The only decent song I guess - but let's wait for the performance. Personally I don't think " Fairytale " was any stronger or more original than this and it could still win ( as said, because of the performance and stage presence of the performer ).

@new in town

once again. this is demo. tvp gave the wildcard too late (but at last they did it :P). until selections it is impossible to make big changes. this version will be shown on 14th February.
Marcin told it in an interview for OGAE Poland in December.
Link is in polish :P http://eurowizja.org(...)/v9_news.php?id=5172

@ sebastian LEGENDA

How can you be so sure that it is just a demo?

Anyhow, like i've written before; re-worked verses, bigger and more "real" feeling arrangemets, more Polish parts, more folky, bigger climax and more ...

then it would be a contender maybe even for first place!!

So far it's a contender for making Poland qualify, which offcourse is also good, but it can always be better! ;)

GO LEGENDA!

@ Mira Craig FTW

Haha... lol... it wasn't meant as a competition ;)

Offcourse you as a Serb are more familiar with Serbish ethno than me, but it obviously includes elements. Listen to some of the instruments and style and also compare it to a "normal" type of ballad and it becomes quite obvious.

@yerevan jan
This is DEMO version of Legenda. ;) So don't be afraid xD

@mira
Thanks for explain this holiday ;) I believe it's a very important day for Serbes. ;)

There is something that I like in the song, but also i Feel that they should work a little bit more on the song, as in my opinion the song is not in completed form! The passage of the parts of the song are innatural!
Goodluck to Poland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totaly agree to you in the midle of the song Molitva there is an instrumental part, and ofcourse that is ethno element of the song!!!

I'm loving this more and more!!! Legenda FTW (again :P)

Anna Cyzon is the only other good one but it's the same old thing. At least Legenda is different.

This song will win: D
Aneta it is very cool :)

@ Mira Craig FTW

Molitva HAS ethno elements, it is very regional sounding. I didn't say it was pure ethno though, but it is not a "regular sounding" ballad a la west.

Anna will probably not qualify to final even since it's too generic and anonymous i'm afraid. It has nothing special. It's just an anonymous wannabe American song.

I think with Anna Cyzon Poland can be in TOP 5!!!
I showed that song to my friends and they think it's AMAZING! They think actualy that it is too good for ESC! :D

It's ViDovdan! That's is a religious holiday - on June 28, It's important from 1389. when the Ottoman Empire fought against Serbia in the Battle of Kosovo!

New in Town
Sorry but it wasn't ethno ballad!
Nobody said that "Molitva had ethno elements!!
As I know Vladimir Grajic don't write ethno songs! LOL :D

I liked Oro very much, although I think it is a little bit sad. Very ethno- for example I don't understand what is Vitovdan. But you're right- it is similar to our Legenda ;)

@ Mira Craig FTW

"Molitva" is NOT an ordinary ballad! Maybe living in the that area it might feel like that, but you don't here ballads like that anywhere in the "west" at all. It definitely had ethno elements.


Iwona Wegrowska FTW [60087]
Fri 29 Jan 2010 12:23:21

Of course I will vote for Poland Sebastain!! :)
But "Molitva" is not ethno, it's ordinary ballad|!!! 0% ethno, you probably mixed it with "Oro"!! ;)
And I don't like all song s you mentioned... :D And "Senhora do mar" can't be similar to "Legenda" too! :D

egenda is similar to some esc-songs, but definitelly not fairytale. it's only about name- legenda/legend it's old story, fairytale. if this song was called "rycerz pawie pioro" noone would compare this two songs ;)

wolfes die alone, molitva, bistra voda, lane moje, senhora du mar. those are songs in quite simmilar style as legenda. so i wonder mira you don't like it ;P but you promised you'll sent your voice for poland no metter what we choose so I keep your word and wait until may :)

@ Paschalis

Vir's English is VILE... sometimes English can be bad in Eurovision but that is really bad... no chance it would become a hit anywhere.

Leszcze are old men singing some stupid song that would end up in the bottom in the semi...

Nefer is ok though...


Paschalis [24641]

Vir, Nefer or Leszcze to Oslo! They are the best and their songs can become hits.

@ Mira Craig FTW

Marcin has more in common with Poland in his sound than that Anna girl, and you can't deny that.

anna's song is poor copy of lady gaga (in polish "zgaga" means "heartburn" ;). it's enough of sending copies to esc (black eyed pills- 2007, celine dion-2008, copy of copy of celine dion-2009). now it's time for something new! ;)

@ New in Town
Whatever they remake I simply can't like song with this STUPID lyrics.. :D :D
Why Poland must send this, why not some other country which I like less than Poland.. :(

@ Mira Craig FTW

Legenda has the potential to become a really great entry if they re-work it some...

The others doesn't have that potential.

Actually I still have hope (If there is not jury in PdE :S ), that televoters will choose Anna Cyzon, coz I think Iwona doesn't have chances with televoters!! :(
