Lidia Kopania, singer (Poland), 26/04/2009

Lidia Kopania from Poland is a versatile singer with a broad four-octave vocal range. She performs different songs, sometimes calm and mood, and sometimes extremely dynamic. Lidia's lyrics, both Polish and English ones, move and encourage reflections, from which we usually run away.

She has released three albums so far: 'Beating the morning rush' (2004), 'Intuicja" (2006) and 'Przed Świtem' (2008). In 2009 Lidia was chosen to represent Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow.

When you cried last time and, if no secret, for what reason?


It was at the Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection concert when I learnt that I won. I did not expect it at all and probably it was the reason why I cried. Besides it was such a stressful moment to wait for the results and hear that I was chosen. I could not believe my ears so I started crying. And fortunately it was by reasons of astonishment and happiness.


There are some events during our life, when it seems as there is no way out. That could be tragic circumstances or such assessment of them. At that time, what's the thing to do?


For me there is no universal solution in some tragic situations, not at first, for sure. I always have to sit alone with the problem, think about it for some time. It can even take a few long, exhausting days but finally I can see good and bad points of the situation, assess them and find out methods to cope with them. It makes me be active in difficult situation because I always have to do something. Simply I cannot wait passively for what is going to happen to me without my involvement.


Could you please choose any event of last days, weeks or months, that has distressed you? It can be any happening on a local or international scale. How could you comment on it?


I do not want to talk about a specific situation but such things happen. Sometimes people can cause difficult and unpleasant situations to make you feel embarrassed and hopeless but now I know that you cannot give them any satisfaction and let them show that you feel like that. I will never get used to such people's behaviour.


There's always a new danger watching for humanity in its way, always a new temptation we're ready succumb to. What's the danger of our days? And what's the way to avoid this trap?


For me the biggest temptation is the Internet. I can spend hours digging in its resources which is very time-consuming. Therefore, it can be dangerous as it steals our precious time and makes us be more isolated from the others.

I think that work is a kind of cure to avoid it, to avoid any temptation of our times. You cannot spend so much time on your pleasures because you have to complete some other important tasks as well as you can.


What are the main obstructions to apply humanities principles at our today's life? Could they be solved?


In my opinion, there is one main obstacle. People do not struggle enough to apply the right principles. It means that they do not really want to stick to some rules, they only pretend to do so, saying it aloud but it is too little. I think that if we have some ideas, beliefs and even dreams we should not abandon them even though they appeared difficult to achieve. For me, consistency in acting can solve many problems and it is the motto of mine.

don't think so. maybe it's not very original, maybe standard... but the vocal is quite satisfactory, and of course not worst than Kate Ryan or Sakis Rouvas sounding live! i'm sure, even much better...... so the most terrible thing is when someone is sure, his experience of 'worst' and 'terrible' is interesting for others.... he's wrong.

Actually her song "i dont wanna leave" is one of the worst eurovision songs that i have ever heard in my whole 'eurovision life' and her vocal is terrible.
