[@Avocantakis2000]

Misja is faster than the speed of light

[@josipamatic6085]

Devil works hard...

[@RpMTarTar]

but MISJA EUROWIZJA works HARDER 🔥

[@northeasteurope1256]

I did not expect a french song in a Croatian selection

[@scorpioninpink]

Is French not taught in Croatia?

[@jagorzravnice]

@@scorpioninpink not at all often. at least far less than english and german.

[@IvanoKing3]

​@@scorpioninpink why would it....

[@evazg]

We should have skipped this year and stayed in the Lasagna euphoria.

[@lucasturniolo6724]

Croatia definitely learned from Baby Lasagna with an other strong selection

[@Feex92]

All songs are *meh* at most

[@Vhmvd]

Sure… on mars maybe 😂

[@easytoremembereasytodelete958]

strong? Croatia is a solid NQ.

[@EmpresssTear]

I'm Ogenj team😂

[@kilitauriel]

yes like im obsessed now

[@Daco-]

Iskreno. Ove ostale uopće nisu neki eurovision vibe 😢

[@zuska168]

I meni se sviđa.Ima taj etno štih.Ulazi u uho to je bitno😊

[@josipamatic6085]

You cant expect more from our music scene after literal miracle last year. At least, i wont be bored this year.

[@AlcatrazHR]

The average quality of Dora has increased significantly this year. But unfortunately, Baby Lasagna happened to us once, and probably never again. Although we have a lot of good songs this year, none of them have a realistic chance of fighting for the top. Getting into the ESC final is realistic, maybe even the left side of the final, if everything goes well... but more than that is difficult...if not impossible.

[@marijaaa6]

OGENJ 🔥 HC KC

[@thebestofmusic7427]

The only correct option should be Monopol, as it’s way better than all the other songs

[@Tarkris]

Better to look at for sure😈🙈

[@mipr5420]

XD

[@keitaro-kun2373]

Lekek is so much better than monopol

[@joza1727]

Ogenj better

[@amaliadepinho]

"soul of my soul" has an "echo" level of nonsensical words, which i love

[@RasmussenESC]

Such strong year for Dora. Amazing job, Croatia. Greetings from Estonia ❤🇪🇪🇭🇷

[@danielnight5057]

Is it?

[@MarioAPN]

It is not

[@crabrave8979]

Are the strong songs in the same room?

[@DimitrijeLazic-q8d]

Explain that

[@RasmussenESC]

​​​@@DimitrijeLazic-q8dwhat explanation you are waiting from me ? I'm really liked in Dora this year is such rich variety of songs with folk Balkan elements as i like. Most of songs sound very fresh( e.g. EOT, Ivnx, Matt Saft ), powerful( e.g. Enigma from Irma, Lelek, Magazin ) or interesting( e.g. Felomena, Marko Bošnjak, Ogenj ). This is my personal taste.

[@IRESC]

I suppose I’m the minority cause I think this is quite weak. But it’s good that most people seem to be enjoying it

[@ANA-il6js85]

Same here, another weak year for me. And i hate the fact that we dont sing in Croatian any more ☹️

[@eurodara]

it is better than last year Dora but it's not superb

[@sanelasiraki719]

fr same, all songs give off a similar vibe, and the english ones either dont make any sense or would be better if they were sang in croatian

[@f1ll3rn]

Same, too bad for not quality songs on croatia. But you know it is just a good fun. I just wanna see baby lasagna in esc performing (as a guest) and yeh probably try to win it back 10 years later

[@czechistan_zindabad]

yeah i agree

[@nickg3768]

Insane improvement on last year. Wow. Monopol is the standout from this recap IMO but a lot of good tracks here.

[@cro8sandy]

Magazin is standout

[@BlaBla-en4jg]

I think Monopol is the best 🤗

[@NenadZorman]

Chat GPT: make me a pop song 🫡

[@nikolastojkovic9781]

Oh believe me, he do a better job!

[@Leon54david]

It's gonna be between Magazin, Marko Bošnjak and Nipplepeople, I feel. Dark Horses: EoT, Ognjen, and Lelek possibly To be honest, I expected nobody to be as good like Baby Lasagna last year.. But, let's wait for the live performances.

[@missk9521]

Nitko od njih nema šanse. Bošnjak i Magazin eventualno će proći u finale jer su poznati, ali pjesme su sranje. Bošnjak prije tri godine puno bolja pjesma od ove.

