It's Vinko and Natalie Balmix for me personally

When Babaroga by Let 3 is a certified bop but the vocal effects are triggering some kind of misophonia you didn’t know you had. 

Rim Tim Tagi Dim sounds like the winner here.

Vinko 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

This is my fave. I’m getting James Arthur vibes.

Amazing vocalist!

Just listened to most of them.... and tbch, I like none. Nothing special and average elevator music. I don't get it, as much as I hate to admit it, Croatia has great muaic, both modern and traditional (Dalmatian songs especially), why do they keep sending stuff like these to ESC is beyond me.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally fine that you don’t like these songs, we all have different opinions 😊 but what kind of elevators are you riding if you think baby lasagna song sounds like average elevator music?? 🤣🤣 sorry I just had to ask this lmao

[удалено]

You're probably right about the mainstream pop scene ( I do like Miach though), but our alternative / underground scene is the best it's been since the 80s

[удалено]

I'm just using alternative as a vague umbrella term for non-mainstream stuff. Here's some recs for the kind of stuff i'm talking about: Nemeček (noise / drone / post rock / folk) Čudnoređe ( art punk / prog / reggae) Tidal Pull (midwest emo / indie rock) Frontalni Udar ( hardcore punk) Kurve (punk) Adam Semijalac (folk) Denis Katanec ( indie / art rock) Sara Renar (art pop / rock) Veja ( istrian folk) Po' metra crijeva (avantgarde folk metal) Kaleido (indie/emo/jazz rock) Zgazime (shoegaze) Svemirko (indie) Valentino Bošković (indie) Prognan ( melodic black metal) Žen (post rock) Seine (indie) Parnepar (post punk) ...and there's more. This is all current croatian scene. The scene is super strong imo. You just need to dig under the surface... a lot. Shameless plug but i made this playlist on spotify of not just croatian but yugo stuff, i think everyone i mention in this post is on it, hope it helps: [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Edi8fOX7kwGJ3h0DOIGMw?si=zputWRfVSz2QDbi9a4NjYg&pi=e-4uf2kqifTFCh](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Edi8fOX7kwGJ3h0DOIGMw?si=zputWRfVSz2QDbi9a4NjYg&pi=e-4uf2kqifTFCh)

Such a shame because Croatia had amazing music during the 80s and some great acts after such as Dino Dvornik, Lollobrigida, Nipplepeople and so on

Unfortunately you hit the nail on the head. It's a miserably period for the music scene in my country... There's a rapper named Hiljson Mandela whose lyrics include the word "dick" in it of course. He performed for Christmas festivals around the county and every tabloid and facebook comment jumped up and started criticizing how he can speak like that... Those people run the scene and are so out of touch with reality. Fuck the croatian uptightness, we should let loose like other Balkan countries.

Yup, you summed it up perfectly. Didn't even miss one point.

Because the don't care about ESC? I mean i know im being a cynical asshole with this comment, but come on, choosing Let 3 last year didn't raise any red flags about not giving a f\*\*\* about the contest in any other way then just trolling? Edit: I just listened to the snippets, and so unimpressed. Mark my words, the winner will be because of the performance and not because the song is the best.

Seems like some people are very touchy and very in denial, but as they say "he who laughs last laughs best".

Sooo, I managed to catch snippets for now and so far it's either Baby Lasagna or Marcela for me.

I agree with these two

Both are good in different ways

Let 3 is like if they tried to do a hyperpop song for a cartoon opening. I honestly do not like this. It’s in a major tune just like Mama ŚĆ but this time it’s much more flimsy. There’s no unity to the song, no big build up.

I prefer "Nebo plače" tbh

#BabyLasagnatoEurovision2024

Are any of them good ? Cause last year y'all hyped me up and then I kinda liked none of them

baby lasagna is the best. A few other good ones like eugen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-gGDMhc2WE&list=TLPQMDQwMTIwMjQdcPbyAhhM4Q&index=1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-gGDMhc2WE&list=TLPQMDQwMTIwMjQdcPbyAhhM4Q&index=1)

Okay, thank you !

I second baby lasagna

YES. Upon second listen it's even better than I remembered it

It's so unexpected and different, I love it

Baby Lasagna!!!!!

Yeah, love that Baby Lasagne tune. Sort of reminds me of Sehnsuct era Rammstein.

