New remixes of Romanca

Croatia: Eurovision Countdown on HRT1.

It seems that Eurovision fever has finally reached Croatia: Croatian National Television HRT will broadcast three preview shows, the presenter of Croatian votes is announced and two new remixes of Romanca are available.

Croatian Radio Television HRT will broadcast three preview shows called Eurovision Countdown, every day from May 13th-15th at 6:30 pm on HRT1. HRT also announced that Dusko Curlic will comment the show while Croatian points will be presented by Barbara Kolar.

Jana Valdevit and Eddie Ramich produced two new remixes of this year’s Croatian entry Romanca. You can listen to both of them on the OGAE Croatia site by clicking here.
The remixes are also available on Kraljevi Ulice’s myspace page.

This year’s Croatian participants Kraljevi Ulice, who will perform in the semi 1, greeted their international fans in seven different languages: Dutch, English, Spanish, Russian, German, French and Bulgarian.

I'm loving your song this year Croatia. It's got a town square vibe and old-fashioned in a nice way. Might not get the votes for that reason but good luck anyway!!

ESC is by far the most popular show ever, it's as simple as that and it's just plain ignorant to say the contest is dead!
And televoting is the way to go, the people have to decide and not some pseudo experts in a jury! That is the least democratic!

Well as i stated in my first post no personal attack intented im in the Uk too and i know that the ratings were high last year,but still no previews on Tv nobody cares really and with a person like Terry wogan talking over the songs and making fun of anything and everything its not on for me sorry.

The contest is hardly dead! There is the most countries ever this year and the quality of songs last year was amazing! :L I know I don't know much about the golden era, but I can tell you that eurovision is growing stronger every year. I mean 11million people watched it last year in the UK! Thats the highest ratings we've had for ages! And with so many eastern countries joining, I think the contest is pretty secure for now. The only thing that could kill eurovision is the worse and worse political voting, but I think the EBU will do something about that soon :)

Of course things move forward but im speaking about the whole concept how it was and how it is...Televoting is only in place for the EBU to make money simple as that.Why do you think they rely so much on that

Why is the Song Contest dead, Marios?
It just changed with time and I think it's for the better. Besides all the crap we still get some wonderful music each year and all political voting aside, televoting is the way to go in the 21st century. Nevertheless, I like some old classics like Corrinne Hermès but ESC at present is more alive than ever!

No personal attack intented but i feel that you young people are very opinianated ...I mean you are what 16?17?
What about the olden days and all the good stuff?You cannot possibly relate to that you were not even born guys,well some of you.I think the eurovision song contest is dead and its sad as im a lifelong Fan and yes i might be old but im proud that i have grew up in the golden era of eurovision simple as that.

I am not really a fan of your song this year, Croatia. Sorry! :( I love Croatia and its people though.
Anyway, the best of luck from everyone here in The United Kingdom.

The Croatian song this year is different and very catchy, with the surprise & show elements well taken care of. If they manage to control the old man, I see them doing very well.

Sorry Croatia, but your song really isn't my kinda thing :(

But good luck anyway from the UK!!! :D :L
