Poland – Donatan and Cleo – My Słowianie (We Are Slavic)
Oh Poland! Why do you always do this to me?
Every year the patriotic part of me wants to cheer on the entry from my grandfather’s homeland, to wave the flag and witness a Polish victory.
And every year I am disappointed.
Why? Because they always enter shit like this.
Alright, it could be worse (it could be Latvia’s effort), but that doesn’t mean it’s any good.
It’s basically some Eastern European rap aiming to poke fun at stereotypes of Slavic women, but unintentionally ends up being an excuse for a soft-porn film clip (at one stage there it had the most views on YouTube and was therefore skewing the betting – however it’s fair to say people weren’t watching the video for the music).
Poland is actually back in Eurovision in 2014 after a two-year hiatus, ostensibly because the national broadcaster was focusing on other priorities (read: they couldn’t afford it).
Perhaps they should’ve taken more time out to have a good hard look at themselves.
And Poland, please know that I say that with love.
