Croatia CROATIA 2021 - Albina - Tick-Tock

[escYOUnited]

Tried to fix the broken pieces, now I'm leaving
But you made it loud and clear I’m not enough
Tried to fool me more than once to keep me dreaming
'Cause you knew the truth would tear us apart

If you pull me down then I'll come around
And rise up to come show you who I am
I feel fire inside, my heart’s desire
I'm breaking free from you

Tick-tock, watch the days go
I'm losing track of time
Lost in your playzone
Don't overcomplicate
Now we're in warzone
You're screaming, "Oh no, oh no, oh no"

Tick-tock, I'll take you dancing
In time wе might break
You think you're fancy
I play those gamеs my way and you’ll be beggin’
"Please baby, don't go, don’t go, don't go"

I hear those voices from far away
They help me to escape (Escape)
I found myself and I'm finally free from
Your bad love in every strength

Tick-tock, watch the days go
I'm losing track of time
Lost in your playzone
Don’t overcomplicate
Now we're in warzone
You're screaming, "Oh no, oh no, oh no"

Dancin', dancin'
Think you, think you fancy
Tick-tock
Don't go, don't go, don't go

I hear those voices from far away
They help me to escape (Escape)
I found myself and I'm finally free from
Your bad love in every strength

Tick-tock, vrijeme curi, gdje si više
Usne grizem, sama jedva dišem
Tick-tock vrijeme juri ne mogu više
Oh no, oh no

Tick-tock, I'll take you dancing
In time we might break
You think you're fancy
I play those games my way and you'll be beggin'
"Please baby, don't go, don't go, don't go"

Dancin', dancin'
Think you, think you fancy
Tick-tock
Don't go, don't go, don't go​

Oooo the stage looks really good this year... love replacing the empty space with the green room

 

[Mainshow]

Slay - a German greeting from the host

 

[Sammy]

Go girl!

 

[Mainshow]

Wow Nina's postcard is already amazing!

 

[Sammy]

oh no, where is her strong voice?

it's getting better now, perhaps she was just nervous in the beginning.

 

[Leydan]

Croatia coming straight out with the male pole dancer. Ok We see what you do

 

[lavieenrose]

And right from Song 1, Croatia and Miss Nina have flown my wig into orbit. That was so fucking bizarre. Engrossing. I loved it.

From a results perspective, the tragic irony is that I think that's just too weird to win a national final but that it could do quite well if it got to Rotterdam.

 

[Mainshow]

Seriously, this would have been my #1 so far - Didn't think that it would be possible to top "Shum" - Croatia, don't mess up!

WTF... pole dancing?!?!?!

 

[Leydan]

Wow that was quick? Idk what I think of that... There was a whole lot going on there for sure, from her outfit, singing to the staging.

 

[tomos2019]

Nina's costume reminded me a bit of Yodonna (thank you if you get the reference lol!)

 

[CPV4931]

Nice opening by Nina, each Eurovision needs at least one song in this direction

 

[Sammy]

that's better than I thought from the snippet.

 

[theditz83]

I've never really liked Nina Kraljic but that wasn't horrible. A few runs were a little strained but it was atmospheric

 

[JChan]

Nina's song really reminded me of something out of FiK.

 

[RainyWoods]

Nina's song was pretty enjoyable. I feel like too much of my focus was on the spinning gentleman though.

 

[Loindici]

Hi! Here I am in the middle of the night waking up for Dora

Nina can throw my wig into space and buy me a new lacefront. That was epic!

 

[Sammy]

the riff reminds me of some football-chant.

 

[Mainshow]

If Croatia sends Nina to Rotterdam, Croatia will do better than 2016, for sure!

Unfortunately, I agree with @lavieenrose It#s way too progressive, strange and avantgarde to win over any "professional juries" of a national final

 

[mauve]

I love Nina's song, but the staging wasn't so much mine! Maybe Nina can change that! Otherwise top!

 

[theditz83]

I wonder what this song is called... Not sure he's sung it all.
