Re: CROATIA 2016

What's the connection between your government and Eurovision?

Didn't Nina already write something about her participation on twitter or facebook?

Let's say that because we don't have a government for 2 months bow, we don't have a state budget for 2016 and HRT gets a lot of money from the state. Basically - money, money, money...

And Nina said she would be honoured to go to Eurovision but she won't say anything else. Not at least this all is finished.

When it's not your broadcaster, it's your government... :lol: Gosh, I begin to think they're secretly expecting a meltdown from us xgaah

That Nina's song better be a masterpiece if this is the reason we're waiting so long.

What happened in 2012? Back then I didn't follow ESC so closely, so I don't remember.

Nina Badric was one of the bigger Croatian artist so everyone was euphoric when she entered.
Then she came up with a lacklustre song and a lacklustre performance and DQ
Literally Trijntje Oosterhuis did a Nina Badric this year

At least Trijntje won the Barbara Dex award and became part of ESC history (granted for the wrong reasons :lol:). Poor Nina was just forgettable on every level :oops:

Re: CROATIA 2016

I was very disappointed with "Nebo" back when it was selected but it's one of those songs that really grew on me after the contest ended

TBH most fans in Croatia wanted "Sanjam da smo skupa mi", but she was stubborn and went for Nebo. And probably it would gone good if she didn't went to that throat surgery which demanded a bit revamp of the song.

I would agree to most of the fans in Croatia... :mrgreen:

Comparing to SDSSM, Nebo is dull and the revamp made her even more dull.

Re: CROATIA 2016

That's why I said that the part after "but" is a big fat lie. :p But they know everything, but they are still messing with our minds.

Ofc they know everything :D
I think they will release the song either in the first The Voice Croatia on 23rd of January or in the first live show. Nina had a gig list for the last 2 months (that ended on 1.1. 2016) so I do not think that they have been working on the song production and recording during that time but the song is 100% written because she announced it in September (Dali B show). She does not have any gigs now and this is the perfect time to record and finish ESC song until the start of the Voice. Because of the nature of the show I expect the song in 23rd of January(first Voice show), 27th of February (first duel show) or 2nd of April (first live show). And if you take in consideration that she needs at least one month to make the studio version and a week for us to take the teaser in the song will come out earliest on 27th of February.

2nd April is too late, and I know that the first TVNGH2 show won't start with her song (because I took part in filming the intro of that show :p ). Who knows, maybe they'll have a special show for the song release?

They can always add her song in one of the voice shows, because they do not go live. I think that it will be part of the voice, it is about promotion of the show. Making the last year winner singing a song for ESC is a great motivation for other contestants too.
Yes 2 april is too late compared to other countries but this is HRT we speak about they do not care for promotion. Another thing is that making a special show to promote ESC song is not cheep and requires a lot of people working on it. And with more people knowing about it its less of a secret.

2nd of april is really impossible, my friend :)
The songs have to be released at the very last on the date of the Delegations meeting in march
(I don't know the date perfectly but it's around the 14th of march I think)

Re: CROATIA 2016

Okay, people here are talking about Nina Kraljic like she will 100% be the elected one. :(
And HRT haven't said a thing!

So I do not know if you are from Croatia, but the thing is that we have only 2.5 months to elect our ESC representative. And our traditional election DORA requires making announcement for people to apply looking through applications and picking the top ones for live show. People that will apply have to make their song and it all takes much more time than 2.5 months that we have and yes HRT did not say anything so this is the strongest reason for us to assume that Nina Kraljić winner of The Voice 2015 (a one of the most popular if not the most popular show in our country in the last 20 years or so) has to most legitimacy to represent us on the ESC. Over 1 million people were watching the show at the time and she was pick solo by the audience with more than 100000 votes.
