So after getting some information: at the press conference Baby Lasagna said that he was very nervous and that he also didn’t pay attention to the mic 🎤 etc. SO that gives me hope that till Sunday it will all be fixed and maybe new 🆕 stuff on stage … let’s see 🩵 I can’t wait for Sunday
He also said that he wouldn't do the staging same as it was in the music video. Which is a big shame. I was expecting hay, wood and folk costumes. The Maneskin rip-off costume has to go IMO
To me it screams .... ‘Country boy has already arrived in the big city!’ I was expecting more of the feel of the video and would have loved if he kept key elements ... for example the red vest and white peasant shirt! I think he did a great job for a first time live singing performance.
There are terrible expectations and pressure on Marko. By Sunday, all the little things can be corrected when he looks at the video. The performance is very energetic because we all expected it from him. I have never seen such support from the former countries of Yugoslavia, but also expectations in my life. In Croatia, Rim Tim Tagi Dim is slowly turning into the anthem of all young people. And can you just imagine what the people who went to the diaspora expect. There are millions of them and they all recognize themselves in that story. Terrible pressure on a performer who a month ago was a complete anonymous and who did not have enough time to prepare because he came from the reserve list.
He is really talented. For someone who has never sung live he did okay. 😳 With that sort of pressure I could only imagine how nervous one would be. Even if this doesn’t make it to Eurovision he has captured the attention of people around the world ... Good luck Baby L! ❤💕🇦🇺
Yes there are big expectations from him indeed 😢even me as a Eurovision fan I had and then I think about how he just starts her career and I am thinking: ok maybe I expected too much. The song is still the winner song. And it sounds promising what he said that he knows what went wrong and will change it ❤
@@96503412exactly ! The pressure was 10x more on him than others because who’re Europe and not only Europe have been talking about his song since 1 month. So I am glad he said what he said in the press conference and those small stuff if he changes then we have a winner song either way and a winner performance
Yeah for that I FULLY AGREE. Not only Croatia but also so many other national finals are like this. And then in the actual Eurovision they bring the best out of it cause they have the good judgement of performances
The director failed completely - those camera angles were just bad. In Sweden, the producers will nail this! The lace covers on the drums killed me lol Baby Lasagna will kill it! ♥️
I agree! I’ve been saying it for uears but Croatia needs a new camera director! The direction of the cameras even on eurovision with the budget etc is awful!
Yeah I also think a bit more close ups would be better. But let’s see, let’s hope he wins tomorrow cause that’s still the best song of all. And then in Malmö they directors will bring the best out of it 100%. He just has to make it for tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉 and I guess he will
@@username_creates6991oh trust me that is not only on Croatian national final. So many other countries also do not spend a dime about national finals and they still do. But no matter… tomorrow he has to win
Agree camera work was not good at all. Maybe Baby would be better off if he didn’t move around so much. It would be better for his breath g and for the camera shots.
Idk why everyone is criticising him so much it's literally his first time ever performing live, he's gonna improve. He just started singing recently so it's not his forte. The only things that need to be improved a bit is the chorus part and the way he holds the mic. The staging can be better as well but he has time to improve that. Also another big problem is how bad the sound is in general in the HRT studio. If he wins Dora he's gonna have a lot of time to improve for Eurovision anyways.
Marko is a singer-songwriter. He honestly admits that he is not a singer, that he did not hope to pass the Dora, so he did not have time to prepare. In 30 days, he gave numerous interviews, had to record a video and prepare a stage performance. He also admits that he lacks fitness for a dynamic stage performance and needs to work on that. It's not the same as standing and singing, or jumping on stage with a microphone in hand. Marko does his best and is aware of what he still needs to work on. Don't judge him, but support him because he deserves it. Baby Lasagna you the best !!! ❤️
Well I didn’t judge, I already said that he is the one who should win tomorrow. It’s just small small parts that need a small change in order for it to be performance of even winning Eurovision! But that all will come once he wins tomorrow
I LOVE this song! But I agree with your points about sound, vocals and staging. It's still good, but something doesn't hit the same as the video. I read somewhere that they had issues with the mic and mixing. And he's clearly nervous. I still think he is the best choice for Croatia. And my favourite for this eurovision ❤
It is the one who should go to Eurovision from Croatia 🇭🇷 there’s literally no doubt about that. And reading what he said after the live it gives me high hopes that actually he and his team will bring the best out of it tomorrow night.
