With a month and a half to go until the first Eurovision 2024 semi-final on 7 May, the EBU today announced the order of the semi-final line-up.

The order of appearance was determined by the EBU in cooperation with the Swedish organisers, taking into account which place each country was drawn to perform (first or second), but also in a way that the show would be more interesting.

The official Eurovision YouTube channel announced a few minutes ago the official order of appearance of the songs in the semi-finals of this year’s contest.

It is worth noting that this year is the first year in which the Big 5 and the host country, Sweden, are going to perform their songs live in the two semi-finals. So, among the competing countries in the two semi-finals, we will see Germany, Sweden and the UK as guest stars in the first semi-final, while in the second semi-final we’ll see France, Italy and Spain.

The analysis from fans and beyond has been on fire for a few minutes now. After the theories based on the countries’ history in the competition, it’s a first insight into how deep the qualification to the final is or isn’t. In other words, it’s time to make our predictions about who will make it to the final and who are favourites to say goodbye to Malmö early…

Malmö will host the 68th Eurovision Song Contest from 7 to 11 May at the Malmö Arena. The motto of this year’s event, as chosen by the organisers, is ‘United by Music’.

Luna won the Polish internal selection with her song “The Tower”.  She got the most points from the jury panel that chose the Polish representative with a difference of only one point over the second place.  However, we did not know until now the full results of this selection.

TVP has released the detailed results of the Polish selection to respond to the growing speculations around the results.  Following the first publication, the broadcaster removed the initial publication and later corrected it.  According to the rules of the selection each jury awarded points from 1 to 10 to their favorite entries

These are the detailed results of the Polish national final:

The initial results published by TVP did not show the individualized results of each jury.   These were the juries of the Polish national selection

  • Michał Hanczak  – Eska journalist

Poland: Luna was not TVP’s first choice?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Yesterday, TVP revealed that the winner of the Polish internal preselection was Luna with her song “Tower“. Luna finished in the first place with a total of 34 points, while Justyna Steczkowska and Kayah and Dagadana on the second and third place respectively.

However, some internal sources from TVP claim that Luna was not the jury’s first pick and the voting had to be repeated.

Problem with the song selected originally?

According to the aforementioned sources, Kayah and Dagadana won the original jury vote. However, according to a pre-selection juror, some problems with the song prompted TVP to repeat the voting process.

The first issue was related to Eurovision’s regulation having a maximum number of six people on stage. Because the song involved more than six artists, changes would be required to meet Eurovision standards, as well as the use of a shortened version of the song. Second, there was a chance that the song would not meet the contest’s regulations, but no further information was provided on this matter.

Furthermore, the bid would serve as the soundtrack to a Polish film, which raised concerns for TVP, despite the fact that the record label reported no issues.

As a result, TVP decided to hold another round of voting. Luna finished second in the original vote.

Was there actually a problem?

Both the musicians and the record label are unaware of all of this. They all claim that they were not informed of any problems with their bid and were only aware that they finished third.

Because the song’s composers were not informed of any issues by TVP, it is unclear whether there were legitimate legal reasons for repeating the voting process or if it was solely due to TVP.

Anyway, Luna was TVP’s final choice for Eurovision 2024 with her entry “Tower“. Poland will perform on the first half of the first semi-final on May 7.

Of course, this is not something strange, as the United Kingdom, has a great Polish diaspora. It’s a fact that Poles that live in other countries, always support their country of origin in the contest, something that is expected to happen once again this year.

Poland: Justyna Steczkowska’s reaction on Eurovision 2024 and her message to Luna!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Justyna Steczkowska, was the favourite to represent Poland in Eurovision 2024, for many months now. Some time ago, the song “The Tower” by Luna came out, and everyone said that she is the biggest rival of Steczkowska, in this year’s selection, which is something that really came true earlier in the morning.

Today, the Polish public broadcaster, posted the music video of their entry for this year’s contest, revealing that Luna will travel to Malmö, getting positive and negative reactions at the same time.

On a post on her personal account on Instafram, Justyna expressed her gratitude to the world that supported her and sent a message to Luna:

“My darlings, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and that so many of you loved the song “Witch-er Tarohoro”. This is the biggest win for me. Already today I invite you to the only concert in Warsaw (COS – Torwar), which is titled “WITCH-ER”, where you will be able to see the wonderful show of my new album, which I’m working on, which “Witch-er Tarohoro” is the first single. […]

Don’t hate on Luna please. It is not easy to carry such a responsibility, and if you are clipping on her wings today, it will be difficult to rise above such heavy energy and give a good Eurovision show. Keep your fingers crossed for her, like I am. Good luck to the whole team”

Justyna Steczkowska took part in the internal selection of Poland, with her song “WITCH-ER Tarohoro” which received the love of many fans:

Poland: Luna will represent the country in Malmö with her song “Tower”!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We finally have an announcement. Luna is the winner of TVP’s internal selection for Eurovision 2024 and will therefore represent Poland in Malmö with her song “Tower“.

Back in early January, Luna shared via her Instagram account that she has a new song coming, which she would submit to the Polish preselection in Eurovision 2024. “Tower“, Luna’s bid for Eurovision 2024 was released on January 24, quickly dominating the “New Music Friday” playlist on Spotify in eighteen different countries.

There was an extensive speculation for the past week, claiming that Luna was the winner of the Polish internal pre-selection, defeating the fan-favorite Justyna Steczkowska. It appears that the rumors are eventually true and Luna will fly the Polish flag in Malmö.

The announcement took place this morning, while the Polish entry was uploaded on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.

How was Luna selected?

The selection process involved a panel that evaluated the songs on the basis of specific criteria.

A five-person jury evaluated each entry, awarding points on a scale of 1 to 10 based on quality. The entry with the highest marks secured the coveted place of Poland’s representative at Eurovision 2024.

Many Polish artists had expressed their interest in representing the country in Malmö publicly, with the list containing more than fifty artists.

Just a point ahead of the second place!

Following the afore-mentioned selection process, TVP’s expert committee consisted of five members:

  • Łukasz Pieter
  • Michał Hanczak
  • Konrad Szczęsny
  • Piotr Klatt
  • Kasia Moś

Luna emerged as the winner of the internal pre-selection, receiving a total of 34 points, with a margin of a single point from the second place. Justyna Steczkowska finished second with her song “WITCH-ER Tarohoro”, receiving 33 points from the jury. Meanwhile, on the third place there was a tie between Kayah and Dagadana with “Jesień – Tańcuj” and Marcin Maciejczak with “Midnight Dreamer”.

Who is Luna?

23-year-old Luna is considered as one of the country’s rising stars in the pop music scene. She uses Luna as her stage name, because she has observed moon’s influence in her life. Luna means moon in latin. Luna is her alter ego, full of mystery and energy.
