Lordi's victory in Athens last year has blown open the doors to the Eurovision Song Contest for many musical genres as Lordi proved once and for all, any type of music can rise to the top. It seems that Dora will follow that strategy this year, with artists representing many music genres.

Head of Croatian delegation Aleksandat Kostadinov, told our partner site eurovision-croatia, that HRT has received almost one hundred songs for Dora 2007. The full list of the 32 songs that will proceed to the semi final will be known in two weeks. So far HRT has received some klapa songs (traditional Croatian Dalmatian male choir), ethnic songs such as the one by Miroslav Evačić, hip hop, rock, even some songs which will be performed by opera singers.

The latest update is that Luka Ni�etić ( Dora 2003 and 2005 participant) has submitted the song Pusti me u san ( Let me in your dream).

Croatia took part in the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 1993, achieving their highest ranking in 1996 and 1999 when they came fourth. This year, due to Severina's 12th place in Athens, Croatia will be in the semi final on 10th May.
