🇭🇷 Baby Lasagna on "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" and Dora 2024 (Croatia Eurovision selection)

Baby Lasagna - real name Marko Purišić - joined the Dora 2024 lineup after Zsa Zsa pulled out. Now he’s a fan favourite to sing for Croatia at Eurovision 2024.
Among other things, he tells us about the stress of joining the national selection last minute, the powerful story behind his song, and where his stage name comes from.

I am Croatian and I will be voting for him!!! Finally a fresh sound in our music scene

[@Wiwibloggs]

Definitely fresh 💥 ❤️

[@myotix]

As a Finn I've seen tons of interviews of Käärijä, and it appears Baby Lasagna has a similar recipe as he does; humble, genuine, Rammstein and a "random guy from a town xx". I really hope it will carry him to victory in Dora, and a nice journey to Eurovision. Also, Käärijä once said he'd like to visit Croatia, I really hope those two will get to meet one day :D

[@Wiwibloggs]

Great comparison!

[@dfdeejay7632]

Zsa Zsa you did your job and thank you so much...Now Croatians,it"s your turn :)

[@An89Go]

The fact he was ONLY on reserve list raises a lot of questions and this means HRT should be asked... And those who were in the selection committee!

[@rrribizl]

for that same reason I don't think he will be "picked" by HRT to win this. hope I'm wrong

[@Gea2222]

Not the music expert chose songs but HRT workers shame

[@kristijanEX]

This is why Dora needs to happen, if it was up to the juries, he wouldn't even be in the top 50 selection.

[@klaudijabogdanovski]

They are bloody useless. Hopefully, this year, they will get it right.

[@timgriffin2021]

Gosh, the story is so touching. Sending love ❤❤❤

[@Kris-lp5ir]

Baby Lasagna = the 🔑 to ESC ZAGREB 2025 🎉🇭🇷🏆🇸🇪🥳

[@Unfortunatesoul00]

Literally he saved the dora2024. Only promising song in the dora, i hope he can make it to malmo.

[@Fizzyivore]

He is a really nice guy. Like his song even more now. Hopefully Croatia make the right choices. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@MarlonTorres-ce9wu]

Marko you have massive support, you will win televote, just hope Croatian jury will not f... up again...

[@Fizzyivore]

Iam more scared with Croatian televote

[@northpole6903]

Actually ever since Dora returned in 2019. Croatia was consistently sending televote fav so I am not sure what you're talking about.

[@ceciliaigl6412]

Otkad si pobjedio,svaki dan slušam komemtare iz cijelog svijeta.Doslovno svaki dan. Svaka čast na pjesmu. Nikad bolje nigdje nisam čula. Sve najbolje dalje❤

[@dominicgd2768]

He is so charismatic and his song is a massive bop. I hope he wins! ❤

[@alinaorlov5099]

Yes, he is so real ❤

[@zuska168]

I'm a 55 year old lady from Croatia.When i heard this song i said that is it This song is for the Eurovsion.I like it.When iam cooking i sing and dance on it.And this boy is so nice,i wish him luck in Dora .

[@kyrinasenci]

I am 66 and my reaction to a song is the same! Although I even cried when I saw the official video and his departure at the end. It's so sad how croatian youth is forced to search their place under sun elswhere.

[@lilcroissant9656]

He's kinda cute. I like how he thinks. Seems humble and intelligent. Možeš ti to, Marko! Just make it energetic and colorful and perhaps include a cat in some way (at least someone saying meow back) 😅😹

[@charlotte9157]

He's so honest and humble, yet so smart! Best of luck, you have all 20 of my votes ❤

[@angelazubrinic2036]

Dragi Marko, nesamo da si odlican muzicar, plesac , pristojan, divan,,nego si tako divno odgojen, nisi bahat, i to jedivno, OSTANI takav, zelim ti puno uspjeha, donesi evroviziju u Hrvatsku! Da svi budemo ponosni!,, Pozdrav izHolandije!,, pjesma je pravo remek djelo, ati si King na pozornici!,,, Molim te nemoj nista mjenjati, sve je upravo savrseno , i odjeca , i frizurai pjevanje , ples, video sve .sve!,,,,, Bravo,, (da li dolazite uHolandiju, ako da , kada?)

[@Ana-pt9nl]

Marko naoružaj se samopouzdanjem i samo jako naprijed, fantastičan si!! Pjesma je hit, iskreno mene kao nekog tko je otišao iz RH prije 6 godina totalno dirnule riječi...

[@starteamplus]

Thank you for promoting him. I hope Crotia sees this and other wiwi video.

[@Wiwibloggs]

I hope so too!

