Croatia
Nina Kraljić - Lighthouse

They're back *.*

 

And the rumours are pointing towards Nina Kraljić, winner of the first series of The Voice of Croatia.

Ah yes! I've read the rumours about Nina for months now, just never believing they could become possible as Croatia didn't seem to plan on returning any time soon.

 

So if Nina does now get chosen, she'd be a fantastic choice - her latest single definitely shows she could come up with something very high quality!

 

Barring any contractual issues turning up in the next week, it is expected that Nina Kraljić will soon be announced as the Croatian representative who has said that Eurovision is "her biggest dream". It is also possible that Nina will perform her entry for the first time on The Voice of Croatia on February 27th.

Nina has been confirmed today.

Exciting news, and the song presentation is on March 9th which nicely fills in the gap we have around 2 weeks from now in the calendar!

The song is out there (and it's brilliant!)

 

I had high hopes for Nina and I haven't been let down! She has a womderful unique tone to her voice and the song builds fantastically. It's a bit like Ellie Goulding does a slightly ethno-pop version of Only Teardrops. Croatia's odds already being slashed to 14/1, it's not a winner but I think it could get through in that very tough semi 1!

Should be an easy qualifier for them then, it would be lovely to see them qualify again finally if that's the case. I quite like the tone in her voice although it's making me think Zara Larsson more, either way, very good way to come back. If I had a criticism it would be that I feel the song could pick up just a little more.

Easily their best entry since Feminnem, hope it can qualify!

LOVE this. How fab to have the greatest nation in the game during the 90s BACK *.*

Ooh I do love such a positive surprise even when I did have high expectations!

 

I'm happy she is representing my country, this is a good comeback. The production of the song is great. The only small issue that I have with it is that the melody reminds me more of something Irish, rather than Croatian.

not feeling it at all. maybe live performances will change that

Yasssss really good

Official preview video is here, the proper music video is expected to be released in early April.

 

 

Just Bulgaria and Italy left to be uploaded to Eurovision.tv, hopefully Italy's comes today as we know Bulgaria's is!

And here is the music video with some sort of science-fiction theme! Nice to see them be more inventive than just having Nina walk around near a lighthouse as we might have expected.

 

You should now be able to watch the video as I've replaced the taken-down version with the Eurovision.tv upload!

This is SO GOOD.