Aaaawwwww you made me cry !!!!!!! Thank you so much for the honour !!! Thank you sweety, I apreciate you so so much 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 The pressure though 🤣🤣🤣 Ok so here comes 😉. Firstly, I am with you, it is still my favourite song too 😁😍😁. But, gooossshhh were those vocals eeeewwww 😬😬😬. I don't know if it was just that he was OVER excited or what it was, because later on, as you mentioned, he was much better. I imagine he must have been very very nervous, everybody expected so much from him, and so, I still have hopes for Sunday to be honest. I really think that if he focusses his energy more on what he should, he will be great. You remember Kaarija at first? He got much better during the preseason. So there is still hope for us I think 😂🙏😂🙏😂. The staging, there was a bit too much going on for me, I think it should be more polished and I think the musicians shouldn't be there. The washing etc was ok, but it got lost, the dancers were good though and maybe they should be more in sync with him during the first part. The electronic part I LOVED LOVED that was just what I wanted (except for the green, should be another colour 🙃)!!! And from there on, it was what I wanted it to be, great, then he showed his true abilities I think. Soooo, that's my opinion, was it perfect? Absolutely not. Is it still my favourite? Yes. Do we still have hope? Of course we do!!! Come on Georgi, don't give up, I need you on this one 😂😂😂 !!! Big hugs for you 🤗🤗🤗🤗
The problem is that the staging is very random and made up off a bunch of elements that don't go togther. He's dressed in a halloween glam rock costume, the dancers are in some sort of leather one pieces, the drummer is in a tshirt and lace on his head and the girl doing the laundry is in a folk costume. Less is more in this case
Nooo I won’t give up! As I said in the video ! This is still the song to go to Eurovision from all the songs that Dora has. And there are many moments of the performance that were actually very good. With some small changes he wins and after that the rest is history because in Malmö they will make an amazing performance. I read that he went to the toilet 4 times before he performs heheh I love him. And you’re right about kaarija he became better with every performance… I am glad I have you in the comments always heheh because I feel like the stuff that I oversee you remind me of 😀🩷
@@georgikanevESC Exactly, there is still hope. Maybe he will change things about the staging for tomorrow, maybe he will be less nervous and more in control, maybe he will feel less anxious now he's been on stage once, maybe he will be able to focus better. Let's keep our fingers crossed🤞🤞🤞.
All the ingredients are there. I agree, it just needs some refinement. A headset mic, for starters, would help so he has both hands free. I'm not wild about the Kaarija sleeves and the green. I know imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but that was too brazen. Marko can do this on his own. I would also prefer visuals of real farm animals rather than the digital animals in the background. For his first performance on a big stage, he did exceptionally well. (And please ignore the Kula person who commented--a Let3 disciple who is spamming every reaction to this because of his/her/their insecurity about Let3's chances.)
I agree on all and above all I agree on the digital cats behind. This is not fitting to their outfits and the staging. I think it would be better if in the LED is shown something else, maybe a grandmother banging her head in the beat of the song. Why not. That’s what we all do when we hear the song 🤩🤩🤩 But yeah , baby lasagna has to win tomorrow
I think Georgi you're panicking, it's not even May yet, there is time to improve. It wasn't a flop, just not perfect. Trust him. Best song and I hope Baby Lasagna will represent Croatia.
