Neither like Ukraine's nor Poland's songs ...But now Croatia!

 

[cassio]

I realy dont like Croatia but they will qualify for sure

 

[slatka]

Croatia is so overrated…

 

[hawadharma]

Croatia did minimal upgrading on staging from national finals.. keeping it simple and playing safe I guess?
Did he keep the full energy for the finals?

 

[Stargazer]

I don't hate Croatia's song, but I also feel it's a bit overhyped.

 

[gigi_copp3]

The arena is crazy

 

[soulm8]

Winner! Killed it!

 

[Geborgenheit]

Whooah...the best part. Honestly, it will qualify and be in Top 5, I guess.

 

[musicfan]

The dance break in Baby Lasagna too quiet.

 

[hawadharma]

anyway Croatia will definitely qualify. definitely.

 

[Malagant]

Croatia. Is this pure trash? Or something with quality? Makes me long back to the Croatian ESC quality-entries in the late 1990s ("Marija Magdalena", "Nostalgija" and similar).

 

[Biste]

I liked the "computerized backing vocal" for Croatia. It's a nice addition to the main vocalist. Unlike other countries that just use them to drown the main vocalist out to pretend he/she is singing in tune.

 

[soulm8]

He improved so much wow!

 

[Realest]

I have a bad Feeling is out.

 

[Etanna]

after all the carefully choreographed performances, Croatia's disorganized chaos feels actually pretty good

 

[NeoTen]

Damn, Australia has overtaken Serbia in 30% of the betting stations. If they win a few more over Serbia it will the first time ever they are set to qualify per odds.

 

[cassio]

Croatia's lyrics are so childish

 

[Citelis]

Easy TV winner.

 

[soulm8]

Croatia. Is this pure trash? Or something with quality? Makes me long back to the Croatian ESC quality-entries in the late 1990s ("Nostalgija" and similar).

Baby come back to reality!
