LIVE COVERAGE

1. Angels- Male vjestice

Five women singing rockish schlager with a dose of drums, singers were slightly off key.

2. Alen Vitasović- Sve bi za nju da

A catchy song now in Istrian dialect, established performer accompanied by backing singers.

3. Ivana Radovniković- Samo probaj
Jazz-style song, a strong vocal performance by Ivana.

4. Ibrica Jusić- Nikad zaboravljena
Ibrica and his famous dog Archie in the background as usual, interesting lyrics, but perhaps the song is not catchy enough to qualify.

5. Naim Ayra- Još sam uvijek tvoj
Time for one more ballad. Naim performs accompanied by 2 female backing singers, one male on guitar, voice good but not outstanding.

6. Luka Ni�etić- Pusti me u san
Another ballad follows suit, Luka does very well in general. He is accompanied by 2 female dancers and 3 backing singers. This is a sad song with sentimental lyrics.

7. Klapa Maslina- Gitara i čaša vina
A traditional song all the way now traditional croatian costumes and all. A folk song that would appeal to a more mature audience.

8. Marko Tolja- Deja vu
A complete change in rhythm and dress now.This one is sort of jazzy, Luka singing in formal suit and tie with 2 male and 1 female backing singers on stools. There are also two male dancers to complete the picture. Unfortunately towards the end they key was lost.

9. Feminnem- Navika
Feminnem now, each girl in different brightly coloured mini dress. The song is a schlagery one with a jazzy bit at the end that has didn't come out too well as the group went slightly off key.

10. Esmeralda Kresina- Malo za uvijek
Esmeralda enters now, her song is a ballad, not too catchy, she is slightly off key as well but not as bad as Angels and Femminem.

11. Lana Klingor- Gravitacija
Lana, all dressed in white top hat and tails, 2 huge white guitars with dancers , 3 backing singers. Lana's song is jazzy and she delivers a good solid performance.

12. Kraljevi ulice & Sandra Bagarić- Pjesma za novčić
One more opera singer trying for the Eurovision Song Contest now.The song is very catchy, a sing-along tune for all ages, it could easily be a weedding song. Sandra performs to perfection, accompanied by an accordion player, a guitarist, a double base player and a squeezebox player in top hats. That one could do well.

13. Milan Terze- Ljubavnica
Another ballad, a sad one too. Milan is dressed in black accompanied by 3 backing singers

14. Dragonfly feat. Dado Topić- Vjerujem u ljubav
And a little bit of schlager rock by the famour rocker Dado.There are 4 guitar players on stage together with Dado and the female singer. Good, strong vocal performances by both.

15. Voljen Grbac & Vivien Galleta- Riječ dvije
Voljen is an opera singer as well, delivers a good performance of this strong ballad, there is a woman playing the harp. Voljen in black, the female singer in black and white, they are accompanied by two dancers.

16. Giuliano- Pismom te ljubi milijun mandolina
Last to perform is Giuliano. In jeans, white shirt, black tie and black tank top! This is a pop rock tune in the Dalmatian dialect. There are 4 backing singers. The song is not catchy enough.

And the eight qualifiers are:

Kraljevi ulice & Sandra Bagarić- Pjesma za novčić
Giuliano- Pismom te ljubi milijun mandolina
Feminnem- Navika
Lana Klingor- Gravitacija
