CROATIA EUROVISION 2024 REACTION - BABY LASAGNA - RIM TIM TAGI DIM

[@ar50000]

I hate it. Past Croatian songs have been beautiful.

[@gordanamarijavukovic2424]

I love Baby Lasagna because he has the courage to be what he is. Original, natural, normal, special, charismatic, just like the song itself, which hides a somewhat sad story about love for its place and people, about loneliness and anxiety that accompanies him on the path he chose. I don't know why, but no song on Dora, (except maybe a little Vinko and Damir) "shook" me as much as Rim Tim Tagi Dim. My favorite this year at both Dora and ESC.

i love this song the most this year on ESC, it is so catchy but I doubt it will win

[@erinnadia0409]

The sleeves are actually inspired by traditional Croatian clothing, Käärijä didn't invent puffy sleeves ❤

[@Niki91-HR]

Plus Kaarijas sleeves were more like arms of Hulk xD

[@F-oxi-e]

Yes, that is exactly what all the world will think - that this is traditional Croatian clothing...😅 Be honest - nobody really knows any country's traditional clothing but their own. But what they will remember - Kaarja's performance..

[@Niki91-HR]

@@F-oxi-e ah come on...some things can be recognized as traditional or old school. Even if you didnt know those sleeves were traditional they could be even maybe from baroque times for example. These types of sleeves are old fashioned either way so I dont think its that hard. But it still hasnt any similarity with Käärijas outfit.

[@Barutifull]

@@Niki91-HRhe said on an interview they may change the clothing

[@Niki91-HR]

@@Barutifull He said he wants to do the performance and everything like 10x more....which could also mean he will enhance the outfit. Maybe he will even dye his hair. We will see what he will change but tbh it can only get better if you ask me

[@iurietivladut7607]

the message of the song is simple ; no matter where we, THE BALKANS, go abroad, we will always miss the rim tim tagi dim from our home country! And this is NOT KAARIJA! This is Croatia!

[@joex5380]

Hey guys!!! ☺I don't know who told you about angry fans reacting, but Baby Lasagna is (actually now was lol) an unknown artist in Croatia, no record labels behind him before (he wasn't even on Dora - National Selection list, but was a RESERVE, and by luck got in when another artist withdrew), so he had much less time to prepare everything for his performance and also his first live performances singing were on that stage. He's an extremely down to Earth guy, and people got to like the song and him so much that he landslided televote with 53% yesterday. It was a beautiful underdog story and that's why people grew fond of him so much. In his song, he's talking about a serious issue in Croatia that's been affecting the country in past years - the immigration of young people (mostly to Western Europe) for better opportunities/jobs in a more light-hearted way 'let's all dance one more last dance rim tim tagi dim' as a farewell before leaving his village life. The outfits are as well inspired by national folklore outfits mixed with a bit of rock/metal vibe. The Croatian broadcaster is not known to be the most efficient/good with production (AND SOUND) and there were many issues during the shows, so I'm guessing everything will be a little better in Sweden on a big stage. I knew you wouldn't like this song, of course it's not your style and we have no problem with that. Everyone has a different musical taste. 😄 Croatians are very proud of him, especially being 2nd in the odds to win, we never experienced this madness before and we support him and wish him the best on Eurovision. Cheers guys!🥳

Why are you all comparing him to Kaarja???. Because of the sleeve? Those sleeves are part of the nationl costume from Istria, where he lives. I do not understand. Because of the dance? Green lights on stage? Because text? I haven't heard them sing about the same topics, nor have I heard the same tones.

Look people will be comparing. Just like Saba is compared to Loreen and Malta lass is compared to Noa Kirel and Noa Kirel is compared to Chanel and the list goes on. Welcome to Eurovision. Who cares in the end?

I'm really surprised!😃 I always appreciate your comments and I can't believe you didn't recognize the capacity of this song?!? And many - they are! The greatness of this song is that it is a mixture of many styles that works perfectly. Beneath the seemingly happy song is the sadness of a young man who leaves his small village, which gives him farewell. And he knows there is no going back.

[@cokolesnik]

As a Slovenian theme of the song resonates with me strongly. It's about young people leaving their homeland in search for better life even if they don't necessarily want to. The song is catchy and I just love that it was a reserve and now it won Dora. I love a good underdog story :) But I knew you would not like it and that's fine. :)

[@cokolesnik]

@mario490 awww thank you!