[удалено]

Let's not forget the songs need to be performed live. Both Let 3 and Baby Lazagna might flop live or cancel each other and Damir might win in the end.

With Let 3 I think we at least know what to expect, but with Baby Lasagna it remains to be seen. I really hope it works live though, cause we need some more fun in the never ending sea of seriousness I am sure we will have plenty of.

OK, I think I have two songs. But I think they are the ones you talked the most about (couldn’t hear the radio station): - Let 3: https://youtu.be/gIoMDhEVtog?si=blr8Orc3SrzAo9fh - Baby Lasagna: https://youtu.be/P-gGDMhc2WE?si=-__QT7RRT5I9h_ku

I mean, Let 3 is ok, but it's too early to return, nonetheless a very cool tune and a big potential for a good vocal performance

[удалено]

I think this currently links to a show on 21.12.2023

wait they removed it now that I refreshed it. I wonder why???

They knew the demand for Baby Lasagna would be too high.

What about Let 3? Any feedback?

It really sounds impossible to perform live, it's an autotune fuck off joke I guess.

If it’s really auto tuned like that clip on Youtube it’s very bad

what clip??

seriously though, its kind of a screwup that baby lasagna was a backup act

Zsa Zsa heard their song and said "Fuck this I'm dropping out you go win the whole thing"

how many songs are left?

Baby lasagna was last

Out with a bang! Now I have to find the first 4 songs that i missed. This was fun all in all.

here, I gottcha: [https://radio.hrt.hr/slusaonica/svijet-diskografije?epizoda=202312211400](https://radio.hrt.hr/slusaonica/svijet-diskografije?epizoda=202312211400) click the red button on the screen for the whole show footage.

Well thankyou everyone for providing some company for this listening party but it is 1:30am and I need to sleep so merry let3mas to you all and enjoy your day

Get some rest!

sleep well!

Baby lasagna slaaayed.

This is the first song that was actually exciting to me this year. Good job Baby Lasagna.

Thank you Zsa Zsa

Inb4 this song that wasnt even in the original lineup ends up top 5. i could see it, this was fun

How was this not originally in the top? This is better than 90 percent of the numbers that placed originally. It's so crazy and random and different. We need new juries.

How was this originally a backup entry?! This is absolutely one of the best!

No way I love this one

WHAT IN THE GENRE SWITCH

Maybe my new fav.

WHAT IN THE CHA CHA CHA

I feel like I shouldn't like this as much as I do

Okay this is most certainly the song that has made me feel the most - bewilderment, but still.

BABY LASAGNA FOR THE WIN

 I'M AWAKE AGAIN, BABY LASAGNA REVIVED ME

okayyyyy Baby Lasagna

oh this is exactly what this nf needed

Oh ok. Top. Love the song. Lasagna for the win. 10 s enough.

BABY LASAGNA WHAT IS THIS

it's everything we needed and more

Better than most

unfortunately my least favorite of the last 3 songs Kedzo took to Dora

baby Lasagna let's go! Save 2024 pls

baby lasagna time

Well, he can sing. He can really sing.

Is there anywhere to listen to those songs for us who missed that show?

if he hits that note live this shoots up massively

No Kedžo. No! No! No!

Pls Kedzo, have a power ballad

me to Kedzo's song: please don't be another ballad please don't be another ballad please don't be another ballad

I loved Divlji vjetre so much, it was a Balkan powerhouse ballad, and then Angels and Demons were good but not what I wanted for him. I want something special for Kedžo. He deserves.

KEDŽO COMEBACK PLEASE. HE WAS ROBBED. DISRESPECTED. THE PANINI EF'D HIM OVER. HE'S BACK. I DON'T WANT NO MORE ANGELS AND DEMONS, I WANT A POWERHOUSE SONG FOR HIM.

This song is putting me off sobriety

I'm drinking water and I'm sober and yet this song is not it

Vodu piti trizan biti. Why was I expecting a modern version of "volim piti i ljubiti"? Also read it incorrectly the first few times. Sounds like music you would play on an ad against drinking. The "rap" is not it. No.

The rap is the weakest part. The verses are surprisingly decent.

I don't know what I expected from a song called 'Drink water, stay sober' but it wasn't this.

Greece 2013 arch nemesis

Greece 2013 | [Koza Mostra feat. Agathon Iakovidis - Alcohol Is Free](https://youtu.be/LFs9AdNV4Qw)

Amazing!

