Great dress! And great vocals, as always.

She totally nailed it. 
I heard this song for the first time today and it didn't really do anything for me. I was thinking it's just another Eurovision song when listening and totally forgettable. Not my cup of tea, but I can see it doing fairly well too. so lets say im undecided. thats best i think.

She killed me with that live perfomance, I hope that early starting number won't interfere her to make it to the final 
Hele.

Nina had really great live performance, maybe only few imperfections (in comparation) to studio version, in first part of the song...but that last refrain - simply flawless! She obviously changed that last refrain (singing more "keeping me safeeeeeeeeeeee" and not "keeping me safe in oceans range") but that part now sounded equally good and do not ruin song. I like it now, but she sang it bad in Serbia during live performance.
So, just hope her voice stays completely healthy. She just need some stunning dress (hope Matija Vuica is dress maker, she made dress for our singer last time we qualified - in 2009 for Andrea Šušnjara
) and good LEDs (I'm not sure how this one of Hvar will work) and that's it!

What happened to the video, wasn't it suppose to be released till the end of this week
Anyway, I was thinking about things she's done so far that people didn't like (her outfits, hair color, this and that...) so, it is probably better that she experimented more before than after. Now she at least knows what appeals to the audience and what not. She will not and should not change herself of course, but I think she can put all the comments in good use, improve some things while still preserving her identity.
I see that she's blond again, so (say) yey for that.
Her performance in Amsterdam was really strong. Yes, there were some imperfections, but she still slayed and surprised many.

Some are complaining that "Croatians vote heavily in the poll so that's why it's leading the poll", but...even if that's true (although, with such a small population Croatia has and most of the population not really crazy about Eurovision - I really doubt that), it is very interesting to see the YouTube figures which seem to support Nina's lead. Out of all wiwibloggs' videos of Amsterdam performances - Nina's has 80.000 views. The second most viewed performance is Michal's (Poland) with 30.000 views. That's a big difference, especially when we consider that other performances have less than 20.000 views.

Yes, we can definitely find a link to the poll (and other polls) in some Youtube comments under Nina´s videos. I assume that another link is probably on her FB fan page etc. etc. But fans of the other artists do the same, naturally. So, at the end of the day, the big gap definitely says something about what impact Nina´s and Michal´s Amsterdam performances made. I don´t think that people would waste their time and energy voting in silly internet polls if they were not impressed. The same with Youtube views - the videos with significantly more amount of views are probably shared on social sites, while the rest is considered to be less worthy to share, I deduce.
