Oh, God...she sings beautiful... Breathtaking...

[@carlosrolin94]

Amazing live Nina! My winner this year

[@sandrolucic2281]

Yep... That`s what I thought. Live version is STUNNING!

[@RolyWestYT]

Hearing her live makes me so happy! So glad she sounds great!!

[@esctalk]

Winner! Winner!! Winner!!! 12 points from Sweden!

[@eurovisionbc2561]

Wow! I love it! Good luck from France!

[@TheVRML]

for a moment i was think that she was doing playback but noo, its a live voice, awesome!

[@TokRa988]

+TheVRML And did u noticed that she howl at the end of song, what is quite good and I always thought it's some kind of Instrument :)

[@Ukuleleobrade]

All the people surprised/relieved she sings great live obviously don't know Nina won the Croatian edition of The Voice since all of us who watched it know very well she is an excellent singer. :)

[@mvsnespula2836]

This is a winner... What a beautiful first performance...

[@mandarinasMDA]

Damn, this is a pure masterpiece. The voice, the video, the sound - everything is in a great harmony. We love it. Best luck from MOLDOVA.

[@Josgoro]

I loved it. A very beautiful and pure voice combined with a stunning song. Croatia, you should be proud.

[@matei5883]

Brilliant.

[@greeneyed1soul]

Great performance... Hvala na uploadu.

[@duoloose6948]

I really don`t understand why this song suddenly fell in bettings `cause Nina, clearly, can sing perfectly. And if I may add - in ANY conditions beacuse this is one of those early morning tv shows where people are talking and drinking coffee. Conditions are horrible but her vocals are spot on. She didn`t miss a single note and I was amazed how it sounds almost like a studio version. Can`t wait for the official music video and first live performance with much better sound. :) And yes...I found her very pretty. I like her individuality and subtle performance. It`s so delicate, but very emotional... Please, Nina. Don`t change! Be yourself! :)

[@MmeKastaffiore]

+Duo Loose Maybe 'cause bettings are more based in statistics of the previous years and the votting patterns than in the actual songs/singers. It usually happens that countries like Sweden, Russia and Azerbaijan are in the top of the bettings.. even before they have chosen their entry. How is it possible you predict a country is going to do well before you know what song is going to represent it? Croatia has been absent in 2014-15 and they haven't made the final since 2009. It's clear their record is not really helpful at placing them higher in the bettings...

[@dalaran07]

I Love Nina, perfect voice

[@angelinababyliova8436]

officially announce her as the purest live vocal this year in ESC

SHE SOUNDS SO GREAT. OMG, NINA LOVE U

[@bestwishes598]

Sretan rodendan Nina!! Ninina sudbina je put ratnice na polju umjetnosti. Sudeno joj je da vodi velike i teske bitke, ali i da ostvaruje velicanstvene pobjede svojim bogom danim talentom i vjestinom te postenjem i iskrenoscu, koje odlikuju jednu tako cistu dusu. Dusu koju pjevanjem ona dijeli svima i pobuduje divne osjecaje u onima koji ju zele prihvatiti. To je karizma u pravom smislu rijeci, suptilna i sveprozimajuca a ne afektirajuca, agresivna i povrsna. No njeni oponenti ne koriste profinjene metode pa je cak i na podmukao nacin pokusavaju onemoguciti, posto je dozivljavaju kao prijetnju njihovim sebicnim interesima - lake zarade, jer danas se sve svodi na novac. Uz neke nase skladatelje i javne osobe, potom neke novinare bujne maste motivirane senzacionalizmom (ne vide duhove, ali zato plagijati iskacu sa svih strana), tu se sad pojavila i grupa kladionicara -manipulatora na Betfairu kojima Nina ugrozava njihovog favorita ili manje vjerojatno-samo zele zaraditi na njoj (Nina je i dalje medu favoritima za pobjedu po raznim anketama), ruseci je na kladionici Betfaira, a time je nastoje srusiti i na svim ostalim kladionicama koje vecinom prate Betfair. Svima njima zelim da im Nina svojom pobjedom pomrsi racune. Ovdje se poteze klimavi argument da je ovim nastupom na RTS-u razocarala kladionicare.Neki dan na eurovizijskom koncertu u Rigi, dosta izvodaca je poprilicno podbacilo uz lose tehnicke uvjete, ali nitko nije zbog toga pao na kladionicama. Ovim jutarnjim nastupom Nina je samo pokazala da moze sve ostale vokalno pojesti za dorucak. A sam perfomans je bio bez scenografije, minimalnih tehnickih uvjeta, prilagoden jutarnjem razgovoru uz kavu i tko god ga uzima na kritiku je jako maliciozan (ali kritika za HRT zasto joj da sada nije omogucio pravi live).To je samo jutarnja vjezba, koja se nije ni trebala pojaviti na KZbin-u da nije bilo nekih forumasa koji su je digli na YT, vjerujem bez losih namjera, ali Ninin tim bi se trebao cuvati ovako naivnih poteza koji nekima daje prostor za izazivanje stete. Ali i greske su dio razvojnog puta, te iz svake bitke treba izvuci mudrost za slijedece vise razine bitaka-perfomansa koje ce nam ponuditi nasa SuperNina. Ispricavam se za opsirnost.

