The show has started.The stage has not changed much these past three years. The opening act is Natalia Kukulsa who placed 2nd in the Polish internal selection of 2001. and it is time for the first song.

Kasia Nova - The Devil

The devil is an uptempo song. Kasia wears a red dress and there are 3 dancers around her and 2 backing singers, all in devil costumes.

Edi Ann - Lovin' U

A nice RnB song. Edi wears black and along with her there are 3 backing singers, a drummer and a guitarist, she has a good voice and she eems to be a favorite as the crowd likes her

Izabela Kopec - You've Got My Love

Though it's an "opera" song, it's very rythmic. The stage is dark with many white lights.Izabela is being backed by a dancer and a computer player.

Starnawski & Urban Noiz - It's Not A Game

The stage is orange and black and here comes another RnB song, reminds those American hits, there are 5 people on stage, 2 main singers, a backing singer and 2 guitar players in gray and black suits.

Isis Gee - For Life

The stage is full of smoke and there are clouds in the background. A very strong vocal performance. There is a pianist and four violin players all members on stage are dressed in white

Man Meadow - Viva La Musica

A "swedish" style song. reminds Magnus Carlsson's "Live Forever" from last year. Man Meadow includes 2 male singers, and they're accompanied by 4 singers. The song is very catchy and it could be tonight's winner, though it might bring poland to a 4th non-finalist entry.

Afromental - Thing We've Got

Another slow RnB song. the singers seem to be out of tune. they are backed by a band including a drummer, 2 guitarists and a keyboard.

Plastic - Do Something

A refreshing pop song. The performance is very funky and catchy. the main singer is being backed by 2 dancers, a backing singer, a keyboard player and a guitarist the dancers are holding papers with pictures of recycle and save water. (we've got to shut down the heatmachine)? Totally positive energy

Sandra Oxenryd - Superhero

Sandra represented Estonia in 2006 but didn't qualify to final,now she's coming back to the Polish national final with the song Superhero, another swedish style song (like her song in 2006). Sandra wears a silver-pink dress, like a superhero and there are 4 backing singers/dancers in silver and black.

Natasza Urbanska - Blow Over

3rd last year in the polish national final with I Like It Loud. may this year it will be louder and will win? Natasza wears a white dress and black boots, and so are her 4 dancers. The music is very good and catchy, the performance is good as well and the same for the vocal performance.

Margo - Dlatego Walcz

The only ballad in this preselection. Margo wears a silver dress and being backed by a pianist and two violin players though all other 11 songs were uptempo and jumpy, the performance and the song isn't boring at all and it can do well in the contest itself, it is also the only song in polish in the contest.