[@renatakromar5786]

Baby Lasagna je neosporno iznad svega što sam tu čula...ali daleko bolje pjesme od prošle godine..

[@CroatianUltraNationalist]

anyone except bošnjak is ok

[@JM-oo4rg]

Bye bye bye, Welcome to the Circus, Juzina and Soul of My Soul are my favourite! Really good songs and NF overall!

[@ivasestan8081]

OGENJ ima pjesmu za Europu!!! Daj, daj poslušaj malo bolje....

[@manuela-4m]

Ogenj!💥❤️‍🔥🔥😻

[@itsjxomusic]

My faves for #Dora2025 Ananda - Lies Lay Cold (Beautiful Vocals!) Laurakojapjeva - NPC (Hyperpop!) Marko - Poison Cake (I'm still 50/50 about this)

[@davimoraes5025]

OGENJ!

[@rodrisifuentes4592]

My opinion from Perú 🇵🇪. This will be a good year, thanks to the Baby Lasagna impact, specially I think two options could be to an Eurovision Final 🏅 IVXN - Monopol 🏅 OGENX - Daj Daj

[@ESC_Jordan]

Ok, this selection is good but still kinda weak for me. I like The Sound of my Soul, Animal, Monopol, Kraj, Through the Dark and Dom si srcu mon

[@wolfwolf9326]

A lot of interesting songs 🎉

[@Avocantakis2000]

My favorite songs are these: Lies lay cold Monopol The soul of my soul AAAAA Running to the light Welcome to the circus Daj daj Aurora But i have to say,im a bit underwhelmed. Most are generic

[@guillermomendoza9452]

the only song i like it is EOT - BYE BYE BYE

[@MarioAPN]

Too generic for Eurovision.

[@guillermomendoza9452]

@MarioAPN the others looks too generic 😅

[@VemonousChomik14]

​@@MarioAPNdesagree, not generic at all tbh, it would be better in croatian tho

[@juanmiguelpardezaaguilar4238]

Magazin the best option 🔥✨

[@tomast7339]

How dare Croatia give us such an amazing NF so in the beginning of January and put the bar so high? I never imagined myself that this song collection came from Croatia good job

[@CroatianUltraNationalist]

you call this good? this is garbage

[@robert9597]

Daj, daj ogenj!!!

[@Milvusmilvus-jo8vq]

Band Ogenj and Marko Bošnjak. We don't need to look any further. One of them is going to the Eurovision Song Contest.

[@FRESHY_GG]

EoT for the win, rest is meh

[@teodorgiorgos3357]

Ok. Ubacite sledeću rezervnu pjesmu. Možda baš ona pobjedi kao lani Baby Lasagna. 🩵🤍💙

[@rkavur]

daj, daj, Ogenj 💯👍

[@Pine_bluffs]

Love this selection! Much more interesting than most NFs🥳

[@toniatonia903]

Katastrofa! Ni jedna pjesma mi ne valja! Zalosno

[@justmeelenaaa2146]

Daj Daj

[@VictorGomezJ]

I think my fav is Marko Bosnjak😁

[@eclectic505]

Would have maybe done good in a latvian nf in like 2016

[@Vhmvd]

@@eclectic505now thinking of it, this awfully something Markus Riva would submit to jump on the latest trends of “Eurovision Success train”

[@markoivan5501]

For me i Will Pick soul of my soul or poison cake for sure

[@CroatianUltraNationalist]

you have terrible taste then

[@Luđak-Hajdukovac]

Monopol (IVNX) ili Daj Daj (Ogenj). Izvini Magazin, a da je pjesma bila na hrvatskom bila bi najbolja

[@petar-kresimirmiladin9460]

Only possibility for Croatia Q is Magazin and AaAaAa, and trust me with live, they’re going to be top 10 at esc.

[@inesxyq]

Daj daaaaaaj

[@RomeoImeraj]

Well bring back natalie balmix why you disqualified her? She would win the Dora and Croatia would had 100% top 3 on may one more time !

