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​

Now that Norway is sending TIX, her changes to qualify from the bloodbath of SF1 are growing

Queen bought all those sim cards to rig the vote in West Norway

 

[kayak]

What the hell Croatia? That is fire

 

[Morty]

Queen bought all those sim cards to rig the vote in West Norway

That would be a massive waste of money, since the Norwegian voting was online and free.

1 MILLION PLAYS

Also this is a grower for me

 

[John1]

This is definitely a grower! She might actually stand a chance!

[Looren]

She'll be the dark horse of ESC 2021 !

Love that violin. Love that suit. Love how her outfit is in harmony with the colours in the background. Did she know it's gonna be blue and pink? I love everything about this.

And I think no one should be scared anymore that Coatian representative will again have a bad outfit, Albina is pure class. Every time she appears, she wows with her outfit and style. It's gonna be great, I'm sure!

Somehow 'Colors' performance video have surpassed 800k views. Is there something I don't know?

 

[MalagaToledo]

I've upgraded them from 3 to 4 points because i like the performance, it's catchy but mostly because of the dancers. It is possible that it can go up for few points slowly but surely.

There's a poll made by one Croatian web portal, with currently more than 12 thousand votes:

"Should Albina sing the English or the Croatian version of the lyrics?"

- completely in English
- in English, with one Croatian chorus
- she should sing everything in Croatian

The 2nd option got 60% of the votes.

I'm happy that Albina herself is aware that English + Croatian combination is the ideal one. The song is more monotonous when only in one language, that Croatian part is giving something special to the song. And to me, English lyrics are much much better than Croatian ones.The English ones are about a girl leaving from a bad relationship, the Croatian ones are about a desperate one who doesn't know how to live without her ex and is willing to do everything to bring him back, save their relationship.


P.S. I can't find anything about the music video release date, do we know anything? The original release date was February 19, I think, but they said they'll have to agree with HRT now that they won. Obviously, HRT hasn't agreed on releasing it so soon. I just hope we won't have to wait for too long.

3/4 of those views were bought a few days ago.

Urmm? What's the point in that? The song is really good to be honest.

 

[Loindici]

Urmm? What's the point in that? The song is really good to be honest.

The streaming traffic is really absurd, like Albina almost reaching 1M is understandable when it comes to Croatia, but Colors reaching 800k? No offense to the song, though, it's good.

The music video will be premiered on HRT 1, on Saturday in their central news. I assume they will do that in the end, so around 8 pm CET. I think that the last few years, the video was uploaded on YT right after its TV premier.

IMO "Colors" was way better than Tick-Tock

 

[Romeo]

Seriously this song is timeless! (Granted the performance isn't a proper performance) but if this was the 2021 entry for Croatia it would still be a contender!
