I think Severina was 12th so I really want Nina to place better than that because her vocals, her song is much better than Severina's. :D :D

Btw, the Voice Global uploaded this :)

If not top 10 then please not the bottom five. :'(

I don't think it matters at all what place she will be now, she did her job and made it to the final. But I'm pretty sure that Slovenia, Bosnia & H., Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia have our back ;) x12s

I don't want her to be in the bottom 5 because the haters will have a field day again forgetting that we're for the first time in the final since 2009...

My thoughts exactly!

If we end up in bottom 5 then haters in Croatia will see it as a failure. If anyone has doubts about this, (s)he should just ask our national handball team. Or any national team... :D Croatians love their national handball team, yet if they come home without a medal almost everyone says that they are no good at all. The coach must go. Players must go. Then we suddenly have a country full of handball experts. It works for other sports, too. Plus, I think she deserves top 10. I don't say this because I'm Croatian, but because Nina has been working really hard and she's the best thing that could happen to our music, and if she ain't gonna take us there, I don't know who will. :/

I don't think it will be bottom 5. That would put Nina on Jamie-Lee level, and even with the dress she is far too impressive for that. Top ten may be tough, but I hope she will make it.

I think that bookies think too much about what people see, but when it comes to music - people don't vote for what they see, they vote for what they feel (and hear, of course).
I was thinking about this and ok, Mans last year was pleasant to the eyes, himself + visual effects, but the lyrics were also good. We are the heroes of our time...I'd say this is a good message...although I didn't like the song that much, I felt that message.
Sergey doesn't have this message. His lyrics are average at best...if anyone feels anything during his performance, it is fear that he'll fall. I was really scared while watching that performance, like a lighter version of Killer Karaoke.
That is probably the same reason why Greta didn't qualify...ok song, great visuals...but it was a bit confusing to watch, even for me who knew lyrics by heart. Too dark, who is calling her, what kind of problem she actually has...? :D Georgia - in an ocean of ballads, of course this got through. People were feeling amused, and they were waiting for that like one would wait for a little bit of wind on a hot summer day.

So, I think people feel Nina's song because of her strong voice, and that wow moment when she sings "there in the skyyy". The lyrics don't hurt. And that's why I believe she will not be in bottom 5. It just wouldn't be fair, even in this strong final.

Bottom 5? :lol: You guys are so pessimistic. Even in 2009 :hr: managed to escape from Bottom 5. :lol:

I think the fanboys are definitely underestimating :hr:.

I don't think I'll be able to handle watching the results. On the one hand I'm indifferent towards the song, on the other I want Nina do really well. But it's so uncertain it's making me really anxious. I wish her best of luck and hopefully she'll get a great result! Just to show that we don't suck at everything.

Why in hell do people think that this will end up in the bottom 6?

Also, since 2009, we've significantly spread our roots to a couple of other European countries, primarily Ireland :) :lol:

Croatia has big diaspora in :au: (and so far they haven't got chance to vote for :hr: until this year...and in late 90s and early 00s our diaspora in Europe countries was very active and later they obviously lost interest...even ex HOD, Ksenija Urličić told she had strategy to motivate diaspora to vote for their country xrollinglol xrollinglol) so I'm quite optimistic that we could get some pts at televote from them as for the first time they could call really a lot :mrgreen:.

But somehow, most of people when hear this song say: "Great song but it could represent Scandinavia". Now when those countries failed, will their tastes appeal to Nina?? :mrgreen: Umm [MENTION=15105]SaladBreak[/MENTION] it is getting more and more and more optimistic...can we discover some more potential niche market that could vote for Nina? :mrgreen: xrollinglol

And :mt::de: as well I think. :mt: always votes for :hr: for strange reasons. They even gave 12 to Celebrate. xrofl

I'm not sure about this but I think :hr: might also receive points from :ie:. The song has a bit of the Irish feel + Croatian diaspora in Ireland has become pretty big last years.

Also I think Scandinavians might like this song a lot. It has been charting the last days in :fi::se: and :no:.

Btw, if you have ever wondered why do both Nina's songs have some Irish feel in it, she revealed the secret - she wants to live in :ie:!