[@localocaloca0804]

This was the 1st time he was singing on a stage as the frontman. He can sing better but he was very nervous, self-critical and inexperienced with that type of performance. The song is waaay deeper than it seems and he is one of the most down-to-earth, intelligent, honest, humble people I have ever heard speaking on tv. This song is about people having to leave their villages, small towns and even countries because of bad economy and/or corruption in the places where they live. He was inspired to write this song when one of his friends immigrated to Germany. He doesn't leave his small town nor the region Istria where he lives because he loves it with all his heart and he feels sorry that so many people leave our beautiful country and he is sad. He depicts the emotional state of the people who leave their homes because they have to or because there is no future for them where they live. The costumes and the music follows the text of the song emotionally and visually.

[@SheReadsAndSings]

I love you guys and usually agree with you. But I LOVE this entry! 1st entry that has me excited for the live performances this year. 😊

[@gjbsarmeri3957]

I think people overlook the amount of potential and talent this guy says. He just started singing recently and the semi final and final was the first time he sang live. So he had to sing and dance with the pressure of being a favorite to win and I think he did a pretty good job. Some things need improvement but that's why there is 2 and a half months to practise before Eurovision. I have no doubt that he will improve everything

[@Nash-NYC]

Also Dora’s production was 💩 let’s be clear. There were some questionable songs and singing on this Dora, holly shit it was bad!! This was the only song that was a banger. Now, I feel like this is half-baked but HUGE potential. I love it and I think idea is there, song is there, charisma is there but it all just needs to be packed properly for Eurovision and it will give Croatia good result no doubt

[@zsokapados5197]

This entry is such a breeze of fresh air! Actually the song has a deep meaning. I love how dynamic this song is, and he is such a humble person in real life. Happy that finally it's Croatia's time to shine! So happy they selected him! He swept the televote with more than 50% of the full votes. He doesn't even in the selection originally, he was a backup. Love this entry so much! And he is nothing to do with Kaarija...

[@stuartwho]

He swept the televote with way more than 50%. Can’t quite remember but he got almost 250 votes, second only had about 24. It was a landslide and he also beat last years entrants Let3. This song has got my top marks. Would be nice to have a new winner. Last was Portugal but I didn’t like that song. Rember when we got an 8 year run of new winners back in the 00s. Be nice to go to Zagreb.

[@erinnadia0409]

The difference between the semi and final is like day and night. They had sound issues, and he did have a lot of anxiety but improved so much more for the final performance

[@sarahenchanted]

hello just some context about the song: So in a nutshell, it's about a man leaving his small farm town for a big city or a new country. In recent years in Croatia (and many places) because of economic issues many young people leave their hometowns for opportunities elsewhere and this song is meant to symbolize a last hurrah with the people you grew up with. A lot of people relate to this a lot (especially in Eastern Europe and the Balkans but I think anyone can no matter where they are) and that's where part of the appeal comes from. This winning isn't a long shot as long as he improves his vocals a bit and maybe tweak the staging. (I think SVT will do camera angles more justice than HRT) There are inevitably gonna be comparisons to Cha Cha Cha, but both artists are very influenced by Rammstein and I think Käärijä is opening doors for more "out there" songs to have a space in the contest and be successful.

[@nolol1040]

the first time Croatia has ever been my winner - and this wasn't even supposed to be in the national final in the first place, it was a reserve song and it got in when someone else dropped out! Croatian public are VERY angry at their broadcaster right now (and completely deserved in my opinion)

[@ToyAndGoy]

Why are they angry ?

[@nolol1040]

@@ToyAndGoy They are angry because HRT picked 24 other (very mediocre) songs over this. This landslided the public vote by 53% out of 24 other songs, and Croatians are angry at their broadcaster for not putting this song in the selection in the first place. It makes people wonder how many other potential winners have been missed out on over the years... but of course Croatians are very relieved this won!!!

I'm sick of nonsense and arguing about copying! If someone does not like Baby Lasagna then let him not vote for him if he fears the success of the Croatian representative his problem! Everyone is a little copy of everyone! Let’s go play! Meow🐱Go Lasagna the winner of our ❤❤❤

[@sachmetmuller1298]

You are not the first to compare this song with Käärijä's Chachacha. And in my opinion that is entirely justified. Both Käärijä and Baby Lasagna are big Rammstein fans, which can clearly be heard in both songs. Of course, as a German listener, I noticed this straight away, the typical Rammstein guitar riff. The Techno-C part of Baby Lasagna's song is of course also a reference to Chachacha. And both songs have a sentence that immediately catches your ear: “Cha-Cacha-Chacha-Chacha!” versus “Rim tim - tagi digi dim tim tim!” A few days ago I read: “Rim tim tagi digi dim tim tim” will be the new Chachacha, I tell you!” On the other hand, this song is independent, not a cheap copy of the Käärijä song. But it fulfills a similar need for wild musical power with a dash of humor. By the way, Käärijä wasn't a brilliant singer either, but his song had just as convincing power. In my opinion Baby Lasagna will end up in the top 3 in the ESC final.

