passionpopCroatia have been in Eurovision since 1993, but prior to then a number of the acts representing Yugoslavia were Croatian, including their only winner, Riva with "Rock Me'
In recent years Croatia has sent rubbish to Eurovision, to the point where I have been ashamed to admit my own Croatian heritage in Eurovision circles. They are however making baby steps in their improvements... midget baby steps...
When I first heard this song, it was the Croatian version, which i think is mush better than the English version. I dont get the whole point in upbeat songs that are about going out, why they mention 'love' randomly in the song. One line, 'Love is here to stay'. in respect to the rest of the lines in that verse and the lines in the chorus following, that line stands out like a sore thumb. non sequitur anyone?
Maybe this song will be better live, but i doubt it. Feminnem were somehow worse last year live.there are too many strong dancey numbers this year so Daria would have to pull an amazing performance out of her arse to finish top ten this year.
I live in hope that Croatia will send something good into Eurovision next year. for now I will go back to a time where mens hair was shaped like a Ken-doll and had enough oil in it to make the Exxon Valdez look like a trickle in the ocean....
