Croatia’s Roko is your favourite Eurovision 2019 act so far. The Dora winner’s fanbase is proving resilient, and once more answered the call. Of the 14,098 votes cast, “The Dream” singer secured 2,937 votes (20.83%). That’s a drop from last week’s 4,624, but enough to see him rise from second to first.
He is joined on the podium by Italy’s Mahmood with “Soldi” and Spain’s Miki with “La Venda”.The former is proving to be a gigantic hit, and even broke into the global Spotify charts. He picked up 2,645 votes. Meanwhile, Miki won over 1,186 voters.
The top five is completed by Slovenia’s Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl and Romania’s Ester Peony.
With 23 songs set to drop between now and the Eurovision submission deadline on 10 March, there will be scarcely time to breathe, let alone run a poll. Therefore, the next such poll will open after all 41 acts have been revealed (RIP “Siren Song” 🙁 ).
You can read the full rankings below.

Hi there this was from so long ago but I have looked through the comments and I am disgusted by the amount of Croatians (not all, mind you) saying that everyone else is racist for not liking Roko’s song. Like come on guys. The song is just really bad, and 99 percent of commenters saying that, including myself, do not have anything against Croatians. And before you say I am from Italy and Slovenia, I was born and live in Perth, Australia.
Croatian version is best. Number 1.
Right now, I see Croatia as one of the better songs in a relatively weak lineup. However, if this song is revamped, it has potential to be one of my favorite Eurovision songs of the last 3 years.
As a Croatian, I think we have a hard time being self-critical and want to be more relevant because we know how much potential we have, but with stubborn pride and lack of objectivity we will never learn.
That being said, I am still butthurt for Franka’s low placing ;P
I like Croatian song it remainds me on Disney song and this is good, I love Disney cartoons and songs. Czech song is also great, very addictive. Other not impressed me.
People are looking for a reason to throw shade at the Croatian entry. Come on! 🙁 When I first listened to “The Dream”, I knew it would be one of my favorites. After learning that Roko won, I couldn’ quit weeping. I could listen to “The Dream” dozens of times, even if million of people hate it. 🙂
1. Boy with wings , 2. Arab song , 3. Song for children , 4. Gaspar song for sleeping
Please Russia save us from this freak show
Dear God, worst song & worst artist of the year is ranked 1? I cannot take this song & artists seriously. Same like Jacques in 2017. These two are serving parodies of what good music should be LOL
Lol, but I know that you like Italy and Slovenia because this songs are so good haha something new and modern, we never hear something like that 🙂 this songs just growing in you 🙂 Dude dont comment any more please..how many accounts you have? What Houdek did to you that you need to repeat same comments again and again
Multilateral delusions
Unilateral punishments
Seriously and LOL written in the comment… hm… what to say more…
I love Roko and Croatian song!
P.s. I will get more than 20 dislikes on this comments 🙂
Pheh.. Hahhahahahahahaha
Like… what?
No way this is the top.
How come almost all youtube “my top”‘s give him last (24-20 for now) place and you write that he is a favourite??
Hhahahahaha
Apparently Roko will be singing an unplugged version of the song similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-iY0goHeyU&feature=youtu.be … In addition to this, his song will be supported by a world known cellist Stjepan Hauser, with Roko singing and playing the piano himself. This could be promising!
Here’s a song performed by the late Oliver Dragojevic, with Stjepan Hauser as the cellist who could significantly improve the song “Heroj” as well.

Oh, this is lovely! <3 Best of luck! :-**
I want Roko & piano, this is awesome
Well all of this goes to trash because instruments ate not allowed in Eurovision.
Because most of this artist cant play instruments 🙂 they are not musicians at all
Good luck Roko, good news! Let’ s go Croatia!
Croatia will win for sure, because it is the 30 th anniversary of the victory of Riva in 1989.

Seems like Bilal’s rabid fans have gotten bored with the poll.
And even without them, he finish at a nice 6th place.
Fans: have you forgotten when you hated Croatia when Jacques Houdek was in 2017? now you LOVE it when he wrote it. After this i will NEVER take a ESC fan serious again. Fans are so FAKE
Italian and Slovenian comments are so boring, only blind people cant see that 90% comments againts Croatia are from them. First sing about Jackie Chan (very orginal, we didnt hear that before haha) , second sing about?? (Even Slovenian dont know what they sing?Nobody cant understand that)
Then there are only Italians, Slovenians and Croatians here.
Seems legit… LOL
YES this is a LEGIMATE poll. You can see yourself the RESULTS! It says CROATIA wins. True! ROKO is the best SINGER and DREAM is the best SONG. Not just of this YEAR, but of all the YEARS. ROKO makes me so PROUD to be CROATIAN. CROATIA is winning the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST and we WELCOME you all to ZAGREB in 2020.
