Great doubts before the Polish Eurovision pre-selection after surprising changes

Poland's national broadcaster, TVP, has announced eight artists competing to represent the country at Eurovision, raising concerns over the absence of live performances.

Polish broadcaster TVP has revealed the names of eight artists who will compete to represent Poland in the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, distancing itself from more seasoned performers like Justyna Steczkowska, who will participate in 2025. The competition features artists such as Alicja with "Pray" and Anastazja with "Wild Child", among others. Polish viewers will have the final say in the selection process.

Details regarding the final of the national pre-selection and the voting process have been shrouded in secrecy, which has heightened public curiosity. The decision for the representative of TVP will solely be determined by the audience's votes. However, recent reports have sparked concern, particularly due to the lack of live performances scheduled for March 7, where TVP1 will air pre-recorded acts, which traditionally demonstrate the artists' vocal abilities.

The evaluation process will be two-tiered. In addition to traditional SMS voting, which has been a staple of previous selections, this year's format has raised questions about the authenticity of the competition, as live performances typically allow for a fair assessment of the finalists' skills. As excitement builds for the event in Vienna, the decision to forego live singing has left many fans and commentators feeling apprehensive about the potential selection of Poland's representative.