[@sandrolucic2281]

+best wishes Ne znam tko si, ne znam što si, ali cijeli tvoj tekst kao da sam ja napisao. :) Nadam se da će Nina pročitati ovo... Bez obzira na plasman (iako bih, kao i svi, zaista volio da bude što bolji), Nina je za mene pobjednica. Ona je jedini razlog zašto ću nakon dugo vremena pratiti Eurosong. Tako sam ponosan što nas ona predstavlja sa predivnom pjesmom da je to neopisivo. Želim joj sretan rođendan i odličan nastup na eurovizijskim koncertima i samom natjecanju!

[@stevhanstandberg6937]

+best wishes SVAKA VAM ČAST. Draga Nino....znam da nećeš izgubiti vjeru i da će ti svjetlo pokazati put do pobjede....kroz ovu ili bilo koju mečavu/oluju što leži ispred tebe!

[@mojast]

+best wishes Jako lijepo i realno objasnjeno! Mislim da je predodredjena da se bori sa vukovima, a svi znamo da su oni predodredjeni najjaci!!!Put je dugacak, ali je zato uspjeh zagarantiran!

[@arturwilk6698]

Love, love, love. 10 or 12 points from me for the Polish Croatia. Will there still a good chorus and will be great!

[@jesuscalzadilla8175]

I love this song everyday more and more!! go Croatia!!

[@Tylantia]

You can tell this'll easily pass the semi's and hit the top 10. On the night it's all going to be about the backing singers and staging, Nina's vocals are spot on.

[@toscar1977]

+Keyboard Warrior who predicts this shit in top 3, cause i don't see it in any top 3 predictions?

[@liranl3838]

WOW! In my top 5 Greetings from Israel :)

[@eurovisionair5389]

I love her so much. Her style is so unique!! My winner. Go Croatiiia!!

[@kjESCil]

My winner this year! Great vocals :D Good luck from Germany!

[@marianilssonfernandez1312]

Nina will be the big divider if people like or not - for us who do, she is unique, and has a star quality seldom found in ESC! Even in this cheap setting, she shines! 12 p from Sweden.

[@PhanieMane]

Bah same people always criticazing¡¡ Nina sings amazingly and she deserves the grand final and a really good place, very deserved good place in the bookies¡¡ Black is black and white is white sirs, dont come here to detracting Nina's talent. Good luck Croatia and kisses from Spain:)

[@enroute.eurovision]

+Edeltraut Paffendorf - Germany What is it that this opinion without interest ?

[@enroute.eurovision]

+EscPhanie Mane I completely agree with you :))

[@PhanieMane]

***** The way disrepectfully you talk says everything about you and your opinion.....afraid about another countries make better than yours?? First respect to every country, talk properly and then we can listen your words¡¡¡

[@PhanieMane]

ESC Chris Chillout Thank you, when something is good is good and we must recognize it in my opinion. Greetings:)

[@daniel050996]

+Edeltraut Paffendorf - Germany okay It's your opinion but from my point of view I can see a beautiful voice (more than "goat" - I have a goat in the village and she can't sing like Nina, with the change of tone)))) I don't think than Nina and Barei are underrated. Let's see in May that they deserve and talk about this after the show. At least Nina's song have special "breathing" to this contest. After the first listening, this song helps me get through the troubles of life so far. And for this I appreciate this contest. About Jamie - Lee: I like your song and even see it winning. But we have a very strong songs this year - it's a very interesting competition this year.

