The Live-On-Tape performance for Poland’s Eurovision 2022 entry has been revealed.
During Jaka To Melodia? last week, the Live-On-Tape performance of Ochman’s “River” was shown. This performance was a backup and was to be played if Ochman or the delegation couldn’t make it to Turin for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Ochman finished 12th in the Grand Final for Poland with the song “River”. This is the best result for Poland in the competition since 2016 when Michał Szpak placed 8th in Stockholm.

Poland debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 alongside a number of other Eastern European countries. Their debut year saw their best result to date, as Edyta Gorniak finished in 2nd place with her song “To nie ja!”. Following this, Poland failed to repeat this initial success, managing a top 10 placing on only one other occasion during their initial 1994-2011 run in the contest. In 2012, following a string of non-qualifications, Poland withdrew from the contest due to financial difficulties. Since their return in 2014, they have been considerably more successful in the contest, having qualified for the final for every year up to 2017.
