Best Croatian Entry

[LakZaNokte]

This year Dora is celebrating 20th anniversary. Croatia has participated in every ESC since our debut 1993.
So, pick your all time favourite croatian entry

p.s. This years' entry won't be in the poll cause it has been announced that we will also choose our favourite Dora on this years' event, but before presentation of our latest entry. I thought it would be nice to hear from other countries and compare results

1998 all the way. That was the first year I watched ESC and it was the first song of the night...therefore it's my very first ESC entry ......

That entry is indeed amazing! Actually 1997 was my first ESC, so we started watching almost at the same time

 

[Matt]

Yeah, we did. Guildo Horn is the reason I started watching ESC

Croatia had so many good songs in the 90's, 1995 & 1996 were great, too.

 

[CPV4931]

"Guildo hat euch lieb" :-)

I voted for 2006.

 

[94ayd]

Without a doubt "Marija Magdalena"!

 

[RomanFromRussia]

Afrika Paprika!! without doubt

 

[A-lister]

Yeah, we did. Guildo Horn is the reason I started watching ESC

Oh God, I still try to erase that one from my memory

 

[A-lister]

Afrika Paprika!! without doubt

That line alone is priceless! Pure genius!

4. 2001. Don't breaak my heeeeeaaart toniiiiiiiiiiiiiight.......Vanna is Vanna, she deserved TOP 5 in Copenhagen....classic
5. 1995. Nostalgiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........................one of the BEST Huljić's songs in ESC as well...and not only in ESC....great entry and great Lidija's voice

 

[sannerz]

^ 1995 = Best Huljic song, but you rank Vanna higher, which is a Huljic song?

But I like your top 5. We have the same top 2.

 

[vatroslav_cro]

sorry, whose top 5?you talk to me?

ah yes I realised now..."ONE OF THE BEST Huljić's songs ever as well" should be

 

[Malagant]

Ah, I love Nostalgija!

And it came in my perhaps favourite ESC-year of all time, 1995 - sooo many great songs that year!! (Norway, Sweden, Israel, Croatia, Spain etc)

But Marija Magdalena comes a close 2nd for me

Also liked Croatia's entry in 1996, 1998 and 2010.