[@stelalala8887]

It's not that hard considering wiwis are the only reliable source of information about all the candidates, I know for a fact Croatian ESC fan base gathers most of their information from Wiwibloggs. It's so sad to hear Duško mumbling about absolutely nothing in the SF and the Finals while we have to find out important infos about songs and performers from youtube (it still makes me sooo mad that we knew for months Sheldon Riley is autistic and our journalists practically laughed when they saw his mask and staging). So have no fear you guys, let's just hope you have many more interviews with Marko live in Sweden! 🎉🎉

[@AntonioR05]

im praying as a Croat for his win.I will vote for him

[@goranjerkodujmovic8526]

What a fantastic human being! Wish him all the best in the competition!

[@Wiwibloggs]

Agree! He is so humble.

[@mirelarastoder3320]

The best interview... William ❤ Baby lasagna ❤ 🤞Zagreb '25🤞

[@AlcatrazHR]

It's incredible how modest, humble and nice he is. Although he had already traveled the Europe with his former band (Manntra), he is not pretentious at all, like most musicians. I sincerely hope that Dora and Eurosong will give him the opportunity to show himself to the world in the best light, and that it will be a springboard for a successful career. I always support musicians who are also good people! 🙂 Good luck Marko! 👏

[@Wiwibloggs]

Fabulous artist, beautiful spirit 💙🙏🏻

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

Manntra won #1 album in Germany, if I'm not mistaken...

He seems so sweet and humble. Reminds me a bit of Kaarija. This song is the best of I've heard so far for this year!

As a Croatian who left the country, I won't be able to vote for him, but he is a refreshing face (and voice) on the Dora stage so I am hoping other Croatians vote for him and that he will represent us in Malmo!! :)

When I watched his performance, I immediately thought of Maneskin, and specially of Damiano. His performance reminds me of his, but I don't understand the comparison to Finland last year.

[@Unfortunatesoul00]

When i first heard rim tim tagi dim i instantly fell in love with that masterpiece same as when i first saw this interview i instantly fell in love with marko. After many many months i watched this interview again and it made me cry out of pride, happiness and bittersweetness. How far he went, how much he improved himself is so amazing and im so glad to get a chance to witness his career improvement from the beginning. I wish him all the best, he deserves all the good things in the world🥹🤍 if/when you see this comment you can check out his new single biggie boom boom. Its fresh out of the oven and its a masterpiece like rim tim tagi dim or ig boy.

[@xychromosomexx]

Good luck on Dora.

[@Tiborcek]

Questions should be raised regarding the "expertise" of the committee that decided he wasn't even in the top 24 entries. If Baby Lasagna wins the Eurovision, heads should roll.

I write poetry and last year i wrote a song about leaving the country, its a sad poem about leaving the love one just because financial problems and also feeling insecure about myself, i would love if I could write something for you, this lyrics im feeling right now : Kažeš da mi ne treba nitko, jesam li pozlačen? Teško je bilo skrivati tajnu, mogao bih biti odbačen. Ako utonem u san, bit ću izgubljen, ali ne mogu bježati od stvarnosti, Ja sam rob tvoje zabrinutosti.

Guys, bad news! The main leaked audio video for Rim Tim Tagi Dim that had been accumulating almost 50,000 views in several days has been removed! I think the KZbin channel got deleted for copyright! Also, the other one that had slightly less views is gone too! Are the runners of Dora and the jury trying to stop the virality of the song and put it down so that it doesn’t accumulate support?!

[@starteamplus]

No, Dora hasn't officially released the songs.

[@escmadeira]

I've just watched last video from General Knowlegde about regions that can be part for another country and Istria was there! Maybe Baby Lasagna talks on croatian leaving the country but from his region 🤔

[@svarogbalkanski3005]

OMG what you just said even you dont know

[@AlcatrazHR]

What?! 😅

[@im.joeyb.]

I've visited Istria twice and as far as I know the Croatians over there still want to belong to Croatia. The only thing that's different from the rest of Croatia is that a lot of buildings have Italian influences. I watch General Knowledge too. Just take a lot with a grain of salt and ask the people themselves. He's been wrong in the past...

[@escmadeira]

@@im.joeyb. in the video u see he's said that exist one group there that want to take part with italy but that group is small and with no relevance to convice that to other croatians in Istria

[@doppel5627]

Istrian Croats don't want to join Italy. Maybe there are some Istrian Italians who would like that but most of them don't mind being in Croatia since Istria is completely bilingual. Besides that, Istria is one of most developed parts of Croatia. If it would join Italy, it would be one od poorer regions.