Oh girl, she snapped
I am CROATIAN and ROKO is CLEARLY the BEST. All of the HATEFUL people in the COMMENTS section are only RACISTS who HATE Croatians! FACT. YOU all are the same people who STOOD BY when WAR CRIMES were COMMITTED against innocent CROATIANS. Just admit it already that YOU are RACIST against CROATIANS! HATEFUL PEOPLE
Mate just because we don’t like the Croatian song does not mean we are racist. Ffs people like you are the reason the ESC fandom is toxic. Yeah it’s good that you are patriotic but don’t have to accuse others of being racist if they have an opinion.
Racist? People don’t like you because you are white? People from this comment section are definitely not the ones who stood by while the war was happening, the war that happened almost 30 YEARS ago. you need to find better points/excuses. Judging from comments on the Internet only croatians like their song, which is expected given that they selected it. Accept this and move on.
Racist dont always mean that you hate somebody because of skin colour, you can hate for many reasons. But the hate against Croatia we already ecperience this summer when was World Cup with thousounds comments on fb and instagram againts our country.
I mean…the whole world, apart from France, wanted Croatia to win.
Also RACism is about “race”. I think you might be talking about “prejudice”.
You’re talking about xenophobia, not racism. You think highly of yourself. You think that you are that important for people to dislike you. You aren’t. People literally couldn’t care less about your country or an country for that matter, they live their lives and worry about their own issues. They/we watch eurovision for fun but there are some fans like you or countries like ukraine who think eurovision is political battlefield. Foreigners don’t like your song, full stop. Stop bullying them for it. Oh, and I’m not slovenian nor italian, where did you get an idea that everyone here is… Read more »
ROFL, fake poll. Croatia is the second worst after Montenegro’s utterly ABYSMAL entry. Are Croatians spamming the poll with fake votes or did someone have the idea of trolling by putting a joke song on the top? Obviously Italy should be the winner.
Obviously to who? You? I dont see here comments from Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Polland, Spain, France….no, only Italian and Slovenian fans haha 🙂 Stop please
Recent live Croatian version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCPfh9DvuQM
It is very good, I like it, but for me version with piano is the best
Croatian, this is just pathetic.
You are just pathetic 🙂
Great for Croatia! Croatia and Albania are the best song for me this year.
I hope it will be 1.Albania 2.Croatia in Tel Aviv
rocco the vampire
????
a stupid opinion
My top 3:
1. Belgium ??
2. Croatia ??
3. Italy ??
??????
Roko life is a song – sing it, life is a DREAM – realize it .
This is why Eurovision has juries.
For Croatia this is good, because there is so much haters
I have to laugh
dumb as f ?
I see Croatian people was here xDDDDDD
Italy so far has the Best Song, Belgium the Vibe, Croatia the Voice, Estonia the Rytham and Slovenia the Stage.
Wtf… how is possible, that the worst song is the favourite…?
Because people want train wrecks at Eurovision than they want good songs and performances.
Huh …. “The Dream” is ranked 34th on 41 by the bookmakers and almost all the tops about Eurovision 2019 songs are ranking the song among the last places (if not THE last place) x)
It is not that they don’t like Croatia or Roko (that is an exceptional singer). They just don’t like “The Dream”. That’s a cheesy and boring song.
*the tops on Youtube
I mean, I don’t hate it but I don’t think it should be favourite…
I trust the Eurovision scoreboard app more.
Look away just won in Finland!
No, it is no terrible , you didnt listen at all.
Sadly I did listen to it
Can I guess , you like Slovenia and Italy ? Dudes you are just boring
Oh come on, you and I both know that’s BS. My faves are Italy, Australia, Albania, Czech Republic, Spain and Slovenia. I’m indifferent to everyone else.
And if the song is as good as the snippet, I’ll add Greece.
I never read so much bad comments about some song , Italy and Slovenian stop doing that, this start to be very annoying. Roko I watch you now on tv, I wish you all the best in May , you are so good and talented. Good luck
Why do you think everybody who doesn’t like your song must be from Italy or Slovenia?
Because this is so obviously 🙂
Completely false 😮 here in Belgium we hate it too
Yeah, from Belgium and I am from Pakistan 🙂
Miss, you are giving reasons to italian and slovenian eurofans for hating your entry. Just stop.
They already hate our entry and they give us reason to we hate their entry. Only blind people cant see that 90% comments againts Croatia are from Slovenian/Italy fans under different accounts
But why them ? Aren’t they your friends and neighbors ? I don’t get what you mean and the reason why you’re blaming the italian and slovenian eurofans. This is nonsense.
