Croatia CROATIA 2016 - Nina Kraljić - Lighthouse

[WhoKnows]

Perfect time for my favorite gif:

Come on Croatian-Fans it's time to write a thousand Hate-Mails to your broadcaster! We need to get rid of that dress

It seems they're quite happy with what we're seeing though. :?

Croatia has still the song and the voice as two strong assets working for them. Even when Nina did not sing with full power in the rehearsal it should be good enough. If they have no plan B ready for the visuals they could just drop everything they have and improvise: put Nina in some neat-looking street wear, place some atmospheric wallpaper on the LED screen, darken the stage and let the audio do its magic. And tell Nina to sing for her life. It would still be better that the visual car crash they have now.

And if the silver dress must be on the stage at all costs, at least cut off those stupid sleeve-wings. The body part looks actually bearable. The make-up did also do some improvement.

 

[Komet Blu]

yea, there must be some a H&M/Zara nearby, so for the love of god someone snatch something.

Ugh, the performance could be so much more eventful - fog machine, some pyro-sparks falling in the finale, lights exploding, wind machine blowing for it's life, atleast something but no... this all seems too static.

I think I have said too much about this performance. What is done, is done. I can now just wish my best to Nina and Croatia.

Good luck!

 

[Nikkita]

Definitely not something you'd expect to hide under a kimono Nina can't go simple on stage, i guess.

I'd be fine with the dress but what is that thing hanging down from her arms? That is so disappointing... :?

I have no clue how they officially call these things, but I have one in my bathroom. It´s like a mat with rubber stripes on the bottom, so you cannot kill yourself by slipping on it when you step out of the shower or bathtub.

Haha you're so right! I actually wanted to write some ideas at the end of my posting what it might be (what it reminds me of) and that would have been one of those thoughts...

Jesus christ, I love the first dress but the 2nd one...can someone rip off the sleeves at least, then it might work for her. :?

 

[Mattan]

I'm pretty sure Croatia will run away with the trophy this year - the Barbara Dex one, that is.

What have you done Croatia ?
Before the rehearsals you were in my top 3.
And now this ???
I was planning to vote for you !
But you let me down.

Totally agree with that. As I've seen the kimono thing in "action" I've fallen in love with that, even though I wasn't scared before like...others. I know she want it special, but the second one is maybe a bit tooo special

I should recommend my friends to watch Croatia with closed eyes, as the song is too beautiful to get destroyed and deserves a win

Spoiler alert

It can be seen here how should some parts look on the TV (speaking about the TV on the top of the video). Thank you [MENTION=4364]Matt[/MENTION].

I can't really see too much but the key change seems to be done very effectively.

And I didn't even realise before this video. The backing singers make it sound pretty epic in some parts.

Sorry, but I don't really quite understand how could someone possibly start disliking the song because of the dress. Maybe it's just me being different than the regular ESC fans, but I never really cared too much about the artists' clothes. Let alone start disliking the song because of it. Vocal performance is another story.

When I was watching Israel 2013 with my family, everybody was distracted by the horrible dress and commented on how ugly she looked like and nobody even focused on the song. My mother roasted Moran really badly tbh. :roll: I can't wait to hear her comment on Nina's dress tbh

2013? What's wrong with that one?

Everything.