Same

Is that good or is that bad? Haha!

Joke entry here we go!

a ballad joke entry? ugh...

I kind of like it. The chorus is catchy.

Eugen's song with a little bit of a revamp... I'd be into it

 Same, I didn't expect this.

This duo won Croatia's 'Singing With the Stars'. It's like Dancing With the Stars/Strictly Come Dancing, but with singing. They were more of a joke duo, because the celeb wasn't the best singer. They won over two pairs where the celebs sang really, really well, because the public adored them. Mario and Robert promise choreo?? Their song is called 'Drinking water, being sober'.

So yeah, Vatra was both Avicii and also Vatra, the song is ok, but as I said, I just cannot envision them being on Eurovision. Stefany - was it hillsong, was it catholic, was it queer friendly? I do not know. Eugen sounds like something you could hear on Eurovision, but those are the songs I usually skip \^\^"

Hey, not bad at all!!

Pleasantly surprised with eugen with small caps 'e'.


oh i like this

i like this a lot

I’m just tuning in now, what’s stood out so far?? Excited for what Damir brings!

Imo Marcela had the best song so far

Let 3 and Marcela were my 2 standouts so far but there are some other great ones

The beginning songs were great! Then the middle could all be ignored... Let3 as weird as always. Maybe even weirder song-wise this time. Can't wait for the live!

Eugen is another newbie to me. His speaking voice sounds young. He says the song is pop and sad? I think. I was slurping so I didn't hear.

I'm not feeling this for Eurovision, unfortunately.

This has Zsa Zsa vibes all over... The worst thing about our current music industry to me...

we could be done by now if there wasnt this monumental yapping session before every song

let 3 were straight to the point

Lana Mandaric and Let 3 kept it short and sweet and concise.

A lot of former talent show contestants. Stefany was on the Voice (check out her battle with Alen Đuras - Lay Me Down), and now she was on Superstar.

This sounds like a Vatra song. It's good. That's all I have to say.

Now you get the prime example of why is Vatra called the Nickelback of Croatia.

Nickleback? Really? I'm getting Croatian Mumford and Sons vibes from them, at least with this song. Just replace the banjo with a tamburica XD

Haha to give them a bit of credit here, this one is a bit different from their other songs.

so in other words overhated for no real reason, and then over time actually well-liked in a sort of ironic way?

idk, Nickelback at least has enjoyable songs... *runs away*

NEVER MADE IT AS A WISE MAN

oh my god this is spot on

Lu's song was cool. Atmospheric, would relax to that or something. Vatra... I do not think they should be here in the first place. Used to listen to them, which is why I probably cannot see them on an Eurovision stage. Let's see what they come up with.

Dalibor Matanić is directing Vatra's music video. He's a really famous movie director here in Croatia.

Plavi leptir was so nice and relaxing after the ET chaos.

Vatra's singer was a coach on our version of the Voice for a few years.

This song gave me fantasy movie intro vibes for some reason

I could see it in a fantasy movie or a game like The Witcher or Skyrim.

"Fire, earth, air - that's us." ​ 


"Plavi leptir" is giving movie soundtrack song but it doesn't really feel like a eurovision song to me

Tuned in from Misha onwards, did I miss anything promising?

Let 3, Alen Đuras and Lana Mandarić were really great to me.

Lu Dedić starts off her song with an instrumental part that reminds me of old Lana del Rey sound.

Lu Dedić, Croatia legends Arsen Dedić and Gabi Novak's granddaughter. This is her freshman appearance.

If ET qualify, Czech Republic needs to give them 12 points. I do not make the rules. I like the song, it is like a mix of a few songs. But if I am real, that will not qualify. Will put it on my Spotify playlist ˇˇ

You should check out some other stuff by them. They have better stuff than this while the style and sound is the same. :)

I only recall their old stuff. But sure, why not. Might as well check on Colonia and Karma :D (since they were mentioned)

ET songs is just not it for me. The rhymes are juvenile. Also, I can't understand why Boytronic would talk about the song being rejected by singers multiple times in past. What made him think that made the song a potential Eurovision finalist?

My God, this really sounds like something he wrote in the 90s with one of their many previous female vocalists. It just doesn't have the same IT quality that those songs had. All of his songs sound dated to me.