Haha I panicked only because I want him to win. But overall it wasn’t so bad as people think. I mean I said in the video that many of the stuff we’re not even on him… it’s probably on the production. What needs to happen is him winning … all the rest can be fixed till May ❤
@@georgikanevESC, I know. I'll be as heartbroken as I was with Jann if he doesn't make it. But at this point Baby Lasagna needs support, sleeps little, he is stressed, poor :c Still has a good chance of winning Dora. Because this is their best option. Vamos Baby Lasagna
@@agnieszkakozowska4171 yes well I hope he does sleep good and won’t get sick even until tomorrow, cause tomorrow they will have also many rehearsals till the show starts
I still want this to win but this needs a lot of work, I don’t like his outfit but i like the outfit of the dancers/backing. The staging in the first part of the song is messy but the dancebreak with the green is really cool and love his energy after the dancebreak. Still hope he wins though 🤞
For all the hype and buzz lets be honest this needs a lot of work… and more so a complete reset in regards to the staging and his outfit especially. Expectations were super high for good reason after the music video but sadly pretty much everything wasn’t up to standard here🤷♂️ He’s lucky he’ll probably still win with this mess but after that get someone serious involved creatively!
So, I love the song and I love the lad even more. I only hope he manages to translate all this fan-love he gets to more confidence on stage in time. I think it can happen. Let him win Dora and he can work it out for Malmo. Now the staging concept... 1 I love the coloured animals trance parade! Keep that!! 2 I love the granny's lace-towels on the drumset. Keep that!!! 3 His outfit is mostly good but needs some polishing. There's something wrong with his head. He's a handsome lad but comes as very pale. Part of it is because of his nervous facial expressions and his inconfident body posture. After fixing that, something might need to change styling-wise. Let his beautiful face stand out more. The chocker might have to go cause it's shrinking the face-frame. We may need some daring and out there make up and hair styling. And then of course better lights on him and close up camera shots. The face of a winner can not be pale, can not be fading into the background. Take this beauty and bring it to the front. 4 Now the background staging. Needs polishing for sure. It's quite too messy. And not in a way that would add energy or fun. It's distraction and confusion more than anything else. See what Kaarija did. Because the comparisom is there of course. Kaarija had a perfect staging. A proper winner staging. It was crazy, daring, energetic, fun BUT it was very sleek and very specific. All the suggestions were very clean and loud. Leaving us with no confusion. Lasagna needs work with that. Craziness doesn't mean giving up to chaos. Keep the animals, keep the lace-toweled drumset, the rest needs work. Be careful with the lights and for sure do something with the dancers. The male dancer is gorgeous (the girl is ok too :p ) and I wouldn't necessarily get rid of him but make them do something more specific and well thought out. They currently seem a bit random. Just adding noise and distraction on the stage. They need a proper choreo and suitable styling. If they are not clearly complimenting Lasagna, they shouldn't be there. I 'd say keep them but complitely change what they do. And finally, of course what everybody says. The sound mix. It's crucial to fix that. He needs to feel confident for his voice, he knows he's not a singer, we know it, we are fine with it, our love does not require big notes and impressive technic. The song doesn't need it, we don't need it, make sure he doesn't need it and bring him full on loud and proud to the front. He's not Pavarotti, he's a charmer and an entertainer and that's precious enough. I don't think the juries in Malmo will support him enough but a televote top5 (at least) is very achievable and I think it would be a lovely success story for a so fresh artist. Wish him the best, can't wait to enjoy him shining in Malmo!
Such a precise comment !!! 🥇 I agree on a lot of the things you wrote. Especially about how to make the performance to have specific things that will stand out and will be very visible to the people watching. Not to have too much happening, but to have 4-5 stuff that will be shown over and over again so people can know ( oh I love this moment ) About the male dancer 🥳😂 I agree ! We don’t get rid of him at any cost!! About the sound I don’t know how much Dora can do about that for tomorrow … maybe he wins and in Malmö the sound mix will be as we know , perfectly made. I want him to win, the song is the best out of all the other songs
Bit of a wardrobe disfunction...sleeves and top are too cumbersome...they interfere in his freedom of movement.....He needs "the RED vest" as the lack of colour both clothes and hair have washed him out....maybe even colur hair back to dark. The lightness is too ethereal...image needs to get "grounded" Just a tweak or 2 and he's good to go. 🇭🇷❤🇭🇷
Hmm actually red would be very nice indeed on him. And even at the party where the green lights come behind me could be red ones. That would be awesome 😎
I think what we've experiencing here is his inexperience at performing live. He has a great energy and he has great pitch - but his breathing is off and largely because he is moving around so much. With his breathing being off, it is affecting his vocal. Ever heard stories of Beyonce practicing singing on a treadmill? That's all for her breathing. He may need to coordinate his movement a little better to ensure he isn't sounding out of breath throughout his performance. Otherwise, for someone new to the stage, he did a great job.
