Ok, I'll begin with the song that I thought should have won - just to provide some contrast and excitement in the finals - and because I think it's fucking amazing! (edit - in fact, I think they've let a top5 song get away)!!!

YouTube - VALUNGARI - Vol or ne vol

However, this is the song that will represent Croatia!

YouTube - Feminnem - Lako Je Sve [Eurovision 2010 - Croatia]

It's ok, it's good enough to qualify. It also blends into the ballad dirge we have this year, which is why I wanted the more exciting entry posted above.

These girls have to give an amazing performance to stand out!

Hmmmmmmm....is that live? If so i'm impressed.

They lose it a bit at the end, but for me thats the best ballad I've heard so far this year. To me thats got the potential to be amazing on stage - I just wish they wouldnt bother with those dance beats early in the song - doesnt fit in at all.

Aside from that, if they can perform like that on the night its head and shoulders above the other ballads. Apart from the end...lose it a bit there.

I'm on at 40/1 - I toyed with waiting for further books to open up and see if any better was about, but it looks like all apart from Boyles are ready to wait until the rest of the songs are out and so thats going to be another few weeks, and by then I'd expect this to be getting a bit more attention than it is at present.

For me its far more authentic than most/all of the other ballads released so far - the number of them is a bit concerning but this has the potential to stand out - their performance is already very good. Usually 3 separate vocalists would be bad news, but I cant really fault any of them(until towards the end where the voices dont blend quite as they could - but thats just something to work on over the next 2 months.)

Who knows - might turn out to be an also ran, and the lack of interest just now might continue, but there's big -vs against all the market leaders at the moment for me so this one could have some legs.

CROATIA is now down to 15.0 from 40.00 in the space of an hour! What you people doing

I managed to get in at 25.0 after getting my new card to work! Jeas, what a day!

I love the three of them! Unfortunately the tasty prices have obviously gone. What puts me off taking a shorter price is that the Croats quite often come up with strong ballads but don't have some massive support

I said the same to Gav earlier Engineer - Croatia have a slightly iffy Eurovision record with very little to show for their 15+ years.

2009 was dreadfully sung, 2008 was errr wierd, going back further I have to look them up, but not too much to work with.

Bloc vote is strong, possibly 2nd only to Bosnia in the Balkans, and even then Bosnia has had far stronger songs in recent years.

The song itself has a lot of similarities with Serbia 07(and in most cases it look intentional - the women in suits appearing halfway through isn't very subtle.)

I also think there are echoes of Dima Bilan - which should attract interest. Now the bookies are taking interest, that in turn will raise the song's profile.

Jesus. I honestly can't get to the 2 minutes mark. Wanted it off before the first minute in fact. Awful so far. One of the most boring in history. I'll try again from 1 minute something or other. There might be a song in here somewhere.

**MickeyPaul** · Tweet this Post! #10 (**permalink**) 17-03-2010, 03:38

Nut. I can't get through it and don't know what you guys are hearing that I aint. I'd have this around the 200/1 region.

**MickeyPaul** · Tweet this Post! #11 (**permalink**) 18-03-2010, 16:31

Made it to the end and still nothing. Less in fact. I wouldn't even have thought this had top 10 potential to be honest. I'm scratching my head on this one. Look:

**Gavster** · Tweet this Post! #12 (**permalink**) 18-03-2010, 16:35

Get away Mickey - not top10 potential? Ahh well... we'll just have to wait and see.

**MickeyPaul** · Tweet this Post! #13 (**permalink**) 20-03-2010, 03:37

Doesn't mattter what I think. I quit. I asked somone to choose between this and Sweden and as soon as they picked this I knew the human race was lost. I give up and will leave you girls to it.

I think this is quite a good one. Has potential.
