🇵🇱 Jann Gladiator Reaction | Poland Eurovision 2023 national final

[@fufi2238]

I'm so pissed off and I'm not even from Poland. Jann and Gladiator had everything you need for Eurovision success. There's no way Blanka could actually win, like NO WAY. Something went really wrong. Poles, fight for you freedom of speech and democracy.

[@kikyosaka1900]

Samee 😭. He was obviously very nervous because it was his first big performance, but the song is so unique and powerful. He would certainly improve until Eurovision, I can't believe juries didnt have faith in him 😕

[@wild3estdreams10]

This was his first live television performance and he did such an amazing show. It's such a shame he will not represent us in Eurovision. I think about it every day how much of a worldwide (or at least european) career he would have got if TVP production did not rig it. It's painful but it is how it is in this country.

[@jolantaanasiewicz5234]

Jann actually wrote this song all by himself! It's his satiric view on corrupted music industry, and how some people reject all moral and ethical principles in order to become famous & get the attention. Ironically, this song depicts exactly what happened with polish national final last sunday:)

[@theincomparablemess]

I'm still not over that drama with Poland, I'm still so sad because Jann in my opinion could have been the best result for Poland this century. So much attitude, charisma, stage presence. He might have been nervous so that explains his vocals being shaky a bit but guys - it was hist first tv performance. And that last note, omg he NAILED it! I can't stop watching that performance, it would have looked amazing in Liverpool. I've never been this gutted about anyone nonqualifying from national selection but this is the biggest robbery ever. Poland 🇵🇱 I'm so gutted and we are with you. I've been so heartbroken since Sunday that words can't even express it.

[@roro-xq4jz]

The same... We should not forget that the audio transmitted by the broadcaster was badly mixed, on recordings from the audience smartphones everything do sound better! I think that he was simply happy about the fans' support in the studio, and he could not suppress the smile and maybe this were these shaky moments :)

[@theincomparablemess]

I'm not gonna lie - I prefer that performance than studio version. I JUST LOVE THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE because we get to see Jann's charisma and I absolutely enjoy watching him on stage. I'm still shocked because he would have been my winner this year which (to me) has never happened before. (placing Poland as a winner)

[@candyflossofdoom5148]

Yeah and I fully agree with Deban that what Jann might have been missing vocally he fully compensates in like all the other areas of movement, passion, wardrobe etc.

[@mjm3091]

Definitely not a century - he easily could hit a strong top 10 this year. But I don't think any of the entries this year had a chance to actually win. He was a better and more fair option though. Hopefully EBU does open investigation, cause there is just too many issues with this event.

The production had a sound issue, his microphone was louder than the music so it sounded like karaoke. Once you realise that this is the issue, you realise that he’s an amazing performer. Also, I saw recordings from the audience in the hall, and he sounded amazing in these recordings. The production probably lowered the music for the TV viewers, but that's not how it sounded in the hall, so there is a mismatch between his singing and the background music.

[@wild3estdreams10]

everyone had 9 days to prepare performances so let's be real, if Jann won he would have gotten rid off his breathing problems. His song is harder to both sing and dance, Blanka's song isn't hard to sing at all. Also he sang in national opera when he was 12 so he definitely can sing.

[@arvadekadava3198]

The sound on TV was terrible in comparison to the videos shot in the studio. And I think it's worth mentioning, Blanka had been working on her dance for a month or even longer, she performed the song many times on TVP. Jann and his team did the staging in just a few days

according to unofficial reports (TVP still has not published the detailed voting results or the results of the jury members), Jann won over 50% of all viewers' votes. Jann is a representative whom Poles have chosen and want. Blanka is a representative of the government television TVP, which is not the first time she manipulates the results. The jury's votes show that they either wanted Blanka to win or they didn't want Jann to win. Warner Music Poland could also be involved.

[@berlineczka]

Well, he only had 10 days to prepare it all, and he's from a small independent label so there is no big team or budget behind him.If he had won, he would have perfected the performance, cut back on some moves to improve sound, etc. Unfortunately, we will never see it. Also, there were some big issues with the sound in the studio, for most of the participants - there was too much compression, separation between the vocals and backing tracks, too loud vocals as compared to the backing track, and the mics were picking up things they shouldn't be picking up, like the breathing sounds.

