At yesterday's jury voting of ESC 2026, I was surprised that Israel got Poland's 12 points as there were so many stronger contestants in terms of song and stage performance in my opinion.

I was wondering if there were any Polish viewers who can give insights into how the 12 points were broken down by the jurors (if at all) in Polish TV/news.

I have visited Poland but I am not familiar with the music scene at all or how representative the Jury's votes were in terms of Polish music tastes or perhaps other attributes that weigh in a lot in Poland (i.e. queerness vs. heteronormativity, modern vs. conventional choreography/stage outfits...).

It would also be great how the jury vote was received in the Polish audience.

Thanks for your insights!

For me id definitely have to say lithuania. i only recently noticed that most of my favs were sent by them??

My fav headcanon is that the "Bussi" Wave this year is premeditated revenge for the "Eat Your Salad" censorship of 2022