[@lidijaposavec3604]

Ogenj🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@GospodinNelson]

Magazin for the win, Lorena Bucan welcome back for the revenge! ❤

[@DamirŠkoić]

Ananda 😊

[@naisaShip]

we can all agree that Ogenj is the best

[@annhenriques3520]

First impressions: 1. Soul of My Soul 2. Welcome to the Circus 3. Monopol 4. Kraj 5. Dom Si Srcu Mom 6. Bye Bye Bye

[@escmanga8282]

My top 5 : 1. IVXN - Monopol 2. Natalli - Dom si srcu mom 3. Luka Nizetic - Juzina 4. EoT - Bye, Bye, Bye 5. Ananda - Lies Lay Cold

[@koushiksardar519]

National Final summary so Far Estonia, Malta 🗿 Luxembourg, Latvia, Albania, Croatia 🔥 Montenegro 😊 Spain🤡

[@ruthcn6890]

Me parece muy irrespetuoso e inapropiado su icono de payaso. Puede no gustarle las propuestas y opinar con respeto.

[@esckrystianochman]

Rather: Latvia 🗿 Albania, Malta 🔥 Luxembourg 😊 Estonia, Croatia, Montenegro 😐 Spain 🤡

[@alvaro5288]

The soul of my soul by Lelek give me goosebumps... If they do this well in live...i see another top 10 potential... Thats a strong selection btw... I would need more times of listen, and hear them complete, but from snippets sounds interesting... I will watch Dora this year ❤ as 2021

[@magdalenabajzek7984]

So welcome to the circus and Daj Daj i think that my ppl will choose good one.

[@linsteps]

Marko Bošnjak is oviously the most interesting risky choice! More dark pop on ESC please :)

[@ivannovoa4782]

Too generic, too much of English language

[@ESCMichi]

I honestly agree, sadly croatians didn't want to risk too much😢

[@ruthcn6890]

Tienen un idioma precioso pero presentan muchas canciones en inglés, es una pena 😔

[@ESCMichi]

​@@ruthcn6890por lo meno vois españoles cantate siempre en vuestro iconico idioma! Todas las lenguas balcanicas son lindas tambien ! Saludos desde Italia (perdon mi pobre español)

[@ruthcn6890]

@ESCMichi gracias de corazón ❤

[@drowndefacto]

Finally Croatia I love 💕🇭🇷 IVXN - MONOPOL ❤❤❤

[@Lumpicikagazg]

Ogenj ili EoT 🤟🤟

[@VenezolanoTuga]

My favourites 1. Poison Cake 2. Welcome to the Circus 3. Daj, Daj

[@masamotaln9290]

They should send song Anđeo by Hiljson Mandela and Miach

[@fdm636]

The Soul Of My Soul & Lies Lay Cold are very strong songs❤

[@Djuzza]

Overall quality is way higher than Dora 2024. But...So much songs on English. Why? Ogenj is the most interesting to me cos they incorporated folk elements very well, and they choose to sing in Zagorje dialect.

[@danielalmon2730]

Monopol 12 POINTS from Spain!!!

[@eduvandi714]

Sadly most of them has nothing special. The one for Esc in my opinion is Daj Daj. I also liked Monopol, AAAAA, Daj Daj, Lies lay cold & Aurora

[@jonbonnerholmes]

*He smirks* Nice year.. good luck Croatia sweetheart.. 💋🇭🇷

[@kio_games]

This is such an improovement from previous years, while yes there isnt a clear peak like rim tim tagi tim but the overall quality and diversity has gone up. They still have room to grow and its going in a good direction imo

[@aleqxszj]

Ok seriously seems like HRT have learned there lesson of actually selecting great songs instead of the disaster that was Dora 2024 except Baby Lasagna ofcourse, this selection is really strong but we will all see if any of them sings good live but i'm optimistic, my personal favorites in alphabetic order of the artists. Ananda EoT Fenksta (the eurovision reddit king) Irma Ivxn laurakojapjeva Lelek (if the song was is Croatian it would be alot better but it's still good) Luka Nižetić Magazin Marko Bošnjak Martha May Matt Shaft Nipplepeople Ogenj Petar Brkljačić Teenah

[@Excamtrik]

y a de la variété et c'est bien

[@monalisa3852]

Great selection, can't wait to hear these songs live ❤

[@thormaster06]

Monopol was fire!! I Also liked Kraj.

[@bizcraftzone]

Niš. Jedno veliko NIŠTA. Izgleda da netko i ove godine treba odustati😂😂😂

[@youytubey]

DAJ DAJ!!!!!!!!!

