My final verdict:
The best (vocal) performance: Mia Negovetic
The most unique song: Aklea Neon
13. He was very pitchy in the second part of the song.
14. Nice try (choreo, pyro etc), but not good enough.
15. She was fantastic, great live performance!
16. Strong voice. Bad song.
9. This had three different songs in one. Not very cohesive.
10. Not bad, but not good enough. He looked bored. Props for choreo and visuals.
11. She sounded fantastic at times, but the song is not as good as the Tower of Babylon.
12. Great energy! Her English is dreadful tho.
5. Quite a repetitive song, but at least they had a choreo….sort of.
6. Great vocals! The song/lyrics a bit meh…
7. The most promising performance so far (her accent tho :-o)
8. Serhat, is that you?
1. The first song was absolutely dreadful.
2. Good vocal performance, but a boring song.
3. Lame….but at least he had some visuals on the screen.
4. This was very painful to listen to…

Entirely off topic, but out of curiosity I looked up what people were saying about Still in Love with You here when it came out. One person said they’d vote for it from Australia since they couldn’t vote for Scooch back in the day. The other said it’d be a question of whether it or Goodbye to Yesterday would be the more successful duet. Hindsight is such a fascinating thing. This has nothing to do with Croatia, but I felt like sharing.
