CROATIA ended in 27th place and Morten Thomassen discussed that. ESC Covers google translated it from Norwegian to English.

To end up in 11th place in their semifinal is always sour, but when you lack 29 points to beat the country that came in 10th place, you are still lost in the battle for a final place. Our Croatian friend Mia Dimsic received this dubious honor in the first semifinal.

However, her position must be seen as a bit of a victory if you think about how thoroughly her song was slaughtered by the panel in Adresse Torino, in terms of results, they probably did not have their best year.

In terms of points, Mia got a little more points from the juries than from the people and good neighbors are always good to have, the Slovenes gave over 25% of all points this song got, you could say that it was their “Guilty Pleasure”.

Mostly she got points on the lower part of the scale so then you struggle when it is a final place that is the goal.

So why did she not reach that goal then, well I think there were many small streams here that struck.

The song itself is nice enough, vocals it was suitably steady, maybe more thin vocals at times.

For me, there was a little too much lack of intensity in the performance and what the three dancers did was probably more confusing than telling to those who watched.

Our Croatian winners have not qualified for the final since 2017 and are probably struggling a bit to find the form in this competition, maybe try something that is not too similar to the type of pop music we hear every day, but rather try something that sounds more Croatian next time ?