[@patrycja2164]

Honestly? My first reaction was skeptical too and that's despite all the research I did on Jann and his approach to his work before the show, but the more I watch it, the more I realize every single move, camera shot and the way every single line sounds was way more intentional that it felt at first.... also, the voice changes, woooow. The way the guy not only can sing, but also convey so much through manipulating his voice on such nuanced level, the way he builds the tension and manages to make it look completely effortless, like he just ran on the stage and went for it.. out of this world.

[@patrycja2164]

The song is a commentary on the dark side of showbusiness, including the importance of having connections. The full quote of the "savour it" part is "I'm picking your new favorite, you buy it and I savour it", which, in terms of how pulling the strings in this world works, feels very ironic and meta, given the whole scandals. Like... that's basically what TVP tried to do with all this heavy promotion for Blanka. Just to clear up :) Thank you for this video, guys. You have no idea how much it means to Poles.

JOINT STATEMENT OF THE POLISH EUROVISION MEDIA As we announced, on behalf of the community of fans and journalists dedicated to the Eurovision Song Contest, we have sent an appeal to the President of Telewizja Polska S.A., Mr Mateusz Matyszkowicz, to take a stand on the doubts that have arisen over the course of the Polish preselection "Tu bije serce Europy! Wybieramy hit na Eurowizję" 2023. We referred to specific points of the preselection's rules, SMS voting and the Eurovision Song Contest itself, as well as other formal and ethical issues related to the course and results of the contest. We make the contents of the appeal available to the public.

[@AgnessaMo]

To me the funniest thing about it all is how Blanka was heavily promoted on the radio, on TV, with sponsored posts and billboards on subway stations, while Jann was a "nobody", a relatively beginning indie artist, whose only promotion was the word of mouth... in a 11 days between the artists announcement and the show... and yet he crushed the televoting. Right now from a "nobody" he turned to an artist with a number 1 viral song on Spotify, he sold out 5 shows in like 10 hours, his song is the one youtubers around the world prefer to react over the "winning one". Quality prevails, people!

[@berlineczka]

He has like 6 songs in the Spotify Viral 50 list right now in Poland, Gladiator being on spot #1. He is also charting on the viral lists in several countries. i.e. Ukraine, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. Sweden also invited him to the Melfest WKND pre-party, so... I guess he already won, even if he didn't.

He literally laughs right before 'I know it's kinda funny' xd

[@patrycja2164]

Also, it is miles away from how he really laughs/smiles... he says himself that during the peformance he is "in-character"... and then some of the "shouty" verses are either a matter of conveying the emotion behind the lyrics like in a theatre performance or separating parts of the song to give it more texture (like between the chorus and the rap part and then between the rap part and the high note)

I can't agree that Jann and Blanka have the same vocal level. Maybe Jann wasn't perfect, but actually I think that at the end of the performance he showed great skills.

[@jolantatruszczynska8935]

[@mar97216]

I don’t think the vocals were comparable with Blankas. He struggled a bit but his amazing vocals also shine through. It was only in parts it wasn’t great, plus he was having a full cardio work out on stage so now wonder. Also singing while laying down is difficult. If he had won I know he would have nailed it for the finale. No doubt.

[@berlineczka]

This. On top of that, his song is extremely challenging vocally. Chest voice, falsetto, whistle voice, mixed voice with and without belting, rapping, all while moving through 3 octaves, crazy vocal dynamics and tonal switches, and not much time to catch a breath in between. And he dances like crazy on top of that. Blanka's is a mid-tempo, not-much-text basic song within one octave range and one single technique (or rather "technique", cause I do not think she actually has any) - all in chest voice (with some random, likely uncontrolled and unintentional mixed voice points), terrible mannerisms (Beeeybe), terrible articulation ("spell it ouuu"), being out of breath from the very beginning of the song, missing verses (e.g. before the human centipede moment the backing vocals are singing, but she is not) and messing up lyrics (in the final chorus she sings "sholo, solo", cause she likely mixes it up with "show ya, show ya"). Not singing the first song and the other song perfectly is not the same thing. Jann can easily sing Blanka's song. Blanka will not be able to even begin to sing Jann's. He also has the skills, so all he needed was more rehearsing and adjusting, so that his dancing does not compromise his singing. She would have to learn how to sing from scratch in two months.