[@stevhanstandberg6937]

Predivno Nina!

[@Kraftymark]

[@filipvukicic9077]

Potpuno u pjesmi,emocija,glas,sve..Svejedno-pribojavam se plasmana(pa čak i ulaska u finale);jer naše delegacije nerijetko su znale i odličan materijal pokvariti. Mislim da je zaslužila barem finale.

[@EthePanda]

I was so worried that she would not be able to sing well live, but this is really really promising! Welcome back with such a great bang Croatia! Dobrodosli na Švedska! :D

Naravno da bih voleo da Srbija pobedi ali bih bio jednako srecan i da Hrvati odnesu pobedu. Bravo Nina, ti si zlato

[@ieatnoodles888]

Her voice is pure magic...but for her to win, she needs to have a " magical" performance also. Staging, lights, choreography ,anything to make her performance unique and stand out. There are really a lot of good songs this season.

[@milanj.k.6936]

Predivno... držim fige zemljakinjo !!!

[@FindTheMasterpiece]

WOW. Is this live? Brilliant singing!

[@stefanbednarz4192]

Love her voice. Stefan from California.

[@KarolKlim]

It's good but i hoped it would be better. I'm counting on Nina. She's really good candidate for top 3 but she has to work on tempo and hope she add this high "when oceans rage"- its magical. I've been waiting for it for whole song. i'm waiting till 12 of May to see final mindblowing version :)

[@lanabrekalo4129]

+KarolKlim ofc. it would be better. Look at studio, look at microphone ...Everything is so bad quality.

[@Molekulasti]

She can't hear the music nor herself. There's no monitoring system here. It's like singing to a tune that you are listening through a phone call.

[@eliliu6404]

i have to say, her voice is amazing, but there's still room to improve!! if she can make it, she will definitely be the winner of this year!! she seems really nervous by the way.

[@markdowd1]

Are these live vocals or a recording? If it's live it's top rate, but it feels too good!!

[@lanabrekalo4129]

+Mark Dowd Yes this is live performance :) Go listen her performance on The Voice Hrvatska :)

[@daniel050996]

+Lana Brekalo I listened her and... I'm in love with her voice! Cannot waiting for Stockholm!!!

[@monroem6195]

+Mark Dowd It is live. That's why we told you to wait and see how she sings live.

[@markdowd1]

+Monroe M The problem is that the markets have responded badly to it. She sings well but lacks that perosnality, connection and charisma that "sells" the song. It's a pity, but I fear that Croatia's chances of winning have dropped a lot because of this.

[@monroem6195]

This kind of song needs staging to be what it has to be. This is not one of those classic Eurovision POP songs that you sell on weekly pop charts, this song has some kind of art in it, specific atmosphere and it doesn't grow on you right away, It needs everything incombined for viewer to see what's behind it. We'll see that on 10th of may, not before...everything what we see right now, every single sequence, is less than half product, nothing more, nothing less. that's why is better to wait until the end, and then put comment. because with this one, you never know.

Horrible audio but even so, her voice is incredible.

Not what I expected. Where is this, in Croatia? I never knew they use that type of alphabet. What is that, like Russian?

[@rtukeric]

+Roxy Noire Nina Kraljić, performed live her song "Lighthouse" in the morning program of Radio Television of SERBIA on March 29, 2016.

[@LauradollU]

+Roxy Noire this live performance isnt in cro,we dont use that alphabet ,she is on promo tour all around europe.

[@roxynoire3222]

+Roberta Tukerić Oh okay, makes sense, I guess. Thanks.

[@roxynoire3222]

+Laura Thanks. This was the first time I've seen Nina perform this song live so I automatically assumed this was in Cro. My bad.

[@nnnnn8941]

Song is very similar with song Uncover sing by swedish singer Zara Larsson.

[@meduzsazsa8490]

Not at all

[@babbarogga781]

Zašto tako štedi glas? Znamo da možeš pustiti pjesmu da ide...

[@KILIMANJARO9]

Hrvati u Srbiji promoviraju pjesmu na engleskom jeziku u sklopu predigre za natjecanje koje se zove Eurovizija, a u kojem sudjeluje i Australija. Predlažem da dogodine Australci pošalju na Euroviziju pjesmu na talijanskom jeziku.

[@_the_assassin]

w8w8w8 the ending was different in a bad way!

[@scorpioninpink]

And who cares about the bookies?

