Underrated, one of the best beats ever to enter Eurovision.

[@SweetMonkeyUki]

Jestem means I am in Polish. I'm from Serbia our languages are similar. ;)

[@hashar9593]

@Gizem its really is

[@yabits]

This song is GREAT!! I am American, but of Polish ancestry, and I am extremely proud of this song, especially sung in Polish. When Magda belts out the word "Jeszcze!" I want to melt. Winning Eurovision doesn't mean anything and everyone knows it. What is important is that songs and talents like Magda's can reach a wider audience.

[@xewaax]

@Wonderwoman07ish I'm half Polish and half Dutch, and i hate it too when people hate Poland just because some of them do something bad or are drunk. But not EVERYONE in Poland is like that. I love my mom so much, and sometimes she can't get a job here in Holland because she is from Poland, and people think she is weird. But the people who really know her, can see what a beautiful person she really is. And i really think, that the nicest people of the world live in Poland :) Kocham Polske!

[@DannyFDNY]

I'm American and Irish, I don't speak Polish, but I completely respect that she's singing and representing Poland in the beautiful Polish language. =] My uncle married a Pole from Krakow a few years ago and now I have a beautiful half Irish and half Polish baby cousin. =)

[@badguychun-li8695]

This moment when last place is better than winner...

[@goodmusicesc9077]

Igor Chobot Jestem is my 5th favourite entrie of all the history of ESC ♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

[@givehope5941]

exactly !!!!

[@rawairek]

^ I don't think so XD

[@bretlir]

Remember this was my favorite going in to the competition. I can see why it didn’t do so well. Generic pop that really didn’t translate well live, unfortunately. Still deserved better though

[@fyr_og_flamme_vasil]

I don't think so, the winners were very cute but this also deserved final

[@GrzegorzHTLip]

Ta piosenka jest wspaniała, nie zasłużyła na ostatnie miejsce

[@piotrs7327]

A była na samym końcu?

[@GrzegorzHTLip]

w swoim półfinale TAK

[@nunoneves1515]

Totally Underrated -.-

[@sunkkist]

Seriously this is way better than that plagiarized creepy song that won that year.

[@luksioczad]

We want Poland back! Greetings from FINLAND

[@Hefyma]

We MISS Poland in eurovison

[@Nutzername92a]

I hope my country (Germany) gives 12 points to our lovely neighbour Poland

[@systemofaparis]

Her eyes! Those eyes go straight to the second best I've ever seen in my life in a woman (the first are of a friend of mine)!

[@deniseey86]

It should have won

[@bolivia6347]

how did it finish last?

[@esccyprus]

because it was the opening song

[@commentor3485]

@Nodabené Poland seems to struggle with staging after the national final. 2010 song wasn't bad but the staging in Oslo was trash.

[@fyr_og_flamme_vasil]

It wasn't last... Netherlands was last (43rd), this was 39th I think

[@pinkcat90]

I love this song!So fantastic! Greetings from hungary! :)

[@aivalistavro]

This was one of my favourite's from Poland. Interesting it came last in the semi final.

[@maraschroder6660]

Kommst du auch aus Polen? i love polska♥

[@nakkoxyxful]

i'm japanese but i've ever heard this song in japan. and i was so excited when i heard this song in Berlin during this summer vacation trip.. but i've never talked directly with polish people since before.. so i felt bit sad when i was looking at the direction for Polish border.. now i'm wondering why i had to go back to my country without cross the nearest border.

[@friendtimi]

Hungary and Poland will rock this year!!!!!!! Both deserve it for long time

[@Woodrowtracy]

12 points from Azerbaijan :) hope you guys will make a better choice next year though. the reason it didn't make to final are: song was not in English, yeah maybe for Brits it's good to listen to non-English songs but not for whole Europe, also this was the first act, they don't have much of chance in general and before Eurovision, the song didn't promote well. see you next year in Baku! :)

[@74snobben]

Good song song,from Norway..

[@otaku000000005]

It's a very good song *-* I can't stop listening :D Go Poland!:))Greatings from Hungary!!:) Lengyel-magyar két jó barát,együtt harcol s issza borát!!:)))

[@Peadar2000]

Poland's best ever entry! I hope it qualifies and does well :)

[@mrgames2775]

Omg this hasn't aged well lol

[@thegreatbungholio21]

Polish women are BEAUTIFUL! And the song is great too!

