Olivia Wieczorek seems to be an early fan-favorite as her song is written by well-known composer Piotr Rubik. Olivia was in his (winning) team during the talent-show “Mali Giganci” (based on Mexican format “Pequeños Gigantes”). Most likely all songs won’t be released before the National Final. The show will be hosted by Radek Brzozka. Margaret and Anna Wyszkoni will perform during the Interval Act as they both prepare some special music surprises.
Poland is back to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest after massive 12 years break. TVP participated in first two contests, reached the last place in both occasions.
