Monika Kuszyńska - In The Name Of Love
In a word, Inspiring. I cynically said a few years ago of Diana Gurtskaya of Georgia that she was ‘proof that the sympathy vote can take you all the way', but there was no voting in Poland, this was an internal selection. She may not be blind like Diana, but least they found a pretty paraplegic.
It is interesting that in the presentation clip you don’t see Monika is in a wheelchair until the end of the clip. I wonder if her performance in Eurovision will be similarly subtle. Either way, I doubt she will be moving around the stage much…
The tune is making me think there is something New Romantics about the writing. Parts of it remind me of a couple of the popular songs of the 1980s, maybe that’s why I don’t mind it. Even though the bookies do not rate this song but I think it is ok, better than some.
The best finish for Poland was in their first Eurovision. Maybe next year they can better that result.