[@nebojsanikolic2002]

I think this song has a chance to win the whole thing! It's so catchy and the performance is crazy with a lot of energy. I'm so happy that our neighbors are sending such a banger to the Eurovision stage! This is definitely my new winner because it's my kind of music. I cannot wait to see Baby Lasagna performing this song on a bigger stage. Wish them a good luck! 🇷🇸🇭🇷♥️

No, it was the final. You can tell the difference by his entrence. In semi he was stumping, in final he shuffled in.

[@unravelingsoul9705]

I'm in love with him! He wasn't even a singer before Dora and was a riserve of the competition. I can see his charisma, staging and his metal background (with clear references to Rammstein, which I love). I don't care about the vocals, he can improve. I see a performer and an artist, with a strong and different personality from Kaarja. I can see a top 3 😊🎉

[@amani8008]

This song is my favourite, my number one right now. I knew you wouldn't like it, it's fine it isn't your genre. I think the big problem is the staging and they have the time to improve it. But the song for me is winning material but they have a lot of work ahead of them. Also the lyrics and the storytelling of the song is fanrastic, it speaks about a difficulty of the Croatian youth in a fun and joyful way and i think this is beautiful.

[@ToyAndGoy]

[@sandrolucic2281]

To compare this song to Cha Cha Cha is absolutely nonsense. Just because it gives you the same cool vibe it doesn't mean it's a copy. Personally, I think Rim Tim Tagi Dim is much better song then Cha Cha Cha. It giving me all the feels of best Linkin Park era. It doesn't need to win but I'm hoping for Top 10 in the finals.

I really like your reactions, and even though I sometimes don't agree with them, I support them! Since I live in Croatia, I will explain to you what this song is about. Baby Lasagna is the author and producer of this song, and it sings about a young man who had to leave his hometown for a better life. The song is actually sad, and symbolizes the massive departure of young people from Croatia in search of a better life. Baby Lasagna tried to tell it in his own way! I believe that you will come to love this song over time, there is a lot of love and emotion in it! And one more thing, just so you know! Baby Lasagna can sing very well, but he has his own vision of performance! Thank you for your reactions, you make us happy watching you!

The song is not even intended for Eurovision. They became Dora's understudies. One contestant dropped out and the contest was theirs xdd. There are mistakes, but they'll fix them by May. You can see the improvement between the first round and the final. It was reportedly his first live performance. I recommend watching the video clip. It's very nicely done and captures the meaning of the song. About ChaChaCha. Both artists are influenced by Rammstein (they are fans). So maybe a little hint in the music is similar. The lyrics, overall style of music and performance is different. The only similarity I've seen is the max pink and green color. That's my personal view. Great reaction. MŇAU🐱

This is a truly brilliant song, no doubt and fantastic story behind it. He is already a legend for many reasons. The problem is, the studio version was so good that expectations were so high (not your case), he has very little experience of being on stage or even singing.

[@brankicaklaric1056]

"Guys, from what I've understood, it seems I need to clarify: we from Croatia are very proud of our performer Baby Lasagna. The title of the song 'Rim tim tagi dim' doesn't have a specific meaning, it just fits the rhythm of the song. When the song leads us through the current poor demographic situation in Croatia - with many young people emigrating from the country in search of a better financial life to be able to help their parents because the prices and all other burdens in the country are too high - this isn't living, it's merely surviving. Let's leave aside the summer season; it lasts only 3 months. What about the rest of the year? This song composed by our representative Marko, with the lyrics he wrote, is the whole truth about Croatia. 🇭🇷❤️ "I love my country like everyone else, but unfortunately, one is forced to leave everything behind in order to find a better life for themselves and their family. We don't want to live like that; we want to stay in our country, but unfortunately, due to our leadership, it's not working out."

The problem is that the voice is bad and also the song

[@klaudijabogdanovski]

Absolutely my #1 this Eurovision. BTW, the sleeves are part of traditional croatian folk dance. We used to perform with them all the time. He could have got inspired by Kaarija BUT its still pretty damn unique. Every song is an inspiration of another song, they gotta get some of their concepts and elements from somewhere, especially in a world where originality is running out. I can definitely relate to the lyrics. My parents migrated to Australia back in the 80s for better work and set up a future for generations to come. They were only in their early 20s. This hits home HARD and is the Eurovision I have been craving for over 30 years.