Agree, but still think he was better than most of the artists in both semi finals, so I think people need to stop hating so much and show him more support.
@@lucijazavrski I'm not hating. I want him through - I think he is our Eurovision winner for this year out of all the entries I've seen this year. Like others, I just had high expectations for his performance and perhaps there is a little more work to do to get him to the winner's podium.
@@LawrenceAkers Completely understand. Hopefully he will be the best on sunday, but I still think whatever happens, he should be the one to go to Malmo, no one else, not even Let 3 for god sake, again hahah
@@lucijazavrski I actually loved Let 3 last year. I was surprised how much I frequently went back to their track when listening to the year's entries. They were great live as well, and I was thrilled they made the final. As an Australian and aware that we'll probably never win Eurovision (for obvoius reasons!), I'm always happy to be exposed to music from European artists that I would not normally hear about.
Love the song, love the music video and like the performance. I’m just confused if he’s going for humor with the graphics and dancers or serious hard rock with the masks? There’s also no interaction with the people in the back “playing” the instruments or even really the dancers so I feel it’s very disconnected. I think if he let the dancers move more and let him have more stable but strong movements it would go better for him. Also would lose the arm covers. But he seems to be a very nice guy and the song is great so I’m hoping for the best for him. 🎉
I also hope for the best for him cause he really really deserves it. The song is a clear banger and needs to go to Eurovision. So I hope his team will look at the performance today and will decide to take some stuff out and make it more clean
The camera angles are missing. The camera direction from croatia is poor. I would like him to change his outfit just a little to not lose the Istrian national outfit. But there is something from the Istrian outfits there. I also want them to get more backup dancers and for them to dance as they did in the music video. Anyway. The camera direction. For croatia its always the camera direction. In Let3 performance last uear it was the same problem on eurovision. It was an even bigger problem with Albina a few years back too
Yes you’re right about that now when I think about let3 performance last year and about Albina… but this means that the stage director or how the person is called that does this job …. Should maybe consider asking for help ? Because the camera angles were indeed not good. There are so many good stuff in the performance that can be shown ..
@@georgikanevESC no reason simply TV do poor job :( at the end i dont think that is important if LB wins he have enough time to correct his voice and stage perfomance
Both videos give out the folk tradition as well as 1900s vibe, when many people emigrated from these parts, he should have kept the emphasis on the style from the videos and garner it with some rock/metal details. And that energetic folk stomp dance should be the firm basis for the choreography, not waving hands and tiptoeing about like some ballet dancers.
If you like this song, you will definitely like the original song which is "Party in My Head" from Pain. He combined some parts with a different song called "Espectro". So yes, "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" is a plagiarism. @EurovisionJaneB made a video about it.
Ooohh WOOOOW 😱!! I just watched it and my oh my, you are right ! I don't see the Pain "Party in my head" comparison that much, but a bit yes. But the "Espectro" part from Adrian de la Vega is just exactly the same 😨. You just left me k.o.
Firstly I don’t get the hype. Don’t get me wrong, I like the song I just don’t get moist. But I agree there’s something off with the staging… I’m no Stefi but I think it is too chaotic and the camera is going everywhere… the camera needs to focus more on him… and yes the green and pink lights and the cha cha cha sleeves need to go… 😬… hope Stefi approves 🤞… thanks for all the content, Georgi! You’re killing it this season.
