Re: CROATIA 2018 - Franka Batelić - Crazy

Some of the highlights from the radio show:
- If she could go to past and choose which of her past songs she would the most want to go to Eurovision with, she answered ''Ruža u kamenu''.
- She describes ''Crazy'' as something different, something we wouldn't expect from her, doesn't want to reveal if it's slow or fast
- They have a plan for the staging
- 3 of her favourite ESC songs are Marco Mengoni - L'Essenziale, Marija Šerifović - Molitva and Loreen - Euphoria
- the song will be presented on February 26th

From what I heard so far of her, I like Croatia´s selection this year :-) Hopefully her song won´t disappoint then.

Also, Branimir Mihaljević composed the music and Franka wrote the song lyrics :D they had a few songs, but they decided to choose this one because it was unusual and they liked it a lot :D it's also "love or hate" song, there's no middle :D

Head of Delegation also said that they had a few considerations and that they chose Franka together with HRT's team, Croatian Musical Union and Croatian Association of Songwriters. He also said that she had a prepared team with the song, concept and that she has experience (also, she won on one of Croatian pop idols in 2007 and on OGAE Song Contest in 2008).

BTW, Branimir Mihaljević wrote Feminnem - Lako Je Sve (Croatia 2010) and it seems like that he can write a lot of music styles, so I am staying optimistic for now. :D

And something interesting, Franka actually sang the original demo version of Lahor / Break A Leg / Celebrate / Salad Break (Croatia 2011) :p - https://soundcloud.com/eurosonghr/i-believe-demo-eurosonghr

Damn. I wish we had chosen Crazy now from our NF. So we could stage some dramatic stand off and fight against each other over the next few months. LOST OPPORTUNITY. IOTAP

Well, they changed the plans. The song won’t be released on the 26th, but in March. Instead only the sneak peek will be on the 26th.
But at least the song should now be released together with the music video.

Let them take the time they need to adjust and perfect everything. I don´t mind that.

The only problem is that when songs are postponed, they passively and indirectly create unwanted hype that is then expected to be justified.
And then, if the song doesn´t "click" at the first listen, everyone will say: "So much wait for this"?

I have my fingers crossed that that won´t be happening with us.
