I think that is also worth to mention that biggest regional star - Severina wished good luck to Nina Kraljić tonight! Also, Nina Badrić and Tony Cetinski didn't forget to wish all the best to our Nina! xheart

I understand what you mean but you shouldn't be afraid in "that contest". She might wasn't the best but considering illness I think she gave her best. And she didn't make any big mistake that average viewer could notice IMO. Simply they will like it (song, performance, her voice, etc) or not. We are surely watching her performance under loupe (or magnifier :mrgreen:

). If she could be on her best (physically and psychically) I would be so happy but unfortunately she couldn't! Thank you for giving your best Nina! xheart

I don't know, tweets are not encouraging... Thanks for comforting me, though

Really dissapointed with votes of our neighbors at jury vote...it shouldn't be obvious 8-12 distribution as neighbor friendly but like 4-6 pts AT LEAST to support...but not as near as I expected at televote...who knows if they even voted for us...

Not that dissapointed with final result...I do not care much about it as much as we are in the final. It is not that someone "tomorrow" will remember if you were like 23th or 17th but I'm very dissapointed with the fact of such ignorance of our neighbors...Also, I really think Nina generally deserved more support in jury because of her unique vocals and really beautiful song with MESSAGE! It is very well composed...like what's the message of that Belgium song for example? You never can't blame televoters and what they like or don't like...It was really bad luck for Nina to be overshadowed by televote winner - Russia! Really BAD luck or someone's decision???

Now all the blame to performance and dress obvious as song and Nina are great itself!

That was it, end of our beautiful eurovision journey this year! Nina Kraljić!!! I'm speak to you now from heart!! THANK YOU for THIS EUROVISION EXPERIENCE! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! We know you did your best and everything you could! And thank you SO MUCH for that! You offered all your beauty and uniqueness to us and really amazing and beautiful song of HOPE! And you BRING BACK HOPE to Croatian esc fans! You gave us so much wanted final!! You are very special person that deserves really all the best! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! xheart

My heart is bleeding. I feel sorry for Nina and you guys. This could have been so good.

Euterpa · May 15, 2016

The results of the semis are out. Croatia was 10th and Bosnia and Herzegovina 11th in the first semi. I was sure we placed higher than that. I don't know what to think. I am mad and disappointed at the same time. Russia won the first semi. Serhat placed better than Iceland - so much about #JusticeforGreta.

I don't know who is responsible or why they insisted on playing the final part of the song in the recaps. People are already tired of pretty much every single performer going for the long notes, not to mention that it kinda dries out the melody and makes the song bland when you hear just that part. I guess they though it would stand out because it's "loud", but it did the exact opposite. I feel really bad for Nina, but yeah... I can't say I'm surprised.

And Hungary was 4th :lol:

All songs I wanted through got through, both in semi 1 and semi 2. But I did not expect those placings AT ALL. I guess now I'll just have to wait to see who is crazy - jury or public. Maybe they are both crazy and I just have to wait to find out who is crazier. I'm just in big shock right now. I usually find an explanation to strange things happening but this is just too much :lol:

We've had a chance to see what some juries are like. Although I do want to praise our jury because the scores seemed to be objective.

Hele. · May 15, 2016

OMG, I must say I'm shocked! Nina was out of top 20 by almost all countries in televote!

Only votes as expected by ex-Yu countries: 10 Bosnia, 8 Slovenia, 6 Montenegro, 5 Macedonia, 4 Serbia! She really didn't deserve this

I think she only was 15th in Switzerland and I can't remember any other country that she was in top 20!

LakZaNokte · May 15, 2016

Thanks to everyone who voted for

!

Guess this live wasn't the greatest ever...well, it's still all ok.

It was fantastic to be a part of all this final excitement and that's the only thing I'm keeping from this night, hope we can do at least this good next year

Euterpa · May 15, 2016

Azerbaijan placed 17th and we 23rd. Please someone tell me I'm just having a bad dream and that the real Eurovision final is tomorrow. Please.

Maybe I should just write "molitva" so we all can pray for a mira mira miracle to happen next year and we qualify again and hope in this devastating time that it won't turn out to be "mižerja" again. :? I'm so in shock that I'm talking nonsense...I better just go to sleep as normal people now do :lol:

Edward · May 15, 2016

I did notice her voice flawing twice tonight after having already flawed at least once in the semi. Maybe that influenced the final outcome. It's a shame really because to me this was in this year's top 10. Much more enjoyable to listen to in the album.

I just fastly filtered pts in that excel sheet. Nina got 80 pts from jury in SF 1 (not only got pts from Azerbaijan and Malta from participating countries but also not from Spain and France). Special thanks to fabulous jury from

for their surprising 12! xheart

At televote she had 53 (12 Bosnia & Herzegovina, 8 Montenegro, 6 Austria, 5 The Netherlands xheart

, 4 Greece and Russia, 3 Armenia, 2 Czech Republic, Finland, Moldova, Spain and 1 Cyprus, Spain, Sweden). Thank you all for your points for Nina! xheart

She did not get pts from televote from: Azerbaijan, Estonia, Hungary, Malta, Iceland, San Marino. INTERESTING FACT: In all those countries she was placed 12th in televote! So pretty close xshrug

I find it very weird that we didn't get any points from Malta and Hungary. Malta is usually big fan of Croatia. What about Slovenia, though?