Haha love the "don't get moist" comment. Sometimes I feel like I'm living on a different planet. The song is really nowhere close to being a masterpiece or musically innovative. But Eurovision fans have decided to make him the new Kaarija.
The pressure 😱😱😱😂😂😂. Stefi 100% agrees with you, except for that you don't like the song 😉. You are one of my favourite commentors by the way, we agree on a LOT 😇😘
@@JNL76 haha I said I like the song. I just don’t think it’s the certain winner of Eurovision 😜 nor do I get spasms of joy when I listen to it. But I like….. 🤔
For what it's worth it's been known from first rehersals that HRT screwed up the lighting and made it green. Apparently, he wanted it red. I have no idea why they weren't able to fix it. For what we know, some genious from HRT decided Kaarija flashbacks would be better. And the puffy sleeves are a part of the Istrian traditional outfirlt and a black vest. So he is keeping it traditional in that regard, although I would also like to see a bit less puff.
Going to give some real criticism here because I want this to do well if/when it gets to Malmö And I am going to be blunt. The song is great here. The staging is really good. The outfit...needs help. The puffy sleeves are too similar to Käärijä's green bolero look from last year... and even worse that it's in a similarly upbeat song, so the comparison is going to be drawn. Get rid of the puffy sleeves for Malmö. You do not want to be compared to Käärijä the year after he did his song because you will be considered the knock-off!!! In my Top 5 already!!! Love from Baton Rouge 🇺🇲
Well I like it, you’re on point and blunt indeed 🥇 The song is great and I said in the video it’s a song that could win the televoting. The staving needs improvement in my opinion. Some stuff need to be taken out and some moments more shown. Other than that… he should be the one who wins and goes to Malmö indeed 😊
sorry darling - but Baby is trying to ride on a Cha Cha wave. And the original is SO much better; the song it self, the voice and staging. Where Käriijâ told us a story through the staging and sceneshow - Baby give us something very random. As Baby try to ride this wave - he must see the necessity to bring something that is even better than the original - and sorry - he does not.@@georgikanevESC
He will. We all agree that there is a lot of work to do for Malmö, but he has time, and will get the support of everyone in the Croatian music industry. I have no doubts he will sound much much better at the ESC. 😉
Left this comment on the Dora video so might as well copy and paste: There's a lot of hype with Eurovision fans around this. The studio cut of the song did nothing for me. The music video is a good selling point - very well produced and he looks great in it. It made me like the song more and appreciate the lyrical content. This performance is rather underwhelming, and needs a lot of work for the Eurovision stage. I'm sorry but I don't see it anywhere close to being a Eurovision winner right now if it manages to clinch the Dora trophy, and all this hype you're putting on him is only increasing the pressure and expectation.
I just watched the video someone below here recommends: ruclips.net/video/_3TCwMOkP1A/видео.html . It's not just similar to a small part of the song you mention, the Rim Tim Tagi Dim part is exactly the same as "Espectro" from Adrian de la Vega 😱
Evan tho the song is good the live is terible. I tryed to convince myself but i just cant get behind that bad staging and bad outfits but the coreo is soooo bad especially at the end where he keeos punching air like what is that... its terible sorry i am disapointed
@@JNL76 idk i see a lot of people defending it but okey i would get id the vocals are the only problems but they have no sence of style, fashion or staging. Like who did this its terible waste of money. Idk i dont want this to go to eurovision lioe this when there is like 2/3 others who did better with staging and live vocals
@@markojovanovic5901 Personally, I think generally DORA was having trouble. There were weird fashion choices, even weirder dress changes mid performances, terrible sound/vocals of a lot of singers and caotic staging in a lot of performances. So based only on the live performances we have seen these nights, yes, definately I think others were way better than Baby Lasagna, no doubt about it. Damir for example was vocally impeccable. Lu Dedic was my second absolute favourite in her studio version and live she definately didn't disappoint me. And there were others that were very good. So, if Baby doesn't win, I would absolutely understand.
