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​

I think the running order will hurt her.. The juries hmm I don't think they will be keen on her too much.. I think Mia or Filip will win.

I also think the jury will show more support for some other songs, in my opinion - for Albina, Bernarda and/or Mia. I somehow see all three of them + Nina fighting for that title.

I actually made a comparison of likes that each song got compared to total YouTube views (since many factors play a role in YT views, not just how much people like a song). Nina has 177361 views and 3300 likes, so her likes are 1.86% of total views. Bernarda has 92261 and 1500 likes, which is 1.63%. So the difference between their likes is only 0.23%. Maybe that's not indicative of anything, but we'll see.

I also took a look at polls. On 2 biggest Croatian portals with general Croatian audience (as opposed to eurofan blogs etc.), Nina is 3rd and 4th, and Albina is winning in both of them.

 

[FRFanESC]

With her being the first to sing on the evening, I don't see her winning, but I hope so much to be wrong, thisis literally top 10 material if this is well-staged and sung.

Brigita on the Dora red carpet.

 

[Mrm]

Gooo Brigita!!

"Noći pijane" to Rotterdam!!

 

[Mrm]

@njdevils94

What is so funny?? lol

 

[njdevils94]

Albina with Tamta's dancers.

@Mrm I really don't see someone who has never been heard singing live before winning Dora.

 

[SaladBreak]

Love the bath sponge look

 

[Mrm]

@SaladBreak

We missed you!

 

[njdevils94]

Michela at Dora?

 

[Mainshow]

Nina has to perform at #1? - Damn, they don't expect her to win.. seriously, I will be so mad if another generic and dull song will win again.

Wake me up when Nina has it in her bag.

 

[njdevils94]

Speaking of generic songs that sound like Melfest rejects here's Mia.

 

[RainyWoods]

All these red carpet looks Tomorrow night cannot come soon enough. Can't wait for it to end in bitter disappointment though like every Dora pretty much, but I'm sure it will be an entertaining night. I'm looking forward most to Ella, Beta, Nina and Cambi.

 

[njdevils94]

Nina's hairpiece matched up well with the Dora trophy.

 

[Looren]

Nina hairpiece matched up well with the Dora trophy.

She looks scary

 

[Pål Nordahl]

I don't think I have the mental strength for Dora tomorrow. I'm still raging at Albania after Këngës! Give Nina her crown, Croatians

FiK was an open and shut case for Anxhela though. Dora certainly isn't. I could see about 7 different people winning.

 

[Mainshow]

Damn, I will be so pissed if Nina loses against one of these many trashy and bland "English" pop songs in this NF.

Sometimes I wish I would drink... I should probably try to come up with a non-Eurovision-related activitiy for tomorrow evening.

 

[njdevils94]

Bernarda opting for a more sophisticated look on a chilly day.

 

[Mainshow]

^^ I think she knows that she will win this national final and therefore, decided to keep it on the down low.

 

[Petar]

I love how Dora is the most important NF today! Good luck, susedi.
