Neka mi ne svane - Danijela - Eurovision songs with live orchestra

[@pandemits]

The applause after she removes the black cape consists a classic ESC moment, for me at least.

[@Thugnme77777]

yeah and look at the show now, here was the music in front. Now is all Bullshit

[@ivanmikulic2182]

I remember how suprised I was: firstly because doing something like that was not usual at that time, secondly it gave so much attention to my country and thirdly she was very first in order of appearance.

[@danielvanr.8681]

It was poorly repeated in 2000, through Linda Wagenwakers and the Netherlands.

[@MK-nv4sy]

2022. This song should won! Beautiful voice, beautiful woman, beautiful song... Everything was spectacular! Legendary.....❤

[@Euroviking86]

Still gives me goosebumps. This should've been the winner.

[@JeSuisRene]

This is my runner up, after the United Kingdom.

[@realPhali]

That dress reveal is a Top 5 of all time moment for me.

[@cikkuujien2]

Honestly all of the top 5 bar Israel would have been worthy winners

[@malalola317]

so agree :)

[@fabricehaubois2442]

Tough year, but great, great song and performance.. I still listen to it 20+ years later, and serbo-Croatian is not my native tongue, but she is mesmerizing.. love her phrasing also

For me this is one of the best songs ever from the Eurovision contest

[@Euroviking86]

[@soniasaraga4851]

Predivna Danijela ❤🇭🇷

[@themalteaser716]

This must be the best opening ever in the ESC history. And the best Croatian entry with 1999

[@aleksandaraleksovski2423]

What about the opening in 1984? And how you have seen the Croatian entries from 1990 *, 1989*, 1987*, and in 1995? (In years with *, they were Croatian represents for Yugoslavia!) P.S. In 1984 they won (Sweden), maybe because of the draw. Spain or Ireland were higher class!

I ja sam snimao i navijao za Hrvatsku skoro isto toliko, koliko za nasi Vlado Janevski - "Ne zori, zoro". Naslov te pesme veoma slican sa Danijelove pesme! Makedonija je odlucila pobednik te godine: Kad je Malta cekala svoje bodove i pobedu, onda 12 bodova otisli su kod Danijele, pa je Izrael pobedio, sa 7 t.e. 8 poena ispred UK i Maltu.

[@voloshanca]

Such sad and tragic lyrics! In my opinion Danijela moves too sensual on stage for such lyrics. Her performance doesn't translate the emotion of mourning and depression, only feminity.

[@aidam.6231]

@@voloshanca To be honest, reading these lyrics in English (very good traslation actually), it does sound tragic and dark and my thought was also like yours: her stage performance does not correspond to the lyrics and atmosphere of the song. On the other hand, listening to ithe song in Croatian, there's nothing wrong with her coreography and the atmosphere of the song is not nearly as dark as it is in the English version. I guess it's what they call Lost in Translation.

[@aleksandaraleksovski2423]

@@aidam.6231 Zato imate i englesku verziju iste ove pesme, pa ako je niste poslusali, evo Vam priliku! Therefore, you can find an english version of this song on her album "To malo ljubavi", and we may talk again! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmq8k4qZbtJ6idk The translation by Jonathan is almost perfect, but if you do not like it, listen the english version.

[@aleksandaraleksovski2423]

@@aidam.6231 I najbolji stihovi uvek se ne mogu uskladiti sa pesmu, muzike ili izvodzaca. Ali poezija je jedno, a estrada drugo. A prevodilac, po meni, je samo hteo da koliko toliko ljudima iz drugih govornih podrucja, docara o cemu to Danijela peva. Izgleda da je ipak Graso najbojle poznavao njen senzibilitet (autor muzike i teksta), pa ipak, kao da je to bilo uzaludno u njihovim slucajom ....... Mi trazimo perfekcije od neke ponebitne stvari, a sa druge strane, eto.....

This is the first Eurovision performance I watched in my life! What a great premier :)

[@dramaticScar]

notice on how this song tastes so much perfect this way rather than the studio version

[@escLIVEmusic1]

The live version is really special, yes. First of all the performence by Danijela is very good. But I think it's the orchestral arrangement by Stipica Kalogjera played by the BBC Concert Concert Orchestra which really makes this magical.