@@markojovanovic5901 I agree with you in the part of what's fair, based on quality it wouldn't be fair. But I dont' think he was cocky, I think he was so nervous he just didn't know how to focus his energy.
Pretty much agree with you. Still my winner, absolutely. The energy is there, the singing is there, and the concept is there too, but the staging needs an improvement. I'd said specially with the dancers, I love when they do that traditional dance in the rim tim tagi dim, but not that much some parts of the dance. It's a bit off. Also seemed like there was some problem with the mic, or maybe with the distance of the mic? Anyway, he said in the press con that he was overly excited and that he was conscious about the vocal issues. I'm sure on that part he's gonna be better on Sunday. It was his first time on a big stage, I mean, the nerves should have been there. But yeah, for me he should improve the staging. But hey, last year Käärijä was a bit of a mess too in the national final, and then they improved for Eurovision, so there's time to fix that. It's Croatia's best option tbh, and if he wins, my Eurovision winner, yesss, I say it. And the cats dancing at the end in the back, I'm in love hahaha
Yessss I agree ! There are so many stuff in the performance that are good thought… some other stuff could be cut out. This way it don’t be confusing for people what to watch and what to see. But it is my winner as well ❤

The Maneskin rip-off costume has to go IMO
@@krunoslavkovacec1842maybe he'll change that on sunday if he reads tons of comments hehe
Less is more! He can do it! And the cat? He needs a shabby cuddly toy cat because this is the emotional culmination of the piece.
To me it screams .... ‘Country boy has already arrived in the big city!’
I was expecting more of the feel of the video and would have loved if he kept key elements ... for example the red vest and white peasant shirt!
I think he did a great job for a first time live singing performance.

Ok so here comes 😉. Firstly, I am with you, it is still my favourite song too 😁😍😁.
But, gooossshhh were those vocals eeeewwww 😬😬😬. I don't know if it was just that he was OVER excited or what it was, because later on, as you mentioned, he was much better.

I really think that if he focusses his energy more on what he should, he will be great. You remember Kaarija at first? He got much better during the preseason. So there is still hope for us I think 😂🙏😂🙏😂.
The staging, there was a bit too much going on for me, I think it should be more polished and I think the musicians shouldn't be there. The washing etc was ok, but it got lost, the dancers were good though and maybe they should be more in sync with him during the first part.
The electronic part I LOVED LOVED that was just what I wanted (except for the green, should be another colour 🙃)!!! And from there on, it was what I wanted it to be, great, then he showed his true abilities I think.
Soooo, that's my opinion, was it perfect? Absolutely not. Is it still my favourite? Yes. Do we still have hope? Of course we do!!! Come on Georgi, don't give up, I need you on this one 😂😂😂 !!!
Big hugs for you 🤗🤗🤗🤗
The problem is that the staging is very random and made up off a bunch of elements that don't go togther. He's dressed in a halloween glam rock costume, the dancers are in some sort of leather one pieces, the drummer is in a tshirt and lace on his head and the girl doing the laundry is in a folk costume.
Less is more in this case
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 Exactly, 100% agree.
Nooo I won’t give up! As I said in the video ! This is still the song to go to Eurovision from all the songs that Dora has. And there are many moments of the performance that were actually very good. With some small changes he wins and after that the rest is history because in Malmö they will make an amazing performance.
I read that he went to the toilet 4 times before he performs heheh I love him.
And you’re right about kaarija he became better with every performance…
I am glad I have you in the comments always heheh because I feel like the stuff that I oversee you remind me of 😀🩷
@@krunoslavkovacec1842oh 😮that’s very true … and the camera can’t capture everything in 3 minutes long video
@@georgikanevESC Exactly, there is still hope. Maybe he will change things about the staging for tomorrow, maybe he will be less nervous and more in control, maybe he will feel less anxious now he's been on stage once, maybe he will be able to focus better. Let's keep our fingers crossed🤞🤞🤞.
