#BIRTHDAY: Blanka from Poland is 25 today

Our friends in Poland have had a patchy record in our favourite TV show. From a debut runner-up to languishing in the semi-finals, they’ve probably ticked every box. They are past masters of JESC though.

In 2023, they sent today’s birthday Blanka Stajkow. Based on televoting, she eased through the semi-final, which is where many recent Polish songs had come severely unstuck. The Grand Final was a different story, but young Blanka had already generated many headlines with her Liverpool wardrobe of ourfits, and the one-word catchphrase ‘bejba’, which cropped up time after time after time. Maybe that was all she needed, and the win would just have complicated matters.