[@Mousikos4eveR]

Very nice live performance! But she needs to change her hair color...

[@lanabrekalo4129]

+Mousikos4EVER She has already.

[@luwigshafen]

It's such a good song, but it seems that she doesn't have any good advice in performing this song. Blue hair, strange haircut doesn't make any song better. Unfortunately the eurovision song contest is not opened for that. I see her falling in bettings. I wonder the way she will perform it in may.....hopefully she will proof a good taste.....good luck....I still love that song that sounds like a prayer

[@roxynoire3222]

+Ludwig Lorenz I hate commenting on looks when it's about music, but I somewhat agree with you on this one. I hope Nina changes her stylist and chooses the better way to present herself. This whole style and the studio she has chosen for her first live doesn't look like a good way to do the promo. Sometimes a great voice is just not enough.

[@luwigshafen]

+Roxy Noire Hello Roxy, did you see her video, where she's performing on a lake in the mountains? I never have seen one lighthouse there. And these wooden things that are looking like crutches... and that trash story of a handicaped person that all of a sudden is able to walk.... I agree with you she definately needs a better team around her side.... I'm crossing fingers

[@TheVelvetOctopus]

+Ludwig Lorenz That is not an official video, it was fanmade

[@nacht98]

Not a great live performance. Needs to improve to get to the top!

[@banm4086]

Za Hrvate nije dostupno.... 😭

[@rreeel]

It is maybe nice singing, but not a strong voice and not a strong charisma to steal attention of a large audience (like 10 000 people). The song also maybe is nice, but completely ordinary by itself. It can pass through into the final - but only because of consolidated Balkans voting; and the entry surely won't reach high place there.

[@zummbba]

+rreeel not a strong voice? you clearly don't know anything about singing.

[@rreeel]

zuummba - I don't know, what you personally mean by "strong voice" - but I mean POWERFUL. I didn't say, her voice was not nice, but when she's singing she gives the impression that she can hardly breathe. Perhaps, this live entry is not her best - maybe her throat or lungs ... or smth else was ill at that time - but if not, then we can't consider her voice as powerful. If she will be able to sing much better at the Eurovision - let her do it. I have nothing against her - I just try to be objective. :)

[@heppolo]

+zuummba some people think the voice should be bloody LOUD (Remember Cezar Ouatu, anyone?)

[@lanabrekalo4129]

+rreeel OMG but this is so small studio, She can't do anything here.

[@rreeel]

aksel2609 - thank you for the link: I've written somewhere and I can repost it here: "I can't say that her voice wasn't nice at that live performance, but when she's singing she gives the impression that she can hardly breathe. Perhaps, this live entry is not her best - maybe her throat or lungs ... or smth else was ill at that time - but if not, then we can't consider her voice as powerful. The same about her charisma. If she will be able to sing much better at the Eurovision - let her do it. I have nothing against her - I just try to be objective." And now I can add: - do you see, that before this live show, she was the 4th at bookies, but after it - she goes down to 7, 8, 9 ... Does this fact says anything to you or not?

[@toscar1977]

terrible english and her singing is just...boring. no charisma, just standing. the whole song lost its power. out of top 10 performance

[@regulus3802]

+toscar1977 "Just standing"? So-called podium for singing has only a few square meters. This is a morning talk show (it was 8:56 am), a room with terrible sound system, Nina sang into WIRED microphone so what did you expect? A moonwalk? Breakdance? Nina's superb singing ability is something undeniable.

[@TngMutantNinjaTroll]

Yeah.... look, this wasn't exactly ESC stage hahahah. I honestly don't know why people expect ESC level performance on a morning talk show. It's a talk show lol, she just sang to show her vocal capabilities. And she was amazing as far as that goes.

[@monroem6195]

+toscar1977 And what should she do in such slow ballad song? Hang from the chandelier??!! Jesus Christ :rolleyes:

[@monroem6195]

+Regulus Studio is not the point. The point is that the song is slow ballad that requires minimum motion, where choreography is harmonized with the song and put behind the song. This is not Ruslana and Wild dances.

[@MmeKastaffiore]

+ ‬  ‬ Some people is really stupid, don't pay attention to them.

[@KajsaBernhardina]

So boring :(

[@Brandy86Alexander]

+Bernhardina Hörnstein Well, not for me. Nina is the best and the most unique performer in Eurovision 2016. Zagreb 2017 :D