[@ToyAndGoy]

What a lovely comment to read !!! Thank you so much !😘

[@MarijanaGluic]

Great haircut by the way, Goy❤ two of you become younger and younger with every new post. Congratulations! ( Baby Lasagna became almost a Cinderella story, and we are happy with him). Big hug to you guys, and to Joy❤

[@ToyAndGoy]

Awww thank you so much for such an adorable comment.

I love how you both have your opinions but trust me you will start tapping your feet in few days

[@markdekker3047]

love this song very much its and banger top 3 matriaal in the final for sure

[@GM-vc8lj]

All these reactors sayin the song has no meaning could've taken 5 minutes of their time to actually read the lyrics of the song and maybe they would get the message

[@kirkhoffman3945]

che ti importa tanto voi dell est vi coalizzerete per votarlo

[@jaroslav66]

Song and music terrible. If we get to the finals, we should be proud.

[@antonkern639]

its catchy the melody is nice, he cant sing... and the staging isnt really elevated. but the message and topic is interesting..... the betting odds are hypped by the croatians abroad.... so not really plausible... .. so probably it ll be a televoter.. it will qualify.... and end round 15 -10 ... but we dont expect points from the jury

[@polypandora1943]

It's a quirky, catchy and unpretentious take on a serious topic very relevant for Croatia, but relatable to many people. Baby Lasagna's story is also amazing - "this was a reserve song that was not supposed to compete, he got on stage by accident because another contestant dropped out so he had only 1 month to shoot a music video and prepare for his act. This was the first time he actually performed on stage in front of a camera (he was a guitar player and wrote music for other artists) and he admitted that he was extremely anxious about it. He had 50 spotify listens before Eurovision hype, and was not assigned by any music company. He wrote lyrics and music, produced and made this song all by himself in his bedroom and then went on to win Croatian competition by a landslide, he got 53% of total public votes." His girlfriend directed his music video (which is amazing!), and his brother and friends were on stage with him. He's also really down-to-earth, humble and kind. His close friend suggested him to submit the song to Croatia's competition for Eurovision and all this is happening now!

[@almi6666]

wow! usually i love your reactions, because you were hilariously witty, you dont take yourself so serious, you never were nasty to the contestans - but this reaction was super mean. constantly comparing this song with things that have nothing to do with each other. its OK to NOT like the song - but to be overly mean on a social network platform - its not very, lets say, imaginative. despite it: greetings from vienna

[@Delboymucke]

Za komentar, ocjena 1,nemate pojma o kontekstu pjesme, spominjete sex kojega u pjesmi nema, to govori o površnosti, inače ste simpatični ali morate znati da mnogi koji izvrsno pjevaju, nikada nisu napravili karijeru jer nisu imali hit.

[@Antena308]

Baby admitted that he was nervous and that this was the first big performance for him. I was waiting for this reaction, I'm a little disappointed with how many negatives there are, ignorance. Unnecessary comparisons with the Finnish song because all metal, punk music is similar, he added an electronic vibe just so it wouldn't be boring. Considering that Baby lasagna wrote and composed the song himself and that he had very little time to prepare because he came in as a substitute...and for the music video (btw the music video is great)...this is a masterpiece.

[@AntonioR05]

I been watching you for 2 years what level am i😂😅

[@ToyAndGoy]

😂😂😂 maybe veteran junior ?! 😂

[@vivianabaskovicperic297]

Dosta s tom Kaaryom. Marko je svjetlosnim godinana ispred nje. ❤🇭🇷

[@CoCaSilvia]

I like it (again I don't agree with you 🤣😪) but I don't know if it's the first impact and in two weeks I feel it different. At this moment I have only Rim Tim Tagi Dim again and again in my brain🤦‍♀

[@shko-mi]

You value the music but listen to it on laptop speakers? You gotta be kidding me 😂😂😂 Also, you understand vocals but don't appreciate that quick change from rim tim tagi dim to the rock chorus? The level of delusion here roflmao

[@saranissen6210]

I kinda get why people like this so much, but also why you don't. I like it for some reason, and so far it just sneaks into my 10th place, but we still need a lot of entries to be revealed, so a lot can change until May.

[@clevomon]

I had a little trouble hearing the lyrics clearly the first time too, but I got enough to recognize the gist of the story. I actually like it quite a bit better than Cha Cha Cha, which I probably was more like you guys here, like, "I see why people like it, but it's not for me." This story is extremely familiar to me (versions of it have been wrapped up as part of American cultural mythology since forever), and the sound was surprisingly familiar to me too. I could've easily seen this song coming out of the rural U.S. (probably without the techno dance break, though 😅).

