Croatia CROATIA 2022 - Mia Dimšić - Guilty Pleasure

[escYOUnited]

Dreamt of you last night
Woke up, you weren't there
Five nights in a row
Of dreams I've never shared

You come without a warning
Early in the morning
Timing's never been our thing
Leaving me with guilt
The only souvenir you bring

I'm with him and you're a secret treasure
He's devotion, you're a guilty pleasure
I'm with him and this is real life, honey
Guess the joke's no longer funny

I'm with him until the death do us part
But it doesn't do for this hungry heart
I'm with him, but in my frantic head
You always come and say:

"Would you run away?"
"Would you run away with me?"
"Would you run away?"
"Would you run away?"

One love is enough
That's all you ever get
Least that's what they tell you
Still, I can't forget

Eyes like burning ashes
Till the sunlight flashes
Can't be cold, but I've been taught
Captivated by the
Thunderstorm in which I'm caught

I'm with him and you're a secret treasure
He's devotion, you're a guilty pleasure
I'm with him and this is real life, honey
Guess the joke's no longer funny

I'm with him until the death do us part,
But it doesn't do for this hungry heart
I'm with him, but in my frantic head
You always come and say:

"Would you run away?" (Would you run away?)
"Would you run away with me?"
"Would you run away?" (Would you run away?)
"Would you run away?"

(Would you run away?)
In this real life, there's no way
In this real life, I have to say (Would you run away?)
In this real life, there's no way
In this real life

I'm with him and you're a secret treasure
He's devotion, you're a guilty pleasure
I'm with him and this is real life, honey
Guess the joke's no longer funny

I'm with him until the death do us part,
But it doesn't do for this hungry heart
I'm with him, but in my frantic head
You always come and say, say, say:

"Would you run away?" (Would you run away?)
"Would you run away with me?"
"Would you run away?" (Would you run away?)
"Would you run away?"

(Would you run away?)
In this real life, there's no way (Would you run away?)
In this real life, I have to say (Would you run away?)
In this real life, there's no way (Would you run away?)
In this real life

I expected that I would hate it after seeing people comparing it to Taylor Swift which I can't stand but I don't see that similarity personally. It is very cozy, easy listening kind of stuff, but not banal like Latvia some time ago with 'All Night Long'.

I will give 8 pts in the poll, maybe it is slightly exagerrated on my part but whatever.

 

[Mainshow]

@Iker Are you aware of Taylor Swift´s latest studio albums? - I also thought that this entry could have been on "Evermore" or "Folklore". Clearly, it is not as cleverly-written as most Swift´s songs but I can hear that similarity (regarding the style of the song).

I had to upgrade this one to pts - Honestly, I think it´s such a grower.. I really really really like this!

If in the final, they place the songs chosen this weekend on a row one after the other on the running order, my bathroom break will turn into a bath with bubbles including shaving my balls break.

As often mentionted here, this song would perfectly fit in Germany´s NF... and so it´s not really my cup of tea, 4 points

 

[BorisBubbles]

This is really cute. The staging doesn't fit it but this can be fixed. points.

 

[hijirio]

There are many things I can tolerate, but classic guitar is sadly NOT one of them. She has a cute voice, but the song does nothing for me.

 

[Mainshow]

You are way too harsh on this one @hijirio
A "classic guitar" is no ukulele (sent from hell).

 

[midnightsun]

How can you dare comparing this to Taylor Swift ????








It's MILES better! Go Mia! I love this song! 10 points from me. 12 if the musical arrangement's gonna be improved, not just plain music.

You wish you had it there. It is two classes above them all in your NF unfortunately.

 

[Betwixt Tales]

I'm very indifferent to this song. It kinda does nothing for me. It's just there, in the background. I don't mind it, but I'm not about to seek it out. It's whatever.
The most impressive part was the dancer doing the handstand, bending way back.

 

[Brutalero]

It does have the same vibes as Willow but it's clearly not plagiarism, it's the same style though. The songs sound different and the production value of Taylor's music is so much better. Still, GP is a catchy tune and it's cute. Mia D was also great live.

The scary part is that we might have a bit too many of those type of songs this year :///

With the songs that have been selected so far, I have to agree, sadly.

I don't think I listened to the Dora songs, and if I did I literally don't remember so I have no idea what this beat, however I find this song to rather cute and sweet. I like it, and she feels likeable. It feels like something shes written (whether she did or not idk lmao) but what I'm saying is i'm convinced by the 'product' here. It's very inoffensive and unless you're totally repelled by songs like this, then I don't think there is much to hate on. She sings well, and performs well. The only thing I really didn't like was the male dancer, who felt more distracting in that performance than helpful to her. Staging needs a total rethink tbh. I'm gonna give for this cute little song.

 

[shameless]

i think it is a very cute harmonic, banal song.
if queen albina cannot make the finals, I am very worried for princess mia.
Dora lately didn't go wrong but it is just middle-of-the-road and so the opposite to what they were in the 2000s.

Forgive Me (Oprosti) music video

 

[Ianp16]

So boring. points.

Her backing dancer is well hot though, he gets

 

[goncalovieira]

8 solid points

 

[grazy2266]

Love the background beats, such a soothing voice. I can see this going on my playlist, but It's nothing stand out for me.

 

[ag89]

Having a dancer in Torino is not a bad idea, but he needs a totally different choreography and potentially to join the performance half way through. The song is ok, sweet, but has very little at the moment to make you remember it so they need a proper staging. I think it has a chance to qualify.
One comment for Dora, I am glad it has returned, but it's been going downhill again, just like from 2004 and on and the reason is a mediocre selection that is getting worse. Why is Croatia so scared of edgy entries is hard for me to understand.