[@keitaro-kun2373]

My biggest favorites to represent Croatia in ESC 🇭🇷: Eot Filomena Irma Ivnx Lelek Magazin Marko bošnjak Natally Ogenj Teenah

[@aerisskyler]

I'm from Croatia 🇭🇷 and my favourite is definitely LELEK "The Soul". The best song! Love at first listen! Natalli is also great,great vocal,nice song!

[@Beckford4000]

I'm pretty sure Marko Tolja's song was written by ChatGPT, it's that cliched!

[@themalteaser716]

Is Magazin the same artist of Nostalgija '95 ?

[@dariozemljak3077]

Yes 👍

[@meduzsazsa8490]

The group is the same, but the singer is now Lorena Bućan. She sang Tower of Babylon in 2019

[@Babalonko]

Meni su najbolji Eot i Marko Bošnjak

[@tanjaknezevicklaric7624]

EOT i nitko više.

[@Liz13751]

my favorites: Lies lay cold, the soul of my soul, poison cake

[@yomacalled]

That one french ballad stands out for me

[@Bondo0407]

THE SOUL OF MY SOUL ❤❤❤

[@MrInfrarot]

Yesssss! Dora got the strongest selection so far! Well done Croatia

[@svitlana5183]

Lelek is something amazing!

[@viki211.]

EoT

[@-usersettings]

I was hoping for lelek to go full croatian, quite disappointed tbh

[@matijaluksic5378]

and what do you think about this kzbin.info/www/bejne/q17LaKSOf8iKbNE it is by far best entry from all songs in DORA and it didn't got even in reserve on DORA

[@orsimoni]

Hm, kinda like some of them for example: Laurakojapjeva - NPC Magazin - AaAaA Marko Tolja - Through the Dark Nipplepeople - Znak Teenah - Aurora I hate swing, and this kind of songs, BUT Ful Kul made me dance

[@branko.matosic]

Magazin ❤❤

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Fenksta, the r/Eurovision fandom active member who was a reserve has gotten in and he brings originality and freshness to the scene! “NPC” and “Welcome to the Circus” are also mega underrated too!

[@keitaro-kun2373]

Lelek to the win!!!!! 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@romaricklinguer8365]

A good selection for me ! My favorites (not particular order) : - IVXN - Lelek - Luka Nizetic - Marko Bosnjak - Magazin - Nipplepeople - Laurakojapjeva - EoT - Matt Shaft - Ananda But for the win, I think it's between IVXN, Marko, Luka Nizetic & Lelek ! My top 10 favorites for the beautiful country of Croatia for me

[@АнтонінаЧерпак]

Oganj

[@CruCruVision]

Thanks for this! ❤

[@Fizzyivore]

Amazing Job croatia!! I can see 5-6 Songs in top 5

[@DBoss04]

Ako izuzmemo par smorova, ova Dora je vrlo jaka. Čak mislim da će biti jača od PZE. Vidi se da je uspeh Baby Lasigne bio velika motivacija. 👏

[@MarkoMare-ye1od]

Fenomenalno! Biće velika borba. Isječci obećavaju. 👍 Iz 🇲🇪

[@takeachillpill2390]

Ogenj 💪🏼

[@lovewolf4103]

Poison cake 10/10

[@dinislopes9432]

Dora's best edition in terms of quantity of great songs, imo. Love so many. :) Baby Lasagna woke up Croatia, like Bambie did to Ireland!

[@hervedely5520]

Monopole ❤top

[@canreyhan8350]

Monopol❤

[@linatralala2864]

Kata Hebena Strofa. Horrible songs, I don't get it how they still didn't learn which songs to send to Eurovision.

[@mynnwoo]

Probably the strongest Dora ever... Obviously Baby Lasagna's had a great influence last year

[@martixoyt]

"Poison Cake" is definitely the best option here, it's such a banger, i see big potential for stage

[@CroatianUltraNationalist]

no

[@martixoyt]

​@CroatianUltraNationalist Yes😘 Poison Cake and Soul of my Soul only good options, only these song can qualify to the grand final at Eurovision

[@Eurocyb]

unfortunately nothing at the level of Baby Lasagna. Not only there was something in the sound that was interesting immediately, but then the lyrics were meaningful and had a message that resonated with many. This year, yes, there are some interesting sounds... but the messages seem to remain very lame or unoriginal. 😢

[@Perky-Povratnik]

99 posto nemoze proći ni u drugi krug..onih jedan posto šanse su Ogenj