[@AhavaMath]

I honestly don't like this kind of music, but I imagine the people who were angry about Germany and Finland not doing better last year will be voting for this hard. But just not for me.

[@yramarcevychy8684]

It is tiring that it is enough to send an active, noisy song with a sweaty artist in funny clothes to the Eurovision Song Contest and many people will like it. thank you for your video)

[@marinozgful]

Rim Tim Tagi Dim ❤ Toy Goy Toy Goy ❤🎶🕺🎶🇭🇷💗

[@alexandru4193]

I agree with you completely. I think the song is fine... but that's it. Though it makes sense for you since you've mentioned not liking Käärijä either. I, however, did like him but I'm not really fond on this one (and no I'm not one of those people accusing Baby Lasagna of copying Käärijä). I also agree with the dancer being hot... so if like anyone dropped his name I'd be grateful XD

[@brunop7977]

I love this entry ❤

[@dannydaniela5904]

After you didn't like Estonia, I knew you would not like Croatia. 😂

[@barlasakbulut4491]

Käärjiyä'nın tarzını çok andırıyor. 🤔

[@OlivierSteinier]

I'm sorry but I don't agree with you at all .This song has the merit of being unique to bring people together on a happy way This is 100% in the spirit of Eurovision : united by music. Lets just have fun and enjoy like ABBA did in1974

[@nightmareinbeige664]

I mean, you’re allowed to not like it. I see a potential here. Myb not a win but top 10 for sure

[@VukCrveni]

13:50 Croatia (as part of Yugoslavia won Eurovision in 1989) and thex next year the competition was held in Zagreb.

[@invudvah]

If the Jury was 1 person, it'd be the guy on the right

[@t0nc493]

its a song with a strong meaning actually and the outfits are Istrain traditional Croatian clothing! But yea overall we all have different music taste and thats great!😃

[@dijanadouard]

Ces pièces blanches que les musiciens ont sur le visage sont des pièces de décoration traditionnelles que les femmes tricotaient et appelées tablić. La danse et les manches font partie du folklore croate originaire d'Istrie. Veuillez regarder la vidéo officielle, c'est fantastique!

[@sciupess2]

what I like about your reactions is that you are honest and if you don't like a song you have no problem saying so for fear of losing followers, if I follow the reactions it is to know if the opinions of others are similar to mine... I don't interesting to see people who are equally enthusiastic about every single song! however in this case I absolutely agree with you... he can't sing!

[@ToyAndGoy]

Thank you for watching us and understanding what we are doing 🥰😘

[@dodo_nothebird1994]

Who's gonna win the most toxic fandom this year? Spain or Croatia? 😂😂😂 Don't worry guys you don't need to answer 😉 Massive hugs ❤

[@Monzeitia]

To be honest, as a Spanish I can tell you, we are the worse, the Croatian fans here have been very respectful with their comments

[@kirkhoffman3945]

[@ingridkolobaric2389]

You guys are fun, You should go to Croatia for party! Croatia welcomes You!❤❤❤ Your going to party like N E V E R befor! 🎉😅

[@mrod4517]

At the end it all depends of what is your kind of music and what do you want to hear at Eurovision. There is no right or wrong. In my opinion this kind of entry doesn't surprises me anymore. It's just another song with a mix of everything and where vocals comes at last place.

[@galore1990]

Guys, your reactions are really becoming really silly. You only descussing outfil, haircut, etc. Maybe you need at least try to hear lyrics of English songs, you are not thinking at all.

[@ToyAndGoy]

To be honest , we couldn’t understand much of his singing but people now explained the meaning and it’s a nice one… with music it’s either you feel it or not , the feeling I (Toy) had by the end of it was none as I said in the reaction. When edited it , still didn’t feel it but I think it will do very well in the competition and I’m excited for Croatia Eurovision fans that for many years they have a song that can actually win!

[@Pomoseisnueve]

Yo creo que el problema de la voz de los artistas empezó con las divas, se les permitió que no supieran cantar pero como daban show se les puntaba a lo alto, ahora van opciones mas alternativas y son rechazadas solo por no llevar ventilador y ser íconos para la comunidad.

[@tanjafilipi8295]

GO ON BABY LASAGNA!!!

[@martinacikojevic]

Croatia it's time! Please vote for us ❤🇭🇷❤

[@stellakovac8579]

It's a song about young people leaving there home and country for better life. It is a reality for croatian people today. You even didn't try to understand the words. These sleeves are part of traditional croatian folk wordrobe from Istria. Marko is from Istria, from City of Umag. Maybe he doesn't have nicest voice like French representative but this is not just another song about love, but about very realistic life situation in Croatia today. So, I really don't like you reaction. Meow meow meow
