It looks like the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 might have a familiar face from the United States gracing its stage. Word has it that none other than JoJo Siwa, a popular US media personality, is in talks to possibly represent Poland in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. The 21-year-old star, who rose to fame on the hit show Dance Moms, confirmed on TikTok that she has been approached by Poland after her song Yesterday's Tomorrow's Today went viral in the country.
JoJo has been sharing her excitement on social media, posting videos of her travels to Poland and even singing some of her song Karma in Polish. She revealed that she has Polish roots on her father's side and considers her heritage to be a significant part of her family's history and culture. Her announcement comes after she faced criticism from the LGBTQ+ community for some controversial comments and for supposedly copying Miley Cyrus in her "bad girl" persona.
When asked about her potential participation in Eurovision, JoJo playfully responded that she happens to be Polish and is having a lot of fun with the idea. She also mentioned being in talks with the organizers and representatives from Poland, as each country has the final say in who they send to the competition. Fans can even join the excitement by joining Metro's Eurovision community on WhatsApp, where they can receive updates, behind-the-scenes gossip, and even vote for their favorites.
JoJo's father's Polish heritage is a significant part of her family, and she has been enjoying the opportunity to explore her roots further. She shared that it all started when someone asked her if she would participate in Eurovision, to which she jokingly responded yes. But now, it seems like it could become a reality, and the Eurovision team has been in talks with her and the Polish representatives. However, they are still in the early stages of planning, and there are many logistical details to work out.
The Agency reached out to Eurovision for comment and to inquire about JoJo's eligibility to compete. The young star has been a bit of a controversial figure lately and has faced backlash for some of her actions while promoting her new pop career. Last year, Luna represented Poland in Eurovision with the song The Tower, but unfortunately, she did not qualify for the finals.
In an interview with Billboard, JoJo shared that she wanted to start a new genre of music when she signed with Columbia Records, and she called it "gay pop." She later clarified that it was like K-pop but with a gay twist. However, her statement did not sit well with the LGBTQ+ community, and she faced immediate backlash for it. Despite the criticism, JoJo seemed to enjoy it and even expressed her desire to have a "Miley Bangerz" moment in her career.
This year, the Swiss entry Nemo won the competition with the song The Code. And for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in 2025, the Grand Final will take place in Basel, Switzerland at the St Jakobshalle arena on May 17th. Fans can tune in to BBC One and iPlayer to watch the exciting event.