[@deedee2]

LOL he didn't even win because of the jury riggage. It's Chanelle all over again but the thing is that Solo is not SloMo. OMG, that girl (Blanka) cannot sing live. Someone auto tune her Eurovision performance ASAP. It was like a bad karaoke night.

Actually TVP posted a version which they mixed wrongly the vocals. They increased his mic levels and lower the instrumentals. I have heard his voice from a phone recording and he was on point and he didn't miss one note. I really think they put his recording worse and they auto tuned Blanka's. I have seen straight after the show Blanka's performance out of tune and then 3 days later they replaced to a version with her voice fixed. This is true. Singer here.

I love that not only people from poland love him

[@azra8822]

Thanks you for this video. It's very importamt for Polish eurovision fans to maintain Buzz around this because TVP, Warner Music and Blanka are trying to wait IT out.

I would kill for a collaboration between Jann feat. Hatari. This is wild. So good 😢

[@Baiami26]

Okay, I didn't know that I need that. Now I know 😳

[@stin_irch]

@@Baiami26 haha sorry, didn't want to trigger anyone ,:D but a collab would be great

[@Baiami26]

@@stin_irch Yees, I would totally love to see that! Let's hope for that in the future 😄🤞

@@Baiami26 Jann feat. Hatari - ,,Engann Miskunn Gladiator" we are hoping for it 😀

[@FeeESC]

And luke black pls 🤞🏾

[@aniakwapisz4086]

Thanks for your video. I don't want to justify Jann's struggle with vocal, but in TV it sounded worse, that was his first ever performance in TV, and was smiling maybe because of stress. I'm sure he will work on it till May 🥲

[@aniakwapisz4086]

Sorry, he would work...

[@CoCaSilvia]

I think he was smiling because of the lyrics, it' s ironic.

Only Jann - Poland free, eurovision 2023

[@domiiinik4320]

This would've been 1000x better than Solo, because the only thing he would've work on is breath control and voila - we have a strong top 10 in the final candidate But TVP of course thought differently

[@Meryemb87]

I feel sorry for the Polish fans, this is so much better than Blanka and you deserved better 😭

[@juzual4251]

The best way to see whether Jann struggles with vocals is to watch him on chillizet live session, singing his song Promise. I have to say, this is not my favourite performance of his. Tvp definitely messed up the sound for the national finals. Also he is performing more as a live concert than a tv performance, I am sure he would have eventually found a solution. Now I am just happy to go see him on his tour in Poland.

I bet that the Polish jury was just a bunch of conservative pensioners. The same thing was with Latvia for a long time, when the jury was comprised of opera singers, conductors and some other people in their 80s. What can you expect from such a jury? Just from seeing this they couldn't sleep for a week.

This song is about corruption in show business. Funny, considering current situation in Poland, isn't it?

[@fortymillioncoins9066]

BRILLIANT- I love it! It should have won- GREAT CHARISMA also!

[@itsmichalbitch]

Nemo „The Code” stole Jann’s composition, it’s the same! has pop, rap, opera, high notes at the end, starts with the same words, Jann would’ve slayed in 2023

[@marsh2741]

So glad you guys reacted to this, was hoping you would! The polish jurys just need to accept something bold and out there for once. Even if his vocals aren't perfect here, they're still pretty amazing and his presence is perfect!! Everything could have been honed before the big show, its his first ever tv performance AND i think the sound quality of the whole competition was a bit off anyway

[@michalina9177]

This was his first performance on TV. He did it without dancers, backing vocals and so on...very sad. Although it is not my type of music, I LOVE THIS

[@emmanuelernandez7067]

I'm so disappointed he couldn't go to Liverpool, So far my favorites songs were from Georgia, Sweden, France, Israël and Austria But actually gladiator is now by far my top 1 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥 Poland what have you done 😲

[@Karmelove907]

Please watch Jann songs! He is amazing and talented. ❤️

[@whitlesss]

Hey just wanna say something about how his vocal sounds. There's a shady thingy because there's a recording made during this performance with a phone camera. His vocals are wayyyymore on point. As if TV messed up sound during his performace. The actual vocal quality was better.