[@Niki91-HR]

finally someone sings in his language :)))) good songs greetings from croatia :)

[@leszekstefaniak6377]

Ostatnie miejsce w konkursie? dziekujemy bardzo Europo, żenada to jedyne słowo które przychodzi mi na myśl. Gratulacje za super występ Pani Magdaleno, my i tak jestesmy bardzo dumni z naszej rodaczki, wszystkiego dobrego, pozdrawiam

[@LeonardBlyx]

I really, really love this song, and Magdalena too. Especially at 1.01 she is so lovely

[@ninajagiello1874]

Poland did so well here, shame that it didn't get any further ! What the fuck were the judges looking for? good music good performance well done!

[@ephence]

It was one of my favourites , she deserved to be at top3 , greets from Turkey

[@terracottagazebos]

Good luck Poland. Any title with Jestem deserves to win. Still gutted the highly talented Anna Maria Jopek who sang Ale Jestem ( THE BEST EVER EURO ENTRY EVER) only came tenth all them years ago when you were robbed by a canadian who won for the UK. I'm British but love you Poles.

[@Strevien]

last place :s why?

[@DaniellaHabib]

Polish people are so beautiful!

[@Sagittarius4life]

Die schönste Frau des Contests mit dem besten Song und der besten Stimme fliegt .... Wie geht das T_T ...

[@Tori__-qf1ib]

A uwazam ze piosenka byla bardzo dobra no ale coz nie wszystkim sie podobala jednak

[@simekbartek1417]

Była wyciszona spiewała jako 1 w 1 półfinale :) i coś było

[@eggliker69]

Jestem... *słodkie*

[@zuzannastatucka7137]

Magda jest po prostu świetna :) Kocham ją i jej piosenkę ;* Serdecznie pozdrawiam :D

[@ephence]

It's just a pity that a great song like this didnt qualify ! I love it ! greets from Turkey :)

[@Gregory98]

I respect that she sings in Polish, her native language.

[@oneslovenian]

Simple radio song, which i actually liked and still like. Too bad we Slavs are always underrated, even though in many parts of life are far better then our pedigreed western EU brothers, ;-) it's the same story with the language. If she had sung in English it would have been a lot different and of course if she weren't polish = slav = former slave; maybe we live in 2015, but like it or not history is always with us, especially here in Europe.

[@matchwat9127]

+oneslovenian dont worry, our time is comming

[@MrStergius]

Fortunately, there are some nations which are really proud for their Slavic blood, UNLIKE Macedonians, who feel ashamed of it...

[@maijasii]

this is totally my favourite!!!!!! i haven't listened all the songs but those what i had, this is the best =) greetings from finland!

[@tteerrllaann]

love Poland love Magdalena fromAzerbaijan

[@vikicole]

you aare the best I love you Magdalena, congratulations from Spain

[@DracoDesigns2010]

How did this come last? I have this song on my ipod, without knowing what country it came from, and i was shocked to find out it was this! This was my favourite song from 2011! Hi from UK :)

[@JanErik.]

Cant believe this song didnt make it to the final

[@oallaa13]

Eurowizja jest przecież "imprezą" polityczną, a nie muzyczną! Czytałam gdzieś, że przez pierwsze pół godziny trwania tej imprezy nie można było głosować, a jak wiemy, polska reprezentantka występowała jako pierwsza. Mimo wszystko, gratuluję. Udana piosenka, wpada w ucho.

[@YousifMohamedabdessalam-yi1se]

Esta canción polaca la escuchaba en mi adolescencia cuando tenia los 16 añitos y todavía me gusta escucharla

[@09280215]

beautiful lady

[@maijasii]

12 points from Finland!! I REALLY, REALLY hope that this will be in top5!!!!!! Poland and Ireland will rock this year ;)

[@Carolyn1202]

Beautiful song ! Way to go Poland!!!

[@aneasylvania5159]

This got last place? Why? This is a great song! Oh, and too all those wondering about the song meaning, here's the translation... eurovision . tv / event / lyrics? event = 1533 & song = 26033 & type = English Minus all the spaces.

[@rklabacha]

I like this... 12 points from Spain. Eurovision 2012 Poland !!!

[@shngain100]

i would prefer a eurovision contest where all the participant countries sang in their native tongues rather than english

[@goodmusicesc9077]

maxim100 Me too...

[@mjm3091]

England isn't doing well and they always sing in english. Native english won't help them if the song is bad or not likes. And don't Irish people have the other language out there?

[@beatricezamuner7846]

Amazing song. Stupid ESC

[@thegreatbungholio21]

She is gorgeous. Great song too. I hope she comes out with an album even though she didn't officially win.

