Dado and Dragonfly, Croatia's representatives from last year, open the show. They're all in black, Dado in dark glasses chains! Now Lana and Nikolina enter the stage and then Mirko and Dusko. After the jury is introduced, we go straight to the green room where the singers are waiting to perform.
1. Za�mirim iputujem – Dye & the colours
They're casually dressed; a very young act. The voices are average too poor until they go way off key.
2. Le�im na suncu – Hari Rončević
A man sat ina chaitat the middle of the stage, there are four female backing singers, two of themdressed in black, two in yellow. Later the singer puts on sunglasses. The songisnot catchy at all.
3.Emilija Kokić – Anđeo
Time for the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest winner again. Her vocals are very good. She is wearing a bodice and and a long skirt, all in white.
4. Vila – Prva Liga i Druge
The singer is bald an the backing singers are dressed in hoods and caps. A weird outfit indeed.
5. Amor – Tamara Obrovac
A French style song, an older man black hair ponytailand moustache introduces female singer -nice ballad and good voice. Tamara older, chignon and elegant long black dress, style of Edith Piaf.
6. Otvori mi oči – Pero Galić
A big man with long dark hair, moustache, black trousers and shoes and awhite lace jumper! The voice is strong and the song is quite catchy. There are three backing singers, two men and one woman.
7. Antonija Šola – Gdje je srce tu je dom
She is wearing a long white dress, her voice is good. The song has nice nostalgic lyrics. The two female and one male backing singer; the two women are playing stringed instruments.
8. Ivo Gamulin Gianni – Sanjam
The singer is standing alone on stage when performing his slow ballad. He's wearing a smart black suit. Now 4 female dancers appear, dressed in long white dresses. The voice is strong and the song is good. The dancers are backing singers too. It's the strongest song and voice so far.
9. Mirno spava kosa plava – Alen Islamović
A sole male singer in a black suit. There's one man at the piano and there are three backing singers.
Because of technical problems, we can't comment on the last few songs. But stay tuned for the results later tonight!
