Eurovision 2023: Poland’s Second Rehearsal!
Opening the second half of the Second Semi-Final is Blanka, representing Poland with her “KREJSA” song “Solo”.
Who is Blanka?
Blanka Stajkow, known mononymously as Blanka, is a Polish singer and model. After writing her first song at the age of 14 while living in the Polish city of Szczecin, Blanka knew she wanted to be a popstar, and so headed to the USA with her mother, and put down roots stateside for the next 4 years. In 2021, she participated in Top Model, a Polish reality television show. While on the show, she officially released her first official single, “Better”.The following year, she signed a contract with Warner Music Poland, and released her second single, “Solo”, which now brought her to the Eurovision stage.
Blanka’s win in the Polish national selection was filled with controversy but Blanka, “Bejba” for her fans, is here in Liverpool stronger than ever, enhancing the criticism and making it a huge weapon of hers.
The Rehearsal
Unfortunately this year, accredited journalists don’t get the chance to watch the first and second rehearsals, so we only get the information and content that the organizers officially release to the public.
The most uplifting pop banger of the day so far is up on the stage. Blanka could NEVER be “Solo”, she’s accompanied by 4 backing dancers during the whole performance. This staging makes us feel like we are in a tropical summer mood from the start to the finish.

She really owns the stage and believe me, she will draw all of our eyes on her, enough to go through to the final. Durring the middle of the song, from the LED backdrop of tropical graphics we are watching a transform to a dancebreak along with an outfit reveal and new LED graphics, where they make the appearance even more interesting. The final chorus of Blanka’s performance is accompanied by a shower of fireworks! Hot enough to make Europe dancing in Bejba moves!