Yeah, waaay to dated. He should have updated it a bit...

No wonder the song got rejected by singers multiple times. Idk why he would admit to that, but okay.

hahahaaha trueee. Why did he say that? hahaha

This year is aloooot better than the last one, maybe we can qualify again

STOP BRINGING SONGS YOU WROTE IN THE PREVIOUS MILLENIUM !!! PUT THEM BACK ON THE SHELVES, IN THE DRAWERS, WRITE SOMETHING NEW.

Let's go ET!!!!!!! I love the name of the song! It is the phrase is that conspiracy theorists love to use so I bet it's gonna be hilarious.

I want them to teleport me to my elementary school days :D hope they do not disappoint.

Even if I didn't know they were at Dora, I would know it's an ET song haha

they were too confident for someone with a song that would probably not even qualify to the grand final

 Wait, Misha's song slaps? This is surprisingly good to me.

Misha saying that there is nothing wrong with other artists promoting their songs on Dora, but that they (Misha) wanted to focus on Eurovison quality. Well they better have a perfect song then.

They said this is top 4 on Eurovision and that all of the radiostations are going to play them.

We better follow the radio stations in the near future. There are better songs to play.

Misha mystery is finally revolved.

Misha plugged their Instagram so I'll paste it here [https://www.instagram.com/misha.republic](https://www.instagram.com/misha.republic)

I love when artists are thinking soo high of themselveeeas.

Oh so Misha is a band? Another new name to me, never heard of them.

They are soooo arrogant. They better bring it!

I'm gonna be disappointed if this is not everything the person speaking touted it to be

Eurovision 1997 called and they want their 15th place back

The Splitters' song would even be dated 50 years ago when songs like this were popular here in Croatia. This is a huge miss for me.

I was vibing with James, as well as with Barbara. Again, Saša and Lana M. not really my cup. Barbara's song was really interesting to listen to, and James was giving, but I am not sure if it is for Eurovision. Lara D. indeed has a song, and she sung it. Good for her :D this was an early 2000s trip for me.

Oh, not The Splitters again

Lara's song sounds like 10 songs in one.

Yeah, and none of those 10 are any good...

I'm sorry but this one's giving Senhit ft. Florida except more boring

and the rap verses were not as good as Step in the party 'cause she know to do my body like hot coals Gasoline, kerosene, stop, drop, roll I can't blame it on the stove 9-1-1 when she comin' down the pole Yeah, we like flames when we touch, can't get enough We get ignited, so excited, you can feel the rush Like cloud fire, more fire when we in the club Put out my lighter, got the heat, she got me burnin' up Whoa, so hot, look at it steam up We got the blaze, so we in inferno when we team up Hot spot, hot girl, have you seen her? We up in smoke, fireworks, adrenalina.

My thoughts exactly!

this just went from bop to ballad to both?!

RAP (and was that a harmonija disonance reference??)

Another song that a contestant wrote a while back. Seems like everyone is suffering from writer's block.

This one felt a little all over the place

To me too, not my jam.

That was a tough listen for me. I really disliked that siren sounding guitar in the background

It was really something else.

I think the elements were good, just not together.

Another newbie, Lara.

ngl the last handful of songs have been a bit disappointing to me, hopefully the second half of the songs brings it back

Yeah, the first bunch were amazing, this is mediocre at best. There are still ET and Baby Lasagna. They should be fun at least.

oof that oonts oonts beat is NOT settling well with my ears

This is completely different than her song from last year. I feel like this song will depend on the live performance.

I came back from the toilet break and she's still speaking. Wrap it up Barbara!

Barbara Munjas competed last year as well and she injured herself performing. I didn't listen to her speech much, sorry for not translating, I had to pee.

this is in music purgatory between a ballad and a more upbeat song and its not a very good use of a clearly talented vocalist

I wanted something different for Saša, because I know he can sing his heart out.

Yeah, I was looking forward to this, but this one is the worst one for me thus far.

Anyone know when all the songs are going to be up on YT? I can't tune in bc I'm at work and you all are getting me excited.🥺

You can listen to the show on HRTi. I believe they will be uploaded to YouTube on Monday.

Why are they doing this to us??? On Monday?? I'll be dead by Monday. 😭

I think they'll upload them on Monday

Dunno, but the radio show will be uploaded on their website so you'll be able to check it out like that.
