Croatia CROATIA 2018 - Franka - Crazy

[Eloise]

I like it, but it's not something the voters are going to go for.

 

[aef]

These legs make me kinda uncomfortable. Why are they so...twisted?

Oh WTF... Didn't realize that while watching the video haha

 

[DaFlo]

What is that spoken word part in the middle?

The best part of the song! MC Franka confirmed

 

[Euterpa]

Whaaaaaaat

Yes, that's what the news host said after they played some probably less than one minute insert of the video.

Now I see that the song is finally on YouTube so I'll go listen....FINALLY

 

[Luki]

This is the third year in a row we are sending an out of the box song, and I know the risk will pay off even more than it did with Nina and Jacques. This realistically has both audience and jury potential. I am having my 8th power outage today so I might be a bit confident.

my favorite part too

 

[Jukica]

Hmmm

First part of the song is great (and I like the verses), but the refrain seems like a weakest part of the song for me as well :/ I like it much more than My Friend on first listen, but I'm not sure if I like it more than Lighthouse. Music video is good, finally we have both song and music video premiere together.

Staging will play a big factor here, but I can see this as a sure qualifier and most somewhere in the middle in the final if staging and her performance will be good.

7 pts for now

 

[SwedishFailurez]

I like the pattern HRT goes for. Last year we got a hot mess, this year we will get a cold mess. Go for it Croatia!

Seriously... I agree that the song took off well, but all these monologues, repeating lalalala's and the flatness of the song doesn't do it for me. Only the live show can save this one now.

 

[toinou03]

This is a good song, sexy and interesting, but it''s not so impressive, and I'm not sure it will attract many televotes...

The best part of the song! MC Franka confirmed

I probably have to agree. It was just such a WTF moment though that I was in shock. The weird parts of this song may help me get into it. Nothing like a good random 10 second hip section.

 

[Anthony Tesla]

I swear it, I'm SO tired of that freakin' squeeky voice sound effect all music seems to have nowadays...

...The rest of the song it's so... awkward. The phrasing is weird, the chorus is weak, this could feel REALLY repetitive really fast. And the vocals at the end are good but not good enought to save it.

It's just... meh.

 

[Lupus]

Well I've listened through it twice now. It doesn't start well, she forgets it's a song in the middle (seriously, speaking in the middle of a song? If it was a good idea, then *I* could be singer - I am a great talker!!) The beat is meandering and I think she forgot to make the thing actually interesting as well? :? It's just underwhelming as a song. I can't say I hate it, because that would involve more emotional effort than I'm willing to expend on it and, in fairness, there are some nicer bits. I just don't get it. Would be surprised if it did well, but hey, wouldn't be the first time I've been surprised

 

[Hele.]

I like part that from 2:34 to 2:49 the most and also like a lot parts in verses when she starts "I remember..." but it doesn't last for too long...I'm sad because I can't relate to song of my country...

 

[RainyWoods]

I swear it, I'm SO tired of that freakin' squeeky voice sound effect all music seems to have nowadays...

I agree. End this phase please.

 

[Hele.]

I agree. End this phase please.

And give back that uptemo ethno pop phase in Eastern way (Shake it, My number one, Always...etc) xsobbing

 

[Alaska49]

i really wish the rap-ish section lasted longer it was really good

song's alright overall. my bet for the tinkara memorial "advances to final in 10th, places near last in the final" journey.

 

[John1]

After a few listenings, I don't know whether I should consider this entry as one of the greatest that has ever sent or just a song, which is barely memorable.

 

[Euterpa]

Well...I finally managed to listen to the song and for me... it starts good but then it kind of just stays there. I wish the arrangement was different, that it gains more strength towards the end. It's like she is not giving her best. :/ I hope this will be better performed live. It's an overall good song, maybe it needs a revamp though?

Edit: I also want to add that I'm glad we are finally not trying to add ethnic elements, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are so so much better at that than us. If I like one thing about this song, it is that it has a modern sound. Sometimes I think our artists are stuck in the 90s.

 

[Realest]

Yes, its good enough for the Final. 8 Points.

 

[QwaarJet]

I've already forgotten it, except the spoken part, which is memorable in all the wrong ways.

3 points.

Does anyone actually want to win this year? Good grief.
