Had to upgrade from to , still not my favourite but I kinda enjoy it now, especially when my day at work was bad.

Btw, the most important German fanblog ESC kompakt started their annual songchecks with :

I translated what the bloggers said about the song.

Benny - It´s unbelieveable that Baby Lasagna was only moved to the preselection retrospectively. A diverse and energetic song, additionally with socially relevant lyrics. With the staging Baby Lasagna still has to work a bit, but I´m in good spirits when it comes to that.

Berenike - "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" is a neat mix that directly ignites enthusiasm. The song is energetic, diverse in instrumentation, has lots of engery due to the Rock elements, a cathy chorus and an onomatopoeic hook that you can sing along immediately.

Douze Points - Somehow the melody/sound is really familiar and almost predictable for me. I like the song very much as a stage song, not so much when it comes to listening, that´s to aggressive and spit out. I can´t imagine it that much as an ESC winner.

Flo - It´s not surprising that Croatia is currently leading in the odds. "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" has not only a visually convincing package but Marko Purišić also has a big aura and lots of charisma. Additionally this lovely dancing choreo in the bridge, exactly this moments belong to the ESC.

Manu - As an audio I like listening to "Rim Tim Tagi Dim", but I still find it very much overrated now. Of course the rhythm is pushing the song forward, the short electronic break brings some variety, but all in all it´s too plain for me. . Baby Lasaga doesn´t have all that much charisma on stage for me, the performance in the NF was too conceptless and the live vocals were pretty weak. Thanks to the present message still after all.

Max - The song does with me what it actually shouldn´t do, placing somewhere in the middle. Yes, it´s edgy and yes it will stand out, but in a year where many countries put on hip and edgy songs, Croatia is somehow falling out for me. Will it win as the odds predict at the moment?? I´m excited to see where the journey goes.

Peter - Rim Tim Tagi Tim. This is art. THAT is the reason why I love the ESC. And Croatia is one of the most creative countries in the ESC community anyway. A big party song with a lot of individuality, a message AND a tempting drive. Croatia is living a celebration. I like, I like, I like. And Marko looks great (only in passing, logically it doesn't matter). The techno bridge is fantastic. Outstanding.

Rick: I wasn´t sure at the beginning whether the Croatian entry is musically "innovative" enough for me. A growl song for the stadium isn´t really groundbreaking. BUT the whole package carried me away very quickly, especially the mixture of shrill show and serious issue, the emigration quota of Croatia. The entry is standing out, is authentic and memorable. Did Käärijä serve as an inspiration?? For sure. Does it bother the casual viewer?? I don´t think so.

Normally Croatia would be the obvious winner this year. However the national final performance wasn't convincing at all and that made it to feel a bit doubtful. If he improves by a lot during the rehearsals then he is more likely the winner.

After 16,700 votes on the restart of the Eurovisionworld poll, it is clear Baby Lasagna are a frontrunner contender​

This song is addictive, my favourite Croatian entry ever, topping Daria's Celebrate

I think Lithuania, Finland and The Netherlands are gonna be main reasons for this not to win. Too many countries are going Kaarja style bop this year.

You meant Estonia probably not Lithuania?

Otherwise agree. He's going to be max 6th with the juries and he'd need a landslide in televote for this to win (Käärijä style) and he won't succeed in that because Netherlands will probably win it.

 

[Ezio]

I also think Baby Lasagna runs too close to the sun, Käärijää, and there is much more competition in this genre than last year.

So Lasagna loses in uniqueness by comparison to last year and in terms of overall competition this year.

No way NL wins the televote.

 

[rasmuslights]

No way NL wins the televote.

Well, he has the German, Belgian, Swiss, Austrian and also probably the baltic televote on lock.

Croatia has Serbia and Slovenia.

Also Joost is already going viral around Europe, like actually viral, not Norway last year viral, that must get him at least some voters.

Wish the hype came with an actual song, but there is none to be found.

This year's ESC is just so bad that we have a winner like this.

Edit: nothing can be worse than the chicken entry

 

[empo21]

I really don't like the way he sings "There's no going BA-ack" in the live version. Other than that he seems to be improving as seen from his last performance.

I swear half of the hype is because of the "underdog" story, which is just...

This year is actually great.

Yeah, Tattoo really felt the hate.

I have it on my playlist now.

Gosh were people actually saying that about Tattoo? I didn't think there were any doubts about it winning

 

[jatojo]

I was looking for support for my opinion that the Croatian song is bad. So I played it for my old mother - thinking that a song like that doesn't appeal at all to the elderly. But - unfortunately - she likes it! A devastating blow ...
