Croatia CROATIA 2016 - Nina Kraljić - Lighthouse

[aef]

Nina's profile video is so lovely...

 

[Ewigkeit]

So she's a Potterhead? Zagreb 2017 please

"I'm a geek and a nerd and I'm pretty proud of it."

Gotta love her

 

[GermanBango]

Ok after that confession she HAS to win
I want her to be my best friend - Call me, Nina!

 

[DanielLuis]

She seems amazing judging from that video

 

[AuroraBorealis]

She's so quirky I love it

 

[PeterLPZ]

My No. 1 song at the moment. I really hope, that she is live also good. The song is special, also her voice. It´s not impossible, that the next ESC will host in Zagreb.

 

[Rusch]

Actally I like this song. It is my favourite of this very, very weak year.

So...we were talking about the possibility of The Voice of Croatia winner to represent the country at the Eurovision again in 2017, and the possibility of bringing Dora back or some similar competition. At first, I was happy with the Voice option, but now when we have the winner, I have to say I'd like some other option. It's not because I don't think Ruža is a good singer, but because she was singing everything from AC/DC to Toše Proeski and those covers were very very similar, if not the same, to their original. So the problem is - I really don't know what to expect to hear from her. What is her style anyway?

This is her tonight's performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuUZQX-yOoY
This is her blind audition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wrz5KMGl6E

I hope Nina will be in top 10 this year, because I have little faith that we'll offer a great song again next year.

I don't have anything against sending the winner of the voice every year, but the public should then pick the song.

We will have one ESC returnee on the stage, Martina Majerle(Slovenia 2009). I believe she could be a back vocal?

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

Martina!!! She really deserved to win the Slovenian NF in 2015

CroTeam 2016:

Croatian delegation: http://eurosong.hr/predstavljena-hrvatska-delegacija-stockholm/

Andrej Babić wrote music and lyrics for "Više nisam Tvoja" and was with Claudia on stage, so can we count that as two returnees?

I'm so happy to see Danijela in that team, I totally didn't expect that, it's a pleasant surprise . Wouldn't mind her representing Croatia as a solo artist either.

Btw, some guys on eurosong.hr are saying that we have revealed members of Croatian jury too early and that the jury can be disqualified for that??

I'm confused... what are these two guys doing there? Especially Andrej Babić, you can't hear a single backing vocalist in the studio version and suddenly there are four of them. :'D Danijela needs to cut her hair but I'm glad Martina is part of the team. Maybe we should've gone with the model Montenegro had in 2014 with only one male back vocalist. Now I don't mean to spare my words on the jury, but my god, what a list of terrible song producers and artists. Seems like our votes will suck big time. ^^

I disagree, because Nina changed the song in her live performances. Since she no longer sings the whole chorus but only parts of it, back vocalists are needed to support the ending of the song. Especially in the end when she closes the song with repeating "your lighthouse, your lighthouse..." - I think she needs back vocalists there to emphasize the end of the song, otherwise those "your lighthouse" repeatings are not much different from their previous form. I'm actually always imagining back vocalists when she sings final "your lighthouse" parts in her live performances and think how great that could sound.

Well you might not have to worry about your jury's votes because supposedly they can only be publicly revealed the day before the final ( I think it's the day before the final, it might be only in the final itself). So HRT might have to replace their jury members.

 

[SaladBreak]

I hope the jury gets replaced, especially the virtuoso who wrote 'Break a leg'.... Ummm... I mean 'Celebrate' or 'Salad Break'

I would also prefer Daniela Trbović to Duško Ćurlić, she actually was a Eurovision commenter one year.

 

[Johnny992]

Danijela??? Not that witch!!!!!!!!

 

[lavieenrose]

Oh I like Andrej Babić! Didn't know he sang too. And Martina's also awesome

Past body of work is shockingly uninformative as to how jurors vote, so I'll reserve judgment there.
