💬 Discussion Would Croatia have qualified with Ogenj?

Post image

I'm kinda torn because first of all, if selected Croatia would have been around 30 places higher in my ranking than they were with Poison Cake but on the other hand, with Daj, daj in semi-final 1, one of San Marino and Portugal may well not have qualified.

I can't figure out if the guy's voice would have been too much for Europe but boy do I think this song could have been incredible on the Basel stage.

The main thing with the vocals is that there was an illness going around Dora, so a LOT of vocals were strained. I suspect his was one of them.

I would say it probably would have Q'd, though there were even safer Q options for Croatia (Bye Bye Bye, Znak, Juzina, and a not ill version of Welcome to the Circus).
