Warsaw calling! Eleven acts competed in Poland’s Eurovision 2025 selection Polskie kwalifikacje to gain a ticket to represent the country in Basel. In the end, the Poles decided that Justyna Steczkowska will represent Poland at Eurovision 2025 with “Gaja”.
Valentine’s Day or not: eleven acts tried to win over a public voting. It was Poland’s first national final in two years — following last year’s internal selection. In 2023, Poland’s selection led to controversy.
Perhaps in a result to that, TVP announced that the Polskie kwalifikacje result would solely be determined by SMS voting. Poles could vote up to 20 times per song.
You could watch Polskie kwalifikacje live from 20:45 CET on TVP2 or on the official Eurovision YouTube channel. The show was scheduled to run until 22:45 CET.

That Baby Lasagna was just cringe and awful, one act horse that copies others.
He is complete trash.
Now we need Magazon to win Dora.
Please no. Lelek all the way!
Congrats Poland
I personally think that men in high heels is just cliché, already seen so many times (Spain 2024 anyone?) and should stay in the past. But I like everything else. The song is catchy, the voice is great, even the chaos on the stage somehow looks good. Good luck to Poland. Just change high heels for male dancers.
After the Jann/Blanka debacle, I refuse to get involved in the Polish NF but this sounds pretty good.
She sure threw everything in for three minutes. At times it becomes to much everything at once and not everything sticks. I hope Justyna has someone in her team that can say no…
But the song is not to bad. Could grow on me
I agree. I think it takes one person to say this is a mess, and let’s calm down.
Coming back to the eurovision stage after 30 years… RESPECT!!!
That woman is 52 years old throwing herself around that stage and getting lifted into the air, absolute queen! I didn’t listen to the other songs in the selection but I’m very happy with this choice for Poland, it should see them back in the final
Very good performance, the song itself doesn’t do anything for me though
Best Polish entry in years – possibly ever!
Okay, so that’s an exaggeration
Best since 1995 then
How about Ochman and River? That’ was a beautiful song!
His song was so good
Sorry, he was boring.
It would be great if she opened the show in Basel, like she did thirty years ago!
Poland are drawn first half of semi one, so it’s looking likely!
There isn’t much of a song here. She mainly wants to showcase her vocal abilities. Some of the performance felt more like a circus, and it would be best to cut or rearrange those parts. I know she brings energy, but the song itself isn’t that interestint… it doesn’t make you think, ‘I will surely vote for this.’
It’s the Divas flying year definetely! Melody, Erika and now Justyna.
I noted that the trend too this year in the National Finals is to fly, Spain, Slovenia, Finland, Poland, I could even include Belgium as he begins his perf. in the air.
I could even mention Elvana in Fik
they ditched hold the light for this…well…choices
her vocals were off a bit tbh during the performance
Yeah but we could barely heard them as they were 95% covered by the pre recorded vocals… and people here close their eyes on that. I know Justyna is a great singer, I’m not much worried for her, but I’m pretty sure she can’t sing like that while shaking her head.
and that is why i believe there should not be any recorded backing vocals allowed unless a singer is ill
This song is a mix of everything and kitchen sink…some parts work, other ones no. But all of it needs to be polished 🙂 for Eurovision stage. Even then, it will be hard for something eclectic like this to advance to the final from all televote semi. Most of the people need a hook or recognizable melody to pick up the phone and vote in bigger numbers.
What a mess! 3 minutes of wailing noise and acrobatics, the whole thing smacks of desperation.
She as a fantástica Voice . And she was singing live
Is she actually singing live? Her vocals are so good, it is almost unreal.
yes. You can listen to some of her other performences on yt. She is one of the best vocalists in Poland
this is bad …..
Horrible song. You think Melody fans are psycho wait for Justyna fans lol
Gaja was my second choince, I was all for Lusterka, Svada’s vocals were immaculate, gosh, what a live performance, she was absolutely amazing. I think we would ve easily made it to the top 5 at Eurovision.
Actually it’s good she didn’t go last year, I’m glad she avoided that toxic mess.
I really don’t get the hype. I feel like it’s a song coming from 2005
Yes it’s basic song, borderline qualifier
100%, It’s like they’re trying to channel Ruslana and not doing a very good job at it.
I do think it is similar to Wild Dances. But 2000’s nostalgia is a thing so..
