Croatia CROATIA 2016 - Nina Kraljić - Lighthouse

[Hele.]

I knew she probably felt biggest weight because of criticism of Croatian composers society!!! Which makes me so mad they made so big pressure WITHOUT reason on Nina!!! People who were UNSUCCESSFUL on eurovision like that Boris Djuredjvic who has been loudest and also THE MOST SHAMEFUL Croatian entry ever!! And that's not fair! And now she showed them! She is not in same company as them! She is not in SF! In your face to all haters!!! I hope now she completely forgets about them and is 100% focused on the song without any pressure!!!

Re: CROATIA 2015 - not taking part

Performance was ok. But i must admit i would like to see her with long hair more.

 

[Koori]

YEEEEEAS WE DID IT!!!
can't even describe how happy am I. Nina tottaly deserved it!
Congratulations, my dear croatian brothers!!

 

[tuorem]

Ahem, where do I start?

GURL! YA AIN'T PLAYIN'! Another gem coming from Croatia and beautifully sung by beautiful Nina.

Everything, absolutely everything was on point to me: staging, outfit, voice, song... Lighthouse hit me like no other song tonight. I discovered the entries while watching the semi, and I must say that you're my number 1 of that semi (as I don't know what semi 2 has in store yet). You will be in my personal top 5 guaranteed.

So amazing! I feared - like most of you I assume - that we would see a WTH shocking non-qualification because we never know. How happy I was when I saw the name of your country on the screen You MUST do well now, anything below 10th would be a scandal to me and I pray that you end up being the dark horse for top 5.

Congratulations, it feels good to have you back and in shape my dear Croatian friends

edit: I voted for you of course!

She doesn't seem to be happy

She doesn't seem to be happy

Nah, she's just not a attention-seeking-camera-following type of person. It seems like they got to her in the wrong moment. :'D

 

[daniels1000]

[MENTION=10896]GermanBango[/MENTION] She seemed so happy in the press conference. But it doesn't mean she's not happy if she doesn't reacts so. She's just a typical introvert and hates saying something she doesn't feel at that moment.

BTW, totally off-topic. But I wanted to puke on Sergey's reaction. Ew.

 

[cegs5]

I'm not a fan of this entry, but I understand why it qualified.
I'm glad for Croatia to be back in a Grand Final after many years, but not for the song itself.

 

[daniels1000]

One of the those rare opportunities when you'll see Nina acting as a party-type of person. Precious.

Congrats

It was my bro's personal favorite tonight, so you got one vote from him

As I expected, her dress looked really cool on TV it wasn't distracting at all.

 

[Ewigkeit]

I loved this performance.

People who were UNSUCCESSFUL on eurovision like that Boris Djuredjvic who has been loudest and also THE MOST SHAMEFUL Croatian entry ever!! And that's not fair! And now she showed them! She is not in same company as them!

 

[HSV1887]

I'm so, so happy for Nina and Croatia. All the negativity of the last week and a half must have really weighed heavily on her and her team and I am glad they were able to overcome it. The performance was a bit too static for my liking (I assume it's because of the dress) but Nina sang the heck out of her song. Good luck to her in the finals!

 

[DanielLuis]

Watching the press conference it's so sad how Nina talks about "internal problems"
I think she's not only talking about the composers society but also about HRT (they could have made a much better job supporting Nina). I'm very glad Nina showed them wrong tonight, but I still fear for Croatia's Eurovision future if this is the attitude HRT has.

 

[Sammy]

I don't know what so many people have against her outfit! It's extravagant, true, but I find it really great! The long sleeves underline well her arm movements and create a great effect. I rather have the awful asymmetric t-shirt of Freddie for the Barbara Dex Award among many other contestants for this prize.

 

[lelchita]

Her outfit was great. But i`m a little upset after last night. Even with amazing vocals and song, perfomance seems to lack something that would make it memorable. Would staging be similair to Emmelie`s - she would easily win, imo

 

[PeterLPZ]

Her voice is such beautiful and interesting and the song is great. I´m so happy, that is in the final. Good luck on Saturday.

 

[Hayato]

I absolutely burst out into wild and ferocious cheers when Petra announced Croatia!! Probably woke up the rest of Japan
All those haters out there, take several seats!! Nina SLAYED and I believe she will be even BETTER in the final now that the pressure is off!
Congrats to all the other Nina fans Let's enjoy this moment!

 

[Knubelznarm]

Her dress is a piece of art. It's not meant to look cute or sexy. Go ahead and give her that stupid award. It will just prove once again that the people who care about it are a bunch of basic b!tches.
