Nefer is a Polish band formed in 2006. Their debut album Nefer was released on 28 January 2008. In July 2008, the group became the supporting act for the Canadian singer Avril Lavigne. The concert took place in Wroclaw Centennial Hall.
The provisory Polish line-up is as follows:
- Anna Cyzon - Love me
- Aneta Figiel - Myśl o tobie
- Dziewczyny - Cash box
- Vir- Sunrise
- Sonic Lake - There is a way
- Nefer - Chciałem zostać sam

Still can't believe Legenda isn't there!!!! I may come across as if I'm in love with the song but the fact that it's Poland can do really well with it! I agree the song would sound better in Polish tbh.
@ Joao love Yohanna
Thanks for the link for the Belarusian final.
I agree 'just whisper me' is the best out of the lot. I personally love 'you are the plane' from the last show.
@Layla Al-Magnuna
Legenda is indeed the best from the songs Poland has come up with so far, but we've been listening this type of song sice Zejlko brough LAne moje.... its nothing new... and his English is very lacking, use POLISH.....
I still believe Poland has a very long way to go.....
good luck poland hm =]
@ Joao
That song is OK, but English is terrible, I can't uderstand 1/3 of the song!! 
That's totally unacceptable for ESC!! 
I have better English accent LOL!!! 
well guys I'm sorry I know this is neither the right place nor the right place to make a comment about this but I just wanna say there are already five more songs from the Belarussian contest "Musical court" available to listen.
These are the songs that competed on today's semi-final and one of them was composed by the spanish composer Rafael Artesero (the composer of La Mirada Interior and Sense tu, both from Andorra).
I'm going to give the link to you and enjoy.

From these four songs my favourite one is definetely "just whisper me" and in my humble opinion this one is the best and the most decent song in this semi-final... the others are just rubbish or just forgettable...
I've liked Whisper to me at the first listen, but My Time is still the song that I like the most from this contest.
@ Ben Gray
You really want Poland to fail in ESC do you? 
Well everyone's entitled to their opinion.
I don't think anyone said that "Legenda" was the "best thing ever" or something like that, only that it was the best option out of the list of submitted entries.
Also it is by far better than these TRULY crap songs that have been chosen so far.
Nefer is the only ok song so far by the chosen ones.
The Anna song is ridiculous and the others are just bad and would probably end up in bottom in the semi.
I can't see the hype in Legenda. I think maybe yeah it's worthy of the NF but the only song with which Poland would stand a chance in Eurovision? Pfft, no. Love Me is still your best bet, although I'd be happy with Sonic Lake!
I quite like Sonic Lake's song, it's really nice actually. Easy on the ears, and we all know that doesn't mean automatic failure in Eurovision!
Nefer's song isn't bad either, although I don't know if it will sound very good live. It's the first Polish language song I've heard that I don't hate though, hahaha.
I know, right. Doda's a legend. Was really hoping for Paulla though.
I want to send big SORRY rom Poland for all Eurovision fans on the name of TVP.*
@Michaell Hilton: Yes, we have many fantastic artists (like Doda or Agnieszka Chylińska), but they don't want took part on the Eurovision, cause they fear for their careers.
@ tochie * loves shiri maimon ♥
I agree! TVP has some hidden agenda for not allowing "Legenda" into the selection.
OAGE and plenty of fans have called them but they ignore it. Instead they chose all these really AWFUL entries.
As for "Love Me" it's total crap. I don't see the comparison with Ukraine 2009 at all.
Nefer is the only OK song of the chosen ones.
I want to send big SORRY for all Eurovision fans from Poland on the name of TVP.
I can't understand why Legenda is out! It's big mistake! I think that we will be again on the semi. No... I don't think, I know it!
Only "Love me", but it's very poor song to Eurovision. It's a worst copy of Ukraine 2009.
It's so unfair and sad, Poland's got so many beautiful&talented artists and I feel absofuckinglutely heartbroken right now, seeing those lame wannabies.
Pin was great!! Why are they gone,why ??
Nefer is good -U preffered PIN!
Bummer!
@pedro martin
Legenda is the best song from Poland this time. They need to make it a wildcard now since PIN withdrew... That would only be fair since it is definitely better than the other crap songs.
Here it is;

Sonic lake was terrible, but Nefer was good.
@New in Town
I agree with you. Nefer is the best now, but ONLY sung in Polish. Aneta Figiel is also OK, but the best is still LEGENDA!!!
1. Legenda
2. PIN
3. Nefer
4. Aneta Figiel
both are bad! bring PIN back!
Guys, who is LEGENDA???? you are all talking about this act.. i've heard nothing about thenm.... I like Nefer....
@ Marko For life loves Jovana
A little too late i'm afraid. They have withdrawn.
Personally I never liked it though.
If TVP doesn't get their act together and let "Legenda" in the contest, and the quality of coming entries will be just as crappy as these already chosen, then I will atleast chear for Nefer.
Nefer's song is pretty good. It's obviously not as effective as Legenda, but out of these bunch of crap songs it's the best.
I wanna PIN - Pin lady!! That's the best song till now, I love it!! 
Worstvision - Warsaw 2010, Marcin Mrozinski is too good for this contest.
Nefer isn't bad tbh but I'm still awaiting for Legenda!!! what is wrong with TVP???? :/
Nefer is the ONLY listenable song of the chosen bunch so far, but I doubt it would do any wonders in ESC though, MAYBE it would qualify to the finals if lucky. BUT if they would translate it to English it would not do anything.
But Legenda so far is the only song with potential in ESC.
But if I had to choose the least bad one out of this it would have to be NEFER... but IN POLISH only!
Nefer is the best so far.
But what is TVP's problem!? Are they trying to make the WORST national selection possible?
Alot of Polish fans are outraged that they still haven't chosen the fan-favorite and only potential "Legenda" by Marcin Mrozinski.
TVP has said that according to a survey poll this song ended in the bottom, but this is obviously just bs. If people didn't like it, how come OAGE Polska and alot of fans try to convince TVP that this IS indeed their biggest chance? Would they put this effort in a song they didn't like?
I hope TVP has a real excuse for not choosing something as obvious as that, because so far they haven't proven anything. NONE of the songs chosen so far will have any chance in ESC what so ever. If TVP believes that, they must be truly deluded.
But so far, without a doubt, withing the chosen ones, Nefer is the best. The English speaking songs are truly ridiculous and except for
hope something better will come up. The songs we have heard until now will never pass the semi.
POLAND whats wong??? you can do better then this!
It's like a contest of the worst songs
I think the song by Nefer is very good!
I'm not crazy about either one but the 2nd one sounds better to me.
