alicja they would’ve announced her earlier.
Oh, that’s simple! They probably persuaded someone to perform just a few days ago. (Or still persuading and the deadline adds more pressure) XD
But Alicja already made it clear last year she would love to be chosen one more time and it looks like she hasn’t changed her mind. TVP doesn’t need to persuade anyone.
I guess they forgot about ESC. As always
I’ve learned from my past mistakes, I won’t set my expectations too high.
Don’t set any xd
Polish broadcaster is very silent this year but we(Polish fans)have been speculating for such long time and we have so many theories. I wish we gave Europe a good song with a good vocalist. This is my only wish…
Ok,I’m Polish and I’m scared of what we will get from TVP(we Polish fans don’t really like our broadcaster). My first rule is: do not expect too much, so you won’t be dissapointed but also nice surprise is more possible then
I’m starting thinking that’s it’s quite possible Alicja and Krystian will sing together, especially that he said in one interview something like “I wouldn’t perform alone but gladly with Alicja”. Maybe it was a hint. In that way TVP would give Alicja a second chance without ditching her and Krystian, as the next winner of The Voice of Poland (apparently it has became the major unofficial ESC national final) would get his change as well. Fair situation.
That would be pretty but Poles are like 99% sure that they won’t sing together. The chance of sending Alicja is surely bigger that chance of sending Krystian, but there are some other possible names we Poles talk about
Sanah ?
Kasia Deren ?
They were also rumored but there are some other names on the top of the list
Brodka has a really good new single.
Ikr, but she suported women’s strike,so she wouldn’t prolly work with TVP(which is against it)
Oh, I know they would probably send some church song written by Piotr Rubik, if they could.
Brodka is great.,but it’s only a dream.
Thankfully, they will take part. Now only Belarus remains silent
I am waiting for Poland
This can be surprise !!!!!
I have a feeling that it may be Roxie, as she turned 16 this year.
She said last year that she is not planning to participate in esc in the nearest future
She won JESC. Unless she would win ESC, she’d just ruined her reputation which keeps her career alive. She won’t do ESC any soon.
I think it’s tomorrow. International Women’s Day. Quite a big holiday in Eastern Europe.
Red carnations for all the ladies. Ahhh, the communism. 😛
Why do you think I moved out so many years ago?
It’s a beautiful country with unique culture and wonderful cuisine but it’s a complex sh*thole full of uneducated, racist, xenophobic, homophobic so-called Catholics.
Some of them are. I’m not. 😛 I like my Italian sausage. 😛
Switch out Catholic with Protestant/Evangelical (though there can be crazy Catholics too), and that’s also America in a nutshell. Granted, it’s not a majority, but there’s enough of them to hold us back.
Finally Rafa? Brzozowski!
“Let’s sing together.”
“Hello Europe! We can finally reveal to you a Polish song at Eurovision Song Contest 2021.”
I might be thinking way too much out of the box, but I think Alicja and Krystian Ochman will team up and will sing in Polish.
That would be nice but our representant is going to sing alone from what I’ve heard
Finally, We’ve got some news from Poland. We’ll see on the 12th if Alicja’s back or somebody else.
ALICJA 🙁 Half of my heart is already left in Athena and i really want Alicja to participate
Half Of My Heart? Roxie reference? 🙂
Why is this getting down voted? It’s the title of Roxie’s song. A good one, although may seem a bit repetitive.
oh actually i didn’t reference Roxie but thanks to you i just discovered an amazing song! Thank u
You’re most welcome. 🙂
Roxie has a lot of good songs, check it out if you have time 😉
There’s a lot of great Polish music out there. I like adding them to the playlists we listen to at work. C-Bool seems to be very popular.
Definitely! Gromee does also have good songs(Light me up was actually not as good as his other ones), but there are many more amazing artists. I wish they wated to take part in ESC…
I was told that Ewelina Lisowska’s W Sercu Miasta Should be re recorded by Rita Ora with English lyrics. It’s so good. Dawid Kwiatkowski’s Bad Habits seems to be a popular track on my playlist as well. People even enjoy Letni Wiatr. 😛
I can’t help it. I might not be a patriot but I like to spread Polish music and Polish food amongst my British colleagues. 😀
This year is starting to be a big year.. Many female bops like Serbia, San Marino, Cyprus, Moldova, Croatia and probably from Azerbaijan too.. also great rock entries.. one my favorite years is coming.. and we have 14-15 songs to get more
krystian ochman and alicja- wjelkie tutuly!
Well, it’s about time.
Come on Belarus, Azerbaijan, Malta, Georgia and the UK. It’s your turn.
My native UK, Azerbaijan, Malta and Georgia have the songs ready, so can sit get the timings right for release and sit back and relax now…
Big sigh of relief.