By the way I read someone saying elsewhere:
If Kaarija and Maneskin had a baby = Baby Lasagna !
So true 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What he's wearing is very Maneskin after they made it big in the US.
Yes and to me it's nothing new and fresh couse it's reminding me quite on Finland CHA CHA CHA ... sorry
@@SANDRICA252 it doesn't have anything to do with cha cha cha. Zilch. Nada.
Hahah he is a cutie
All the ingredients are there. I agree, it just needs some refinement. A headset mic, for starters, would help so he has both hands free. I'm not wild about the Kaarija sleeves and the green. I know imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but that was too brazen. Marko can do this on his own. I would also prefer visuals of real farm animals rather than the digital animals in the background.
For his first performance on a big stage, he did exceptionally well. (And please ignore the Kula person who commented--a Let3 disciple who is spamming every reaction to this because of his/her/their insecurity about Let3's chances.)
He said he doesn't want a head mounted mic because he doesn't know what to do with his hands
I agree on all and above all I agree on the digital cats behind. This is not fitting to their outfits and the staging. I think it would be better if in the LED is shown something else, maybe a grandmother banging her head in the beat of the song. Why not. That’s what we all do when we hear the song 🤩🤩🤩
But yeah , baby lasagna has to win tomorrow
I think Georgi you're panicking, it's not even May yet, there is time to improve. It wasn't a flop, just not perfect. Trust him.
Best song and I hope Baby Lasagna will represent Croatia.
Haha I panicked only because I want him to win. But overall it wasn’t so bad as people think. I mean I said in the video that many of the stuff we’re not even on him… it’s probably on the production. What needs to happen is him winning … all the rest can be fixed till May ❤
@@georgikanevESC, I know. I'll be as heartbroken as I was with Jann if he doesn't make it. But at this point Baby Lasagna needs support, sleeps little, he is stressed, poor :c
Still has a good chance of winning Dora. Because this is their best option. Vamos Baby Lasagna
@@agnieszkakozowska4171 yes well I hope he does sleep good and won’t get sick even until tomorrow, cause tomorrow they will have also many rehearsals till the show starts
I still want this to win but this needs a lot of work, I don’t like his outfit but i like the outfit of the dancers/backing. The staging in the first part of the song is messy but the dancebreak with the green is really cool and love his energy after the dancebreak. Still hope he wins though 🤞
Literally everyone in comments hopes the same heheh ❤ so we are all team baby lasagna and Croatia has to vote for him
@@georgikanevESC I am nervous for tomorrow night though because you never know what will happen in Dora 😂
@@rhysjones7002 oh 😧 me too !! And I am so watching it ! Only to see and hope for the best 🙏
Song + official video are 9.5/10 - - - live performance at Dora was 6.5/10. This needs to be improved for Malmö.
And it will. I remember Czechia last year… they were not there with their live and visuals …. And look at them in Malmö …. It was 10/10 ❤
For all the hype and buzz lets be honest this needs a lot of work… and more so a complete reset in regards to the staging and his outfit especially. Expectations were super high for good reason after the music video but sadly pretty much everything wasn’t up to standard here🤷♂️ He’s lucky he’ll probably still win with this mess but after that get someone serious involved creatively!
Yes let him first win. And then in Malmö and until Malmö he will have a lot of time to work on all details …
TOP!👏👍🇭🇷
And his digestion can be fixed. He said he had diarrhea all morning.😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 oh he is so cute for sharing that 😊
So, I love the song and I love the lad even more. I only hope he manages to translate all this fan-love he gets to more confidence on stage in time. I think it can happen. Let him win Dora and he can work it out for Malmo.
Now the staging concept...
1 I love the coloured animals trance parade! Keep that!!
2 I love the granny's lace-towels on the drumset. Keep that!!!
3 His outfit is mostly good but needs some polishing. There's something wrong with his head. He's a handsome lad but comes as very pale. Part of it is because of his nervous facial expressions and his inconfident body posture. After fixing that, something might need to change styling-wise. Let his beautiful face stand out more. The chocker might have to go cause it's shrinking the face-frame. We may need some daring and out there make up and hair styling. And then of course better lights on him and close up camera shots. The face of a winner can not be pale, can not be fading into the background. Take this beauty and bring it to the front.
