'Mam Talent!' Showcases Incredible Talent Across Generations

The show features inspiring performances from young and old, proving that passion knows no age limits.

The excitement surrounding 'Mam Talent!' continues to grow as its sixteenth season gears up to air on April 5, 2025. The popular Polish talent show, which showcases an array of performances from across the country, promises a night filled with surprises, as viewers can expect everything from acrobatics and dancing to singing and illusion acts. The program, which spans 110 minutes, aims to entertain its audience while highlighting extraordinary talents from all walks of life.

This season, notable appearances include 13-year-old Krystian Leśnik, a talented semi-finalist of the show, who received a standing ovation during his performance at the Wielka Gala Operetkowa im. Wandy Polańskiej in Krakow on March 23, 2025. Jolanta Suder, the gala's host, expressed her hopes for Krystian’s future, stating, "I hope that Krystian Leśnik will make a global career. He is only... just 13 years old, ladies and gentlemen. This is Krystian's first concert with an orchestra." His youthful enthusiasm resonated with the audience, as he noted, "I really like it. I see a lot of beautiful people. Both older and younger."

The gala featured renowned artists, including soprano Sylwia Frączek and tenor Krzysztof Kozarek, performing selections from beloved operettas. The event served not only as a platform for young talent like Krystian but also for seasoned performers who are passionate about engaging the community in the world of classical music.

Among the many surprises of this season, perhaps the most remarkable was the performance by 68-year-old Elżbieta, who has turned heads with her newfound hip-hop skills. After being trained by the well-known fitness coach and dancer Maciej Pela, Elżbieta took to the stage of 'Mam Talent!' and shocked everyone with her energetic routine, surprising both the audience and judges alike. Julia Wieniawa exclaimed, "When you think nothing will surprise you in this show... here they come!" reflecting the unexpected thrill of Elżbieta's performance.

Marcin Prokop, another judge, praised Elżbieta’s captivating moves, stating, "I take back that you're a poodle; you're a real hip-hop cougar!" This enthusiastic reception from both the audience and judges serves as a notable reminder that age is merely a number, and one should pursue newfound passions no matter their stage in life.

The dance that Elżbieta shared on stage erupted across social media, garnering widespread acclaim and inspiring many others of different ages to step outside their comfort zones and try something new. The excitement surrounding her journey highlights the inspirational message 'Mam Talent!' carries: to encourage individuals of all ages to showcase their abilities.

As the season progresses, viewers are eagerly anticipating more performances and the dazzling array of talent that 'Mam Talent!' promises. With Agnieszka Chylińska, Julia Wieniawa, and Marcin Prokop delivering their critiques from the judges' panel and Agnieszka Woźniak-Starak alongside Jan Pirowski hosting, this season is set to be one of unforgettable moments and opportunities for aspiring artists.
