2011: Poland's Got Talent

In 2011 Karpienia auditioned for the fourth series of television series Poland's Got Talent. In front of the judges and live audience, he performed "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. He received positive comments from the judges, Agnieszka Chylińska, Małgorzata Foremniak and Robert Kozyra. Kozyra said that he had sung "better than Kings of Leon". He received three yeses and was put through to the next round, and through to the live semi-finals.[2]

Karpienia performed for a second time in the semi-final on 12 November 2011, singing "Desire" by U2. He once again received positive comments from the judges. Piotr received the highest number of votes on the night and was put through to the final.[3][4]

In the final, he performed "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal. He once again received positive comments from all three judges, with judge Robert Kozyra saying it was "the best performance of the night". Later, he lost the final to Kacper Sikora and finished as the runner-up.[5]
