Viki Gabor, the young Polish singer who gained widespread recognition after winning the 2019 Eurovision Junior with her hit "Superhero," recently found herself at the center of controversy over her seemingly confusing remarks during an interview. Known for her captivating performances and engaging personality, Gabor has captivated audiences since her breakout moment on "The Voice Kids" back in 2018. But her recent interview at RMF FM raised eyebrows and sparked debate among fans and social media users alike.
During the interview, shared widely on TikTok, Gabor was asked several straightforward questions. One notable moment came when she responded to the question about whether she often loses things. "Ja cały czas coś gubię. Dzisiaj błyszczyk zgubiłam. Szukałam go ponad 10 minut, a okazało się, że jest w mojej kieszeni," she confessed, humorously detailing her hunt for lip gloss, which turned out to be right where she had left it—in her pocket.
While this lighthearted admission was relatable, it was her subsequent comments on her personal flaws and strengths where the confusion began. When asked about her weaknesses, Gabor stated, "Wada... Myślę, że po prostu kocham spać i to czasami jest dla mnie problem, po prostu. Bo zawsze muszę wstawać z rana i to jest masakra." ("A flaw... I think I just love sleeping, and sometimes it’s a problem for me, really. Because I always have to get up early, and it’s terrible.") With such candor, she endeared herself to some viewers, yet others began to question the logic of her statements.
Then, turning to her strengths, she declared, "Myślę, że jestem pracoholikiem. Myślę, że to jest dobra rzecz jednak. Moim zdaniem... Bo lubię pracować. Lubię to, co robię," ("I think I’m a workaholic. I think it’s actually a good thing, in my opinion... Because I like to work. I love what I do.") This assertion seemed to contradict her earlier admission about her love for sleep. Many fans took to social media, left puzzled by her contrasting identities as both a sleep-lover and self-proclaimed workaholic. Questions began to circulate: How could one be so dedicated to work yet struggle with rising early?
The comments section exploded with reactions ranging from amusement to outright ridicule. Fans expressed their bewilderment, with comments like, "Kocha spać, ale jest jednocześnie pracoholikiem?" ("Loves to sleep but is also a workaholic?") and "Ona gada, jakby coś jadła przy okazji tego wywiadu" ("She talks as if she was eating something during the interview"). These humorous takes highlighted not only the fanbase’s concern for Gabor but also the layered complexity of her responses.
The ensuing discussions online accentuated how interviews can shape public perception, especially for young celebrities still finding their voice. Gabor’s blend of humor and honesty resonates with many, yet it also reveals the scrutiny young stars face, with every word analyzed under the public’s microscope.
Despite the mixed reactions, there was no denying Gabor's magnetic presence and musical talent. Fans remain supportive, reminding commenters of her achievements and potential beyond her interview performance. Viki Gabor continues to be recognized as one of Poland's most promising artists, blending pop music with themes of youth and love, and it is likely this incident will become just another chapter in her young career.
Only time will tell how this moment will affect Gabor's image moving forward. For now, she remains focused on her music, continuing to release tracks and perform, embodying the spirit of youthful ambition and creativity.
