There are two great Polish singers and they are both very pretty and so lovely and both named Edyta: Edyta Kulczak singing classical music and Edyta Gorniak singing pop/soul.

Scott Andrew Hutchins, bass in NYC
Heard you in La Traviata on the radio. You were wonderful! I'm in it in the Bronx.

Seamus from Jersey
Ms. Kulczak is brilliant. The next truly great singer of the world.

Robert a Tenor in NYC
Edyta will you marry me? You are lovely!

Seb - London
Couldn't agree more. An obvious finalist. Such idiosyncratic judging this year. Very upsetting to see such a wonderful performer and musician not go through. Felt the same about the Netherlands entrant.

Brigitte from London
Fully agree with Pamela and Barbara Bonney: not only should this singer have won the concert, but she should also have been chosen for the final round. The Russian singer had a huge voice, but was nowhere near Edyta Kulczak's range, modulation and powers of interpretation. A great shame indeed.

Pamela O'Cuneen from Kent
This lady is the most fantastic singer of the competition. Her performance on the last night of the competition was 99% perfect and she should be the overall winner. Another example of the peculiar judging this year !

Cheryl from NYC
Edyta, you were luminous! A beautiful artist!
