I rather have the awful asymmetric t-shirt of Freddie for the Barbara Dex Award among many other contestants for this prize.

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.

Hungary is a poor country, Freddie had no money for a symmetric T-shirt. :cool: As I know he will buy scissors in Stockholm to make it symmetric.

But this a topic about Nina. For me she was a well deserved qualifier. I prefer her red carpet dress to this one. Dress change was really messy for me. Thanks god, she has brilliant voice and song which compensated the staging problems.
I think she will reach top 10 in final. Good luck Hrvatska!

Explanation of the dress by the designer:

That's fine and all, but the final product still needs to look good. It doesn't. Nina qualified DESPITE the dresses, not because of them. Luckily she sounded really good and the song is really good, that was enough to qualify. It won't come anywhere near Top Ten in the final, which is where this song deserves to be.

Still, congrats on qualifying!!!

Her vocal is flawless but staging was really bad. Still can't understand what was the point of that awful dress
However so happy she qualified and good luck in final neighbours

Oh yes, absolutely deserved final! xcheer I am personally happy with how the staging looks, however she didn't sound too well yesterday. I think it was mostly because of the pressure around. She can do it better than what she demonstrated yesterday on her vocal part. Still though, even the fact that she made it despite that proves that there is huge quality here and in the final I expect much more confident performance and then it can really go anywhere! xcheer


Congrats to :hr: on a deserved final! xcheer

aaaand........

I know who is especially happy now! :D Congrats honey [MENTION=7006]Hele.[/MENTION] xkiss xheart xheart xheart Now if :rs: makes it too, we can easily mutually support both in the final xlove xheart xheart

I really discovered this song yesterday and it entered my playlist. I must admit I never liked it so much before but yesterday it conquered my heart. My 12 points of the first semi goes to Croatia. Good luck in he final!

The problem is that Nina has to deal with it as well and solely to her own detriment.

Regarding Zigman those photos are interesting, but it's a bit dissappointing that the idea was just to create an abstract fashion interpretation of ordinary lighthouses. It should have been something more act-oriented for such a romantic song. At least he could have chosen more romantic pictures. :D

Nina looks like a baby in incubation in her costume. Totaly be worth to Barbara Dex tbh.

Based on the song alone this could easily get top 5 but the performance does let it down.
I really can't predict the result Croatia will get on saturday, I can see both top 10 and bottom 5 happening.

No. And I think it's very suitable to the song. I like when she opens her arms and the metal sleeves reflect the light! :)

I agree.

She is my favourite ex Yugoslav act this year and I really hope she will do well.

This is a good song.
