Alicja won the Eurovision preliminaries and will sing in Vienna
Alicja has been selected to represent Poland in the semifinals of Eurovision 2026 in Vienna after winning the national qualifiers with her song 'Pray'.
In a recent episode of the program 'Pytanie na Εniadanie', it was announced that Alicja would represent Poland in the upcoming Eurovision semifinals in Vienna. She triumphed in the national qualifications by performing her song 'Pray', which captivated the audience, earning her 32.01% of the total votes during the final concert of the selection process. This victory means that Alicja will compete in the Eurovision Song Contest semifinals scheduled for May 12 and 14 in Vienna, showcasing her talent on an international stage.
The Polish national broadcaster, TVP, had announced the names of eight artists competing for the chance to represent Poland in the 70th Eurovision Song Contest as early as January. Notably absent from the lineup were seasoned artists like Justyna Steczkowska, who is set to participate in 2025. The competition featured varied performances from other artists, including Anastazja with 'Wild Child' and Basia Giewont with 'Zimna woda,' but none could match Alicjaβs appeal.
Alicja's song 'Pray' not only highlights her vocal prowess but also reflects the broader tradition of Polish participation in Eurovision, a platform that has historically provided significant exposure for artists. With the excitement surrounding her win, there are high expectations for her performance in Vienna, as she aims to make a mark in one of Europe's most-watched music competitions.
