Poland: Isis Gee to Eurovision

Tonight the Polish public and jury have decided unanimously to send Washington-born Isis Gee to Belgrade, to represent the country in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest.

Isis Gee with her song For life will be representing Poland in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. She was awarded maximum points by both the jury and the televoters. In second place followed Natasza Urbanska and in third tied Man Meadow, Plastic and Edi An. Former Estonian representative Sandra Oxenryd finished just 7th failing to impress the jury and public.

What happens to these countries that sing in Euringlish??? Are they ashamed of their own languages, or do they think that they are not appropriate for modern music?? Remember, last year's winning song was NOT in English!!! I propose NOT TO VOTE on songs that are not sung in their original language. NO TO "EURINGLISH" SONGS, with PITYFUL lyrics and full of grammatical mistakes...

Beautiful song Poland, but it's too ... american. Still, it has good chances to get to the final.

Classy song that will go far. Reminds me a bit of Israel 2005 which ended Top 5. Excellent voice, but the girl looks a bit weird in the video - like a product of bad plastic surgery. She need a more natural image and more charisma for Belgrade.

Yeah - I like this; better than some of the early stuff we were getting as entries. But I think others are right... where is the winner? Maybe it is one of these that comes alive on the night.

Classy - not bad at all. I don't think it's the winner though - but where on earth IS the winner this year?! I haven't heard it yet, I'm sure!

@Artur
In the interview she mentions one of her greatgrandmothers is from Poland. A person has 8 greatgrandparents. Golebiowska is the feminine form of her husband's family name.

pretty decent ballad, and a lot better song than Annet Artani, Lise Darly and Glennis that somebody mentioned.
I wouldn't be surprised if it reached top5 or top3, if Jessica Garlick could do it in an equally average ESC year like 2002, why not Isis?

i can just say WOW :) !

And to Jan- I'am even more proud that someone from outside want to represent Poland, I am honored that Isis choose Poland the same as she is proud that Poland choose her.

As I don't understand any Polish, I'm glad Isis sings in English. The language rule won't be changed, so perhaps the time has come for Jan to stop his constant complaining: try and make a diffferent comment for a change.
Anyway, I hope to see Poland in the finals with this wonderful English ballad.

TVP should have in its rules that every song has to be in Polish so that we'll get 12 Polish (language) songs. What is the use of Polish Eurowizja 2008 when everything sounds like a 3rd class American song which never passes local radio stations. I want to hear Polish songs from Poland !

@ Jan
Please, don't be boooring and angry
Margo sung in Polish, but her song was not really good
and don't be nationalist
I prefer song in Polish, but if no one sing good song in Polish, I vote for non-Polish artist :P
One of Polish proverb says: lepszy wrobel w garsci niz galab na dachu (better sparrow in your hand, than pigeon in roof)
Peace from Poland :)

I think that this time we send a brilliant song. And I have no doubts that this song will NOT pass through semi-final. Why? Because of crappy system of voting: Macedonia will give 12 points to bunch of old street-musicans from Croatia and the 10 to Slovenia, 8 to B&H, then Croatia will give 12 points to B&H, 10 to Macedonia, 8 to Montenegro... ble ble ble. If Kosovo will participate and Croatia will fall into Cro Republic and Atia Republic, then Eurovision should change the name to Ex-Jugoslavian Republics Song Contest. It's a shame.

this sing reminds me of songs like the ballads that never do well in eurovision... meaning its not necessarily bad but it never works out.... it will fall in the same category as Monaco 2005 (lisa darly), Cyprus 2006 (anette artani) and NEtherlands 2005 (glennis grace).

@ Jan

She is a nice woman, looks good and has a wonderful voice but this cannot change the fact that the song is totally boring, I really don't know how much she can save with her talent...

A very plastic and artificial and boring song from Poland. It won't work! Totally hopeless!
