As I see it, that is no place for a live performance + they gave her a bad microphone, etc. It seems that she was struggling to hear herself well and was thinking about how to sing with a strong voice but without producing the echo effect. And because she was thinking too much how to adapt to the environment, she seems a little bit distant. So considering the given conditions, she was awesome.

I don't want to sound mean or anything and please correct me if I'm wrong but it's not like other artists usually sing live while promoting on television and the media staff from RTS simply wasn't prepared.

Wow!
The microphone and equipment wasn't that good but I think she still killed it! I think she will be amazing live :-)

I am gonna buy another sim card, so I can double vote :-)

Never in my entire life I heard anything like her live singing. I think she has an amazing voice, but also great control over her breathing and delivery. Almost like her voice is all these different instruments in one. But there is something beyond that, something that is hard to explain. She literally takes you to another dimension.
Last year, for my b-day, my partner took me to Opatija, Croatia, to listen to her. She indeed is a special person. Since it was my b-day, I was allowed to go backstage and greet her. She seems like a very spiritual person, she was extremely warm, kind and genuine, a true gem.
In my life, due to my job and strange coincidenses, I had the opportunity to meet great world musicians, but Nina is the one that left the biggest impact on me (lol it's obvious).

Wow, so cool. :D Sometimes she seems harsh on interviews, but a lot of people said she's really nice and down to earth when talking to fans.
She seems like a great person to hang out with...

Lighthouse was played on the radio at least once in every ex-yu country, it seems that the promo really helped.

1152 times in Croatia
121 times in B&H
6 times in Serbia
5 times in Montenegro
4 times in Macedonia
2 times in Slovenia
:D

Apparently Nina confirmed that she will have back vocals and that the song will indeed sound stronger live.
That was on RTL's "Sve u 6", maybe we'll get an video later...

Do not worry cuz of these statistics... Slovenia is surely giving her 24 points to Croatia. If not, I will be shocked.

If she was accused of plagiarism, what am I supposed to say about other 95 % of songs over the last 10 years in ESC? :)

The song is great, my number 4 this year, and I actually believe you have a chance to bring the ESC back to Zagreb once more. Oh gush, I still remember I couldnt sleep that night when Riva won. I was so proud, and for two weeks everyone was discussing why/how Riva won... Emilija Kokić was so pretty, and she still is! ;)

This.

I'm really fed up of people accusing artists of plagiarism. Some of the comparisons seem to be completely made up. There have been so many songs that is impossible to find a song that is 100% unique.

I agree. But what bothers me more are the double standards that some commentators apply to different songs - either for political reasons or for personal or any other. Once they scream this song is a copy of that, but when it comes to a song they like, they defend it with nails sharpened and ready to smack your neck :)

Her voice is just breathtaking, absolutely amazing. Even more say thinking it is still quite early and in a studio that has low sound quality, that makes this performance even stronger. Now hoping for a great visual effect of some sort and it may even be Zagreb 2017. xrose

That's true.

It becomes really boring. This year we have already had many people accusing certain countries (e.g. :pl: and :se:) of plagiarism. I wonder who is next :)

Also our entry from Slovenia is constantly compared to certain songs... But since it is not a serious contender for the victory, no one cares even if it is a case of plagiarism :)

I find it slightly overrated. I mean it's not bad, but THAT high in polls and odds? Maybe also a bit of a returner-bonus (if that exists)
Still I wish her all the best.
