Croatia 1999

Let’s proceed with something not so simple – Croatia 1999! From my point of view, it’s insane to have 24 songs in one contest – far too long, and this was not even such a good final. A lot of boring ballads. But still, Croatia is one of my favourite countries, both national and international. A lot of the artists compete in several finals, and I’m lucky to have quite a few of them in my mp3-collection. They were a bit of a disappointment in 2007, so I hope they will return to their usual standards this year. My points to the left. Note that we have broken the golden ESC-rules by giving also 9 and 11 points, and even added up to 5 minus-points to the songs we dislike the most!

1 Miris ljubavi/ Teens 8p, 7p
(1990 called, they would like to get their shirts back)
2 Da zora zna /Kristina -4p (mine)
(boring ballad)
3 Samo ti / Alen Nizetic -3p, -4p
(boring man-ballad)
4 Samo neba zna / Andy -2p (mine)
(boring duet-ballad)
5 Kad prestane kisa / En Face 11p (my partner’s)
(boring rock)
6 Dobro mi dosla ljubavi / Giuliano 5p, 12p
(OK dance)
7 San / Josip Katalenic 9p (mine)
(A lesbian man???)
8 Kraljica noci / Nikita 11p, 8p
(Opera-rock-r’n’b?? Nice, but bad singing)
9 Kasno je / Magazin -5p (mine)
(Strange hair. Ugly ballad)
10 Jos jednom / Sanja Lukanovic -5p (my partner’s)

11 Cijeli svijet je izmedu nas / Turbo X 1p, 3p
(A little nicer ballad)
12 Nisam te vrijedan / Goran Karan 1p (my partner’s)
