After the results were announced, social media was flooded with opinions - both supportive and critical. While many fans praised Luna's performance, others criticized her vocals, stage presentation, and costume choices. "I think her voice sounded great, but she seemed to avoid those high notes," one supporter commented, while another criticized her costume: "It's neither pleasant nor respectful to see international songs representing Poland with costumes that have nothing to do with our rich folkloric heritage."

Musician Ralph Kamiński also posed a question: "After rewatching all the performances, I wonder if Luna deserved to make it to the finals." Despite the mixed reception, fans remained optimistic about Luna's musical future, with some urging her to keep pursuing her dreams.

Luna managed to secure her place in Eurovision through the Polish national selection organized by TVP (Telewizja Polska). The five-member committee consisting of Łukasz Pieter, Michał Hanczak, Kasia Moś, Konrad Szczęsny, and Piotr Klatt selected Luna as the winner, edging out Justyna Steczkowska’s "WITCH-ER Tarohoro." Despite her early success, Luna failed to shine in the competitive Eurovision semi-final.

The second semi-final took place on May 9, with representatives from 16 countries fighting for a spot in the final. Unfortunately, Luna was not among them, as the competition included Malta, Albania, Greece, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Denmark, Armenia, Latvia, San Marino, Georgia, Belgium, Estonia, Israel, Norway, and the Netherlands. France, Spain, and Italy, as members of the 'Big Five,' are guaranteed places in the final alongside Sweden, the host nation.

Luna's disappointing result in the Eurovision contest has sparked a lively discussion about Poland's representation in future competitions. While opinions are divided on Luna's performance, the consensus remains that she gave her all, representing her nation with passion. As Poland looks ahead to future Eurovision contests, the selection process and strategies will be closely scrutinized to ensure that the next representative can capture hearts across Europe.
