Maybe his voice sounded better and different before puberty hit and his voice changed? Or my claim: maybe his voice changed once more after battling with CoVid, which might have affected his hearing as well as his breathing.

Nooooo! I mean I'm not an expert vocalist but I LOVE Jann's voice, it is perfectly unique and satisfying to listen to.

He might have more stage presence and charisma and is a better dancer and a better looking guy (her lips look weird, sorry), but he can't sing.

[@maeden-st7pv]

@@in_wino_veritas Yeah, he was a little out of breath, but I personally like his singing skills a lot more than Blanka’s. He’s got a larger vocal range which would be a lot harder to do. I agree that it was out of tune in places, he still got most of the notes on-point and his general voice is a lot more pleasant to listen to. Gladiator’s unique and I like it for that, Solo seems to be a copy of every song on the radio mid 2010s-though, like you said, this probably appeals to a larger audience.

[@in_wino_veritas]

​@@maeden-st7pvwell, in my opinion, her voice (when it comes to live performances) is easier to listen to than Jann's voice. But that's probably taste. Yes, he was out of tune sometimes, but as you said, his song is probably not as easy to sing as Solo, as it has a more diverse vocal range. Yes Solo is like many normal pop songs from the 2010s, maybe even 2000s, so it appeals to a wider audience, while I'm afraid that Gladiator, (which is definitely a unique song) could have been one of these somgs who fare a lot better within the Eurovision bubble than with the general audience, but I might be wrong. We'll never know.

[@Theonethatyoudidntknowexisted]

"Jann is out of breath" Tell me you have never had to sing a song with a large vocal range, long verses while dancing, without telling me ou have never had to sing a song with a large vocal range, long verses while dancing.

Im surprised he continued sining.

[@misamisaa4547]

Not to mention it's very reminiscent of how Ville Valo sings (The Funeral of Hearts is the first song that comes to my mind but there's other examples)

[@in_wino_veritas]

Yes, but he still needs to work on his breathing technique. Other performers are dancing as well, but they don't get out of breath that easily while singing. And his vocals weren't only bad when he was dancing, they weren't that great either when he was just walking or standing. But the staging itself wasn't that optimal either, he was succumbed by that stage, if felt empty. Maybe more items, maybe dancers, or maybe not moving around that much. Everything should have evolved around a small portion of the stage, plus maybe they could have put something on the LED wall, I don't know, but this could have been fixed in Liverpool. Maybe also if everything happened on the B stage. Plus the song itself could have done well at Eurovision with a better singer, maybe with a better build up as well.

Blanka is not a bad singer by any means. But her song is very simple and easy to sing. Whereas Janns song has an incredible range and while it might not be everyone's cup of tea, Gladiator is much more Eurovision material than Solo.

[@in_wino_veritas]

It's a song written for Eurovision, which could easily be used for a flag parade in the Grand Final. And I read, it was written by a veteran Eurovision team as well, I think, initially for another singer, who ended up choosing another song over it (all legal, it's often the case that demos are making their way to different national finals, Melfest, MGP, etc, just look at what Azerbaijan has sent over the years). It definitely would have gone well with the Eurovision bubble, but I think that Solo would have been more popular with people outside of the bubble, because it's catchier. Gladiator is from the same category as Freya or Hammer of Thor, at least lyrically. Both of them were hyped up by the fandom, but Freya even failed to make the MGP final and Hammer Of Thor didn't do that well with the ordinary Norwegian public either. The quite opposite of Prohibition, which was hated by the fandom, but loved by the ordinary public. Yes, and there's a fear that Gladiator, as a song written for Eurovision and for the Eurovision bubble wouldn't have connected as well with the normal public, while Solo definitely did. Sorry for my novel.

However, that ending Jann did was absolutely amazing! While Blanka, she was just bland at best. True tragedy, Jann would've sounded great on the big stage (they even managed to make Blanka sound okay).

[@bubbletea-v4717]

@@in_wino_veritas jasiek is also a dimunitive of jan but less common i think. are you a polish speaker? i dont want to assume usually but i dont think you are so let me explain. In polish, dimunitives are pretty common to use. its definitely not as big of a deal, we do it pretty often for public figures too. theres probably a line somewhere with some dimunitives being a bit inappropriate or funny to use in some situations, like Jasiek, or Jasiu when referring to Jan which are too specific and casual/condescending (?). This commentor was also writing in polish so i dont think they were worrying about confusing people with similar names as it would be obvious to other polish speakers. It might be weird to some but its really quite the norm in polish to add dimunitives and play with words in general, i hope i explained well?

