DRAW: Semi 2 (10)
Croatia decided to dispense with the annual Dora contest and announced Nina Badric as their representative. The song is Nebo. I want to say quite early in this that Nina has a wonderful weathered voice and is very pleasant to listen to. I'm sure she is very popular across the Balkans, but Nebo is awful. I can't get into it and I think it will be overshadowed by other songs in a very tough semi final.
I'm sure that when the ESC comes around it will be altered as most entries do and the presentation will be wonderful. At this time though, I can't see it getting out of the semi final.

ESC 2011 #43 - CROATIA: Celebrate - Daria
[rating before - 36th; after - 43rd]
Anything that needs three dress changes within a three minute song to sustain interest is always going to be in trouble.
Croatia held a show to select a singer and somehow incorperated in a song contest as well. What came out of it came 'Lahor', which subsequently became 'Break a leg' which became 'Celebrate'. Again, three changes - more trouble.
To add to viewer grief, they added a man onto the production who I am describing as Willy Wonka from a horror movie (imagine sharp teeth). Daria looked completely uninterested, supposedly because she had no clue what was being sung, eyes glazed over and frowning. The approach of Willy shimming along like a swarmy snake and an impending dress change and you just want to look away in case he does something disgraceful to the poor girl. The last dress change occurred with the use of fireworks, but by then i had visited the toilet and put on a cup of tea.
