Mia Dimšić won both the Jury and public vote outright at Dora 2022. By contrast Andrea won the North Macedonian selection Za Evrosong 2022 after a tie-break which was decided by Andrea's win of the Jury vote. If it was decided by the public vote as many countries do, we would have Superman. 

Andrea warbles her way through a song that could be so much better if it was musically different, perhaps a different genre. Mia has the right genre for her song but it is a story that is problematic. It is essentially a song about having an affair but not wanting the insecurity of leaving the relationship she is in. It is not anything a listener can be empathetic with despite the emotion. Mia is musically better but this is a song sontest and you need a whole song. 

In the end these songs have a long way to go in their respective Semis to make it to the final where they have to both fight from 11th in the performance. With both songs being problematic, neither will win the final

This round goes to Croatia
