@Danish Blueduck
Finland 2006 is Lordi. Was that Jari Sillanpää behind that mask ?
;-)
@Bartek Bartek
Artists who do not want to sing in Polish should always be rejected by TVP.
It's very annoying that jury rejected a lot of much more better songs that these, which were qualified. Listen to e.g these compositions:

It is amazing how a country with so much quality Polish language music can get to such crappy national selection for the ESC.
@Jan 1964:

@Martin: Mozesz napisac do TVP i poprosic o wejsciowke. W zeszlym roku byly bezplatne.
==========================

I love Lidia Kopania and I love Man Meadow!

My favs at the moment:
1. "Mon chocolat"- Tigrita Project
2. "I don't wanna leave"- Lidia Kopania
3. "Kilka slow"- Artur Chamski
Waiting for the rest of songs now...

@Martin: Mozesz napisac do TVP i poprosic o wejsciowke. W zeszlym roku byly bezplatne.
I would like to know who put the smiley symbol in my post! I don´t like Jari Sillanpää I would never put a smiley when mentioning him!!
Mon chocolat (Tigrita Project) is a tango! well, I´m surprised because it springs to my mind Finland 2006 (Jari Sillanpää 
, that was also a tango and it did not go well with the public, so I could not reasonably expect Mon chocolat to be a successful entry, and it is just... flat.
Hm... my favourite songs is:
LIDIA KOPANIA - I DON'T WANNA LEAVE
ARTUR CHAMSKI - KILKA SŁÓW
And my ranking:
1. TURKEY
2. MONTENEGRO
3. ALBANIA
4. BELARUS
If Hera Bjork wins in Denmark and Susanne Georgi in Andorra, this would be my ranking:
1. DENMARK
2. ANDORRA
3. TURKEY
4. MONTENEGRO
5. ALBANIA
6. BELARUS 
GREETINGS FROM PÓLLAND 
man meadow all the way!!!! exciting!
One question to my Polish Pepole here:
Jakie są szanse żeby zodbyć bilety na Piosenkę dla Europy
cena nie gra roli
potrzebuje 4
pozdrawiam!!!
My top 5 of polish entries so far:
1. Lidia Kopania "I don't wanna leave"
...
...
...
2. Dali "Everyday"
3. Tigrita Project "Mon chocolat"
4. Artur Chamski "Kilka słów"
5. Mikromusik "Kardamon i pieprz"
the worst song - Stachursky "I nie mów nic"
A na oficjalnej stronie Marco Bocchini'ego jest już dostępna piosenka eurowizyjna.
Rzeczywiście jest sonda na onet.pl i tam większość narodu jest za Stachurskim obawiam się że będą głosować bo go lubią. To jest naszym głównym problemem, że kierujemy się swoim gustem, a nie staramy się wstrzelić w gust Europy.
Jakby Stachursky się zgłosił z tą piosenką co śpiewał z In-Grid w ubiegłorocznych preselekcjach to może mógłby coś powiedzieć, ale to... No cóż.
Lidia Kopania, Tigrita Project - to moi faworyci.
I agree with tochie, only Lidia Kopania !
LIDIA TO MOSCOW! I love this song
http://myspace.com/lidiakopania (listen)
Ewwwww, that Stachursky song is awful! I know he's VERY popular in Poland, so one can only hope he doesn't get many votes.
Tirgita Project to Moscow I very like this singer Her French is funny
I hope Poland in this year quality to final...
