Blanka and her entry to Eurovision has been the subject of accusation of cronyism in Poland with accusations two jury members, including the jury chair were associated with Blanka and the heavy use of her song to promote Tu bije serce Europy! Wybieramy hit na Eurowizję!, the Polish national selection. The the fan favourite Jann had 3 times the televote of Blanka. Multiple petitions were launched to change the result, but nothing changed and we still have Bland Blanka Solo.
Solo is a fairly middle of the road popsong and despite reaching #1 in Lithuania nothing about it stands out. The performance at Eurovision will probably be equally as middle of the road with lots of strutting, grinding and twerking in lieu of actually dancing. Even if this makes the final, there it will come against more polished popsongs with actual dance routines which will leave this middle to the bottom of the road, in the gutter somewhere.

Poland finished second in their first Eurovision and have never replicated that success, they have not even made the top 5. Their next highest is 7th which they reached in 2003 with Ich Troje with a ballad for the ages