Just break it up and be cool now. Whatever one’s can say about your entry. We will see in Tel Aviv which of the croatian, italian and slovenian songs will have the best score 😉
Yes I was thinking their are friends and neighbours, but they must stop with this comments about Roko and our song. I didnt read any bad comment about Croatian song from Germany, Spain or France and they have much better songs then Italy and Slovenia.
Miss, I’m from France and my country is Croatian-friendly 😉
I don’t like “The Dream”, just the song. It doesn’t mean that I hate your country or Roko. This is a matter of personal taste. I don’t know why you think that way about italian and slovenian fans, but just break it up and calm down. There’s no reason to hate everyone just because people don’t like your entry 😉
Ok. But why so much dislikes when somebody told that like Croatian song?? For example one girl write I like Roko song and get for this 30 dislikes???? This is normal to you? This also happen when somebody tell this about Spain and France song also, but for others no, this is not normal.
I didn’t see that girl’s post, but yeah, this is not normal. Even if most of the eurofans don’t like “The Dream” (me, included) there’s still people who like it and we must respect it.
Honestly, I don’t like “Roi” (but not Bilal), then I just don’t care of the others opinion about the French entry x) But this is weird for Spain. Is there people who don’t like it ?
Not just that post, on every post when someone says something good about Croatian song there is sooo many dislikes. Also dislikes when someone says that like Bilal or Spain. For me that normal. Nobody dislikes Slovenia and Italy ( this songs are nothing special) ?! This is not strange to you? For me the best songs are from Croatia,Spain and Albania, also Bilal I like because of her personality and song is ok.
Yes! 😀
Yes, right, and I also been voted King of England.
You mean Queen of England? 🙂 Roko is the best
The difference between Rocco’s performance and a good song is the difference between a a wax figure and it’s original.
Haha how many accounts you have?
This hating to Croatia is not suprised me, when was war everybody looking and no one help us. We dont hate nobody, we just love this young and beautiful singer. Roko we wish you all the best.
The point is that you are not funny at all
it’s not political contest, just a reminder 😉
War has nothing to do with it and i’m sure Roko wouldn’t pointing this in war since his career started in Serbia. This is eurovision, not politicalvision
This must be euvrovision, but we know that it isnt. Now we see what happened with great Ukraine song.
Yes ,they withdrew because nobody wants to represent them because of their political sh*t! That’s what happens when you bring politics into contest!
Politic is in this contest from the begining.
Political voting yes but what has war that hapoened 30 years ago have to do with eurovision? You Croatian fans are absurd. I personally like your somg but others don’t so get over it! Roko wouldn’t like anyone to point this in war, you are the ones embarrassing him
There is big difference between not like and hate, read comments and you will see how they repeat that they hate our song, song is worst, artist worst,worst country…….
I love a crazy Croatian sister trying to claim that the high pitch yelling they are sending this year is art. Tell us more sweety, shall we prepare for Zagreb 2020?
We have great song and great singer, we love Roko and belive that he will win. Your comments not important to us.
Wooo Germany not last ?
Our favorite to stay in the semi LOL
We know that you hate us
Exactly x)
You are not important 🙂
Lol, true!!
I wonder why croatian fans who hijacked the poll did not help a bit their montenegrin brothers.
This hate againts my country dont suprise me at all, because when was war in Croatia everybody looking, no one want to help us. But we dont hate nobody and we are stronger then ever. This young boy Roko is so sweet, nice and talented, I want them all the best in the future.
Your country is great but your song is really bad
It’s official now; The Dream is already revamped and will be published very soon.
source?
Along with the revamped version’s music video?
Is it possible to not fake this poll only one year ? x)
But is it really? Nope.
Well, it’s very obvious that Jacqueline Houdek didn’t have time to eat a juicy donut, because all he did was rigging these poll…
top 3 because of italian eurofans,spanish eurofans and Houdek’s fans
“italian eurofans” uhm no, Italy is actually the favourite. Mahmood’s still top 3 on every top on Youtube…
Yes, favourite like last year and Gabani 🙂
Gabbani came 6th, last year they came 5th. What point are you trying to make? Italy delivers on their hype. And by the way, they weren’t even a favourite last year…
Italy always overhyped. That’s a mystery. No way Mahmood will do better than Gabani on the televote side.
trust me Mahmood will have a better televote, 2017 was really bad imo but this year the song is really good and it’s the first time i liked an Italian entry.
no, it,s not, eurofans always hype Italy, no matter that they didn’t send any good song sincr 2015
Just a bland rap
Italy sends good songs, that’s why they’re hyped.
I couldn’t agree more