[@in_wino_veritas]

@bubbletea-v4717 No, I'm not, and I'm reading Polish comments by using the translator in my KZbin app. Thanks for the information. It's great that it's not a big deal for people, even people in public whose nickname you don't know. In my home country, people used to call our nterior minister at this time a diminutive for Maria, and those people were being criticized by the minister herself and members of her party for that. She said that this wasn't her nickname, while a female colleague from her party just called calling her this diminutive just insulting. So, we're used to different things here, I guess. I mean, it's probably different if you know a person goes by nickname x or y, especially if it's just a nickname that isn't a diminutive form. I was just thinking that because Jann has never introduced himself that way, and I once read that his parents and family were calling him Jasiu or Jasiek. But if that's OK in Poland, including musicians, politicians, athletes, etc, whose nickname might differ from the diminutive they're giving them, then it's completely fine and I'm sorry for ranting about that. Thanks.

Hey guys, one more thought from my side about the cracks in Janns singing. Knowing Jann emotional and creative style of singing I am pretty sure that for example the cracks in these lines were intentional: "They've all been dying for a little drama Their favorite stars getting out of coma" And you know what? Even if the are not intentional I love them so much! 🤩They sound so sexy! When I listen to studio version I always hear in my head those sexy cracks and I miss them in official version 😜🔥❤‍🔥

[@simonkarsten272]

Good video idea! I heard someone say that Solo was a song for people who can't sing (well). This video underlines that very well, for example through the very limited vocal range that Blanka needs to sing it. That said, it allowed her to control her voice and breathing far better than Jann could in Gladiator, which makes it that Solo is sung better than Gladiator (a bit like how the Greek entry wasn't sung well). However, even with its flaws Gladiator is an infinitely better song and an infinitely better performance than Solo ever was. There is a sense of intensity and urgency and critique that Solo doesn't have, it doesn't even try to be captivating. The fact it qualified and did well in the final bamboozled me more than some other notable results. And it also makes me think that even a good performance by Jann couldn't equal her result, sadly.

[@callmehotnotpretty1]

Blanka's song qualified because she had at least 2 connections within the jury, one guy was literally her choreographer. Even though it's not allowed to be in the jury when you know one of the contestants personally.

@@callmehotnotpretty1 I know about TVP's situation.

I love his song and would have absolutely voted for it. But chances are he would have had a similar fate as Luke Black. Absolutely loved his song it was unique but it's not a song for the masses.

realise how blanka has literally 1 song while jann has over 10 and releases more and more songs? over the past couple weeks i have observed blanka and janns spotify followers. in the beginning both of their followers got more and more. a couple days ago blanka reached her high with abt. 3.4 million spotify followers and jann has about 1.5 million followers, now you might say that blanka has way more followers (which is true) but while janns follower count continues to increase, blankas followers are decreasing rapidly (exactly what i predicted) so if she doesn’t release more songs, she will end losing a lot of her popularity. moral of the story: jann deserves the whole world and he would have done so great at eurovision but he is getting popularity nonetheless while blanka is just a boring copycat of other singers.

​​@@igeoractually none of them, but I'd give the edge to Blanka. Jann is only in for the money and to be famous.

Not perfect but it's live music, what do you expect? Meanwhile Blanca's song and dance was so much easier and yet she still managed to sound like just, mediocre. At least Jann's mistakes were at the hard bits, she screws up on the easiest parts to sing ever. There's no musicality with her too she's singing it the exact same way the entire time and it just sounds repetative. And speaking of her song it's just so much more basic and repetative than Jann's, there's no deeper like, art behind her song while Jann's actually has meaning. Bad choice, Jann should 100% be on the big stage instead of her.

It's hard to sing while doing these moves, so it's normal for his to have trouble breathing. Still, he controls his voice very well. Jann is better than blanka (my opinion)

[@in_wino_veritas]

Many singers can sing in these positions and dance without getting breathy. Including Blanka, especially in Liverpool, where she didn't get breathy after this dance break. Secondly, he was also out of breath when he wasn't moving. Or was just walking, he also didn't hit any notes and had a lot of voice cracks, his attempt at a falsetto sounds like a cat getting castrated. Especially obvious, if you remove the music, the symphonies, which helped him do the falsetto. In the beginning, his falsetto is almost OK, but then... also, I've never heard someone taking a breath while doing a falsetto. His main issue is, that he's breathing through his mouth, although you actually don't do that while singing. You're breathing through your belly, and he needs to learn that, so that he won't get out of breath that easily. If you think, he's better than Blanka, then that's your opinion, but you need to acknowledge the fact that every expert disagrees.

Jann 2. Alijca 3. Dominik Dudek