[@leahrowden3939]

So cool…

[@GoggleBud]

I love this song 12 point from the UK

[@MCRHunter]

@TheMonrose18 Nie wiem czy jesteś z polski ale jak to przeczytałem, to musze dać komentarz. Ja nie traktuje eurowizji jako konkursu, ja to traktuje jako wielki pokaz talentów. Z każdym rokiem ludzie pokazują coraz lepsze głosy. W tym trzeba widzieć zabawę, a nie konkurencje, I bądźmy optymistami ;D

[@XCougar85X]

No idea what she sings, but it is a nice tune. And she is kind to the eye.

[@Geosoria]

Kocham...

[@almightytrollgod]

Very nice Poland. Good luck from Serbia.

[@marksmanb727]

She is gorgeous and the song is great, go Poland ! :D

[@szalaypeti]

Great, nice, 12 points from Hungary

[@Jakerski]

one of my favourites this year!

[@HardlyBoring1]

can't beleive this came last in the first semi final

[@lovemolkoplacebo]

It's a great song, and this woman is soo beautiful. Anyway, I love Poland, I have friends from there. :) We're different, but it's the beauty of life! So, stop it now. Love from Hungary.

[@561Renata]

It's very good.. 12 point from the Lithuania : ))

[@aniafryzel]

Piękny ma głos

[@FelaIgjen]

Thank you, guys, for all your warm comments :) It's really nice to see how many people like our song. Let's bring Eurovision 2011 to Poland! Greets :)

[@astralrock]

Good Polska Slavyani. Greetings from Serbia!

[@giuliodf]

@TheGirlclover a famous italian singer fabrizio de andrè one time said" to exchange our opinion or sell potatoes is better to know the other's language, but for express ourselves and our art is better to use our own language!"

[@gabosh]

i think polish is funny (as I am Slovak myself), yet I definitely like it a lot. I understand around 80% and it feels quite great... :) Go Magda!

[@112392atpolskaurl]

Uwielbiam być polskim love this piosenki i Love being polish love this songs. Tomasz Jamesa Falkowski.

[@66Joss]

I don't understand anything...but the song still sounds good. Greetings from Croatia.

[@kapsjel]

piosenka o niebo lepsza niż ta rok temu!

[@NextGenerationStuff]

I'M POLISH AND PROUD!!! :D

[@ephence]

It was the best in 2011 ! 12 points from Turkey!

[@ainayuma]

Bardzo fajna piosenka ,łatwo wpada w ucho i nie chce wypaść z głowy - o takie piosenki właśnie chodzi ! 👏👏 Jeszcze raz gratuluję tak udanej produkcji ! ♡💕💎🔥

[@Demidoffable]

It's the greatest song of the Eurovision - 2011

[@kamilaostlund]

Super !! Poland -3 Polska

[@LeahhKL]

Finally! An actual SONG will b sang in this SONG CONTEST

[@kumagorox3]

i didn't understand her but she's very beautiful and the song sounds very good! :D

[@CrabMusicCrabMusic]

complex structure for the verse, very good. very good

[@30mounir]

good song poland greets from holland ps 12 points

[@codrumd]

Let's face it, this contest was never bout talent. Scandinavians vote for Scandinavians. Germans vote for Austrians. Former soviet countries vote for Russia, and the other way around. Balkanians vote for Balkanians etc. Even tho I don't listen to such music, I still think it deserved to get to the finals.

[@SusaaaLiebtKekse]

polska jest najlepszym krajem na eurowisji!!!

[@shatalg]

@terracottagazebos thanks, much appreciated. -Poland

[@AwayElli]

WOW, I've have no idea of what she is singing! BUT I LOVE IT!

[@ariannabanane]

I loved the performance & the costumes.. everything was really good!! Powerful voice too! Why??? :(

[@stilldreaming15]

AWESOME! SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT!

[@yusef3860]

Te amoo muchísimo Paula ❤❤❤ ojalá que vuelvas pronto te extraño muchísimo

[@juleczkamazurkiewicz4534]

❤️😘

[@narlth]

I may not understand it but I like it, good luck from the UK :D

[@overm1nd88]

Nice girl, nice song.

[@missbasia1122]

And just so you know I am from Poland and I didn't like this song or any other. While I was watching this contest I was dying inside every minute about it. I wish that Eurovision was only about REAL music someday. And also I would love to see all of these beutiful countries;) Greeting from Poland!

[@phillies4eva]

I hope this song wins. I'm from america and this is the best so far, I have no idea what she is saying but I'm sure it probably is something like: "Lets get fucked and hit the club"

[@elliebabexo]

no clue what she's saying but she's very beautiful ;) .

[@HeavenlyGaze]

super!!!! :)
