Croatia got the score 2.85/10 on German Songcheck. With that score, it is second to last. x0s

Can someone give a summary of what they are saying? I don't understand German, but I think I understood the hosts say that it's like a Disney song sang by Olaf. X_X


He reminds Alina of Ari Olafsson, but he screams too much.
Consi became more gay just by looking at him.
Pauls thinks the first Line is scary. It sounds sect-like.
Isabell thinks the Wings are funny.
For Larissa his Outfit is a NoGo. But he sings incredible.
Broder thinks Roko looks like him and that is very bad.
Jan wants Roko to fulfil his dream, but he needs another Try at ESC for this.
Marcel thinks its ok, except the Wings.
Stefan thinks he should change his Performance.

The Users think Kroatia needs to send Dino Jelusic to win ESC.
Another wishes Kroatia to qualify so that the Big Audience can watch this entertaining Trash.
The last calls this Song Guilty Pleasure and wishes the Wings to disappear.

Roko just dropped the full Croatian version of The Dream:

Can he actually perform the song in full Croatian during the competition? I doubt so right? I recall in 2016 Lidia from Moldova wanted to sing the "Falling Stars" fully in French but she wasn't able to.

This song walks a fine line between being a parody or a serious piece. I think they should choose one direction and fulfit it completely. I'm confused how I should regard it.

A guy with giant golden wings and some other guys flying in the background...

That's enough internet for me today.

When I saw the performance with the angel wings I was first in disbelief and at some point I had to laugh. For that I reward this entry with 1 point.

Edit: I forgot to comment on the song. That's bad too.

Call me a hater, but I genuinely don´t want us to succeed this year.

Matter of fact, if this achieves a better result than Franka last year, I will be very upset.

It feels like the kind of song that could have been really great, but it falls a bit flat for me. Dramatic vocals are almost always annoying, especially when the melody is lacking. It's OK, but that's about it.

Okay, dear neighbours, cousins. Couple of things for you before the semis. I am not crazy for your song, but Roko is such a cuttie pie. He looks such a nice guy, the embodiment of positivity. And he is really handsome. One thing - despite the bad song, his vocals are astonishing (oh gush, this boy can sing). I saw some of his performances in some TV show (The Voice?) and he impressed me. Crazy, amazing voice. His cover of Winner takes it all was simply incredible. His cover was unique and he made the song his own. So, for all these reasons, I still hope that Roko makes it to the finals. He is simply a nice chap and I will be sincerly happy for him.

And now one comment that only Croats will get. When watching yesterday's Semi 1 with my mother, the best comment of the night was when Greece came up and Duska started singing and my mother said: Wait, is this Josipa Lisica? :lol: She said Duska sings exactly like Josipa - through nose :lol:

Anyways, don't hate Roko. I will hold my fingers crossed for him/you. And btw, I am soon visiting Croatia again. Looking really forward. I am going to Krk to visit friends and dig your heritage :lol: Luv u all!