Welcome back Justyna on Eurovision stage !
Poland 7,5/12
She had the absolute best song and performance back with Sama in 1995 (Yes, I’d rather have seen that she had won, than my own native Norway). This is also brilliant. For me it is Poland and Greece in the top now.
No Nocture may be the best Eurovision winner ever.
It’s me or o think we are having divas year in esc ? That’s boring and cliche
This is bad. A bad song with bad execution (staging and performance). Good luck Poland!
I just realised it’s the same Justyna who sang Sama in 1995! OMG! Why? That is one of my best ever ESC songs. What happened in those 30 years?
She so deserved to win back in 1995. Just wonderful.
Are YOU the same person you were 30 years ago?
This is the kinda stuff I want at eurovision. Fun but powerful and a bit crazy without feeling fake. Could it be more streamlined? Yes. Do I want it to be? Just a little. I quite enjoy the chaos of this song, the only song so far that gives me anything. Just clean up some of the shots and let the chaos commence! Also funny is that I feel there is more of a certain “appeal” here than Ich komme from Finland that is all about that subject (and this isn’t even Justynas focus it feels like!). Ironic. Anyways, straight… Read more »
The song for sure is powerful and has a lot of potential. It’s the number that confuses me. It feels a little 2000s and too much of everything on stage. Guys on hills, black leather, flying, screaming, writings on the wall.
They need to hire a good production team and it may be a blast!
Good luck Poland!
Looks like something a country in the Balkans would have sent 15 years ago
Yesss, very Balkan
Poland will stay in 1/2 or at least be like georgia in 2024… well done bye-bye
I’ve got to ask. Was her vocal live? How on earth did she maintain it shaking her head the way she did! That said i loved the staging and the overall performance. I think Shkroda Elektronike Alb have a serious rival. Well done Poland.
Backing vocals they call it. It worked wonders!
I would like to congratulate Poland on a great national final – a manageable number of songs, minimal waffle from the hosts, televote only (so the country can say it’s the song they picked, no one else) and all done and dusted in two hours. Major applause. Well done ?
Incredible Incredible Incredible incredible
Not my fave flying diva of the year
Non QF !
OMG. She was perfect. Love it!
Saaaame. I just watched the performance and I love it. It’s chaotic and memorable. ??
2000s Eurovision chaos, in all the good ways. I like this. Of course I’m mainly seeing things more so than listening to things but the beat I’m listening to I don’t mind. Anyone still trying to convince themselves Eurovision is an actual song contest needs to get a grip.
I must admit, the performance had me going ‘wtf’ every 20 seconds, in the best way. She was captivating to watch and listen to, and the fact I couldn’t predict what her vocals were going to do from one moment to the next, what dance moves or staging changes were about to occur and how the melody would change, kept me on my toes and constantly mesmerised. In other words, she stands out hugely and was very entertaining to watch. She never kept it boring, which is crucial at Eurovision. Poland are back with a bang.
Good and competitive final! Very happy for Justyna and think she’ll do well 🙂 Swada come back next year please that was so good too
Lauro performing Ancora. What joy.
Even if Elodie looked embarassed, and tried to drag him off the stage.
OOPS, wrong thread
We’ve all made that mistake at least once in our lives.
Justyna was objectively the only one who had the full, Eurovision-ready package. However, for me “Gaja” is just a lot of yelling in the Slavic woods that sounds a bit dated. I’m sad Sw@da i Niczos’ Lusterka didn’t make it – it would have been a much more competitive and original entry on the big Eurovision stage. Nevertheless, it was a very nice show, so well done Poland!
Just a bunch of screaming and belting. It’s not even ‘song’. Idc, downvote me all you want.
One of the better songs from Poland. Congratulations to Justyna,
Justyna was on fire tonight. I’m so happy with the result.
With the right staging (it being simpler and less chaotic) I can see her easily reach at least top 10.
And I posted my top 3… and it is waiting for approval! Lololololololol
I’m not sure what I think. I really liked her song from last year, but this one .. hmm I need to listen to it a few more times. It could be a grower I think
Competition for Zjerm, but I doubt it suits Eurovision 2025.
Of course it does, it is a well choreographed spectacular production sung by a timeless diva
Very unpleasant song. Sorry Poland you have made a wrong choice.
félicitations Justina
