Unspeakably, horribly bad.

Re: CROATIA 2011 - Daria Kinzer - Break A Leg

I feel l'm just hearing a voice when I'm watching the video rather than actually listening to a singer perform. The song is not bad at all (good beat, somewhat clever lyrics), it's the presentation of the song that makes me not like it too much. I'm really in the middle for this one

I will say this one more time. It's weird, but I like English version more than Croatian. And it suits Daria better. I'm curious about German version. At least we know, Daria won't have problems with German language :mrgreen: :lol:

For those who haven't seen NF, this song got the most votes from televoting :)

I listened to the studio version which I must say is a whole lot better than the live performance and I actually kinda liked the song. But the singer needs to work on her singing cause the vocals were just all over the place. So basing it purely on the video the song may climb in my ranking from 3 points to 5 1/2 (since I can't vote again it doesn't matter anyway :)

It's confirmed that Boris Đurđević (the composer of this song) will change the lyrics a bit in the english version, so the title ''Break a leg'' could be changed too. As his deadline is March 14th, it must be done within the next week. Also, Daria said they'll improve the coreography a lot.

Anyway, I like this song very much, as should everyone who likes dance and other electronic genres. Yes, it sounds somewhat 90's, but that's the style Boris always used.

The song is nothing special and she's horrible singing. I've watched some semifinals and most eliminated singers sing better than Daria. How come? :?

I like it alot. I'm very glad we are sending a fast song again after years of ballads (that did bad on ESC!).

This song is really great and I like her singing - I cannot understand, that some poeple here are saying that her voice isn´t good enough. I enjoyed her singing and I think she looks really great. About the performance: of course, it will change untill May. This wasn´t the final performance. On Saturday it was important to win and not to decide about the performance on stage. I´m sure, that it will be one of the best songs this year at the end.

Anyone have the studio version ?

Daria and Boris are guests today on "Narodni Radio" so I'll try to record it :D

Well I don't really prefer the English version, since I'm not feeling the lyrics. But strangely her voice sounds better in English. I understand the Break the leg-part but I don't think it fits. Also, it reminds me of a 90's Cher-song. a 3

English version of "Stotinama Godina" is called "Compas" (if I heard good :?)
Btw, the lyrics will be changed, the title will be "Break A Leg" (it won't be changed)

Frankly, I'd like some unusual version. For instance French. She speaks French, it would suit it great

Re: CROATIA 2011 - Daria Kinzer - Break A Leg

I can't wait to hear that new english version with changed lyrics, it will be done this week... And yes, they should KEEP the title ''Break a leg'' - no one can forget it, it already became super-popular ;)

By the way, Andrea Čubrić (author of the lyrics) said that she chose the phrase ''break a leg'' because it's intriguing, and rarely or never been used before. She tried numerous other phrases, but it simply didn't sound good overall.

It's still a great song, the more I listen, the more I like.

And I think it sound silly to use the phrase "break a leg". To me it sounds the same if she would sing "pick your nose".

(The phrase "break a leg" is being used in The Netherlands to and it always gives me icky feelings, but maybe it's just me.)

OK, the composer just said on the radio that they will definitely change ''break a leg'' into something different. We can just wait now...