4 Now the background staging. Needs polishing for sure. It's quite too messy. And not in a way that would add energy or fun. It's distraction and confusion more than anything else. See what Kaarija did. Because the comparisom is there of course. Kaarija had a perfect staging. A proper winner staging. It was crazy, daring, energetic, fun BUT it was very sleek and very specific. All the suggestions were very clean and loud. Leaving us with no confusion. Lasagna needs work with that. Craziness doesn't mean giving up to chaos. Keep the animals, keep the lace-toweled drumset, the rest needs work. Be careful with the lights and for sure do something with the dancers. The male dancer is gorgeous (the girl is ok too :p ) and I wouldn't necessarily get rid of him but make them do something more specific and well thought out. They currently seem a bit random. Just adding noise and distraction on the stage. They need a proper choreo and suitable styling. If they are not clearly complimenting Lasagna, they shouldn't be there. I 'd say keep them but complitely change what they do.
And finally, of course what everybody says. The sound mix. It's crucial to fix that. He needs to feel confident for his voice, he knows he's not a singer, we know it, we are fine with it, our love does not require big notes and impressive technic. The song doesn't need it, we don't need it, make sure he doesn't need it and bring him full on loud and proud to the front. He's not Pavarotti, he's a charmer and an entertainer and that's precious enough.
I don't think the juries in Malmo will support him enough but a televote top5 (at least) is very achievable and I think it would be a lovely success story for a so fresh artist.
Wish him the best, can't wait to enjoy him shining in Malmo!
Such a precise comment !!! 🥇 I agree on a lot of the things you wrote. Especially about how to make the performance to have specific things that will stand out and will be very visible to the people watching. Not to have too much happening, but to have 4-5 stuff that will be shown over and over again so people can know ( oh I love this moment )
About the male dancer 🥳😂 I agree ! We don’t get rid of him at any cost!!
About the sound I don’t know how much Dora can do about that for tomorrow … maybe he wins and in Malmö the sound mix will be as we know , perfectly made.
I want him to win, the song is the best out of all the other songs
Bit of a wardrobe disfunction...sleeves and top are too cumbersome...they interfere in his freedom of movement.....He needs "the RED vest" as the lack of colour both clothes and hair have washed him out....maybe even colur hair back to dark. The lightness is too ethereal...image needs to get "grounded"
Just a tweak or 2 and he's good to go. 🇭🇷❤🇭🇷
Hmm actually red would be very nice indeed on him. And even at the party where the green lights come behind me could be red ones. That would be awesome 😎
Baby Lasagna gooo ❤❤❤
🫶🫶
My number one ❤ Nothing change it
I think what we've experiencing here is his inexperience at performing live. He has a great energy and he has great pitch - but his breathing is off and largely because he is moving around so much. With his breathing being off, it is affecting his vocal. Ever heard stories of Beyonce practicing singing on a treadmill? That's all for her breathing. He may need to coordinate his movement a little better to ensure he isn't sounding out of breath throughout his performance. Otherwise, for someone new to the stage, he did a great job.
Agree, but still think he was better than most of the artists in both semi finals, so I think people need to stop hating so much and show him more support.
Agree
@@lucijazavrski I'm not hating. I want him through - I think he is our Eurovision winner for this year out of all the entries I've seen this year. Like others, I just had high expectations for his performance and perhaps there is a little more work to do to get him to the winner's podium.
@@LawrenceAkers Completely understand. Hopefully he will be the best on sunday, but I still think whatever happens, he should be the one to go to Malmo, no one else, not even Let 3 for god sake, again hahah
@@lucijazavrski I actually loved Let 3 last year. I was surprised how much I frequently went back to their track when listening to the year's entries. They were great live as well, and I was thrilled they made the final. As an Australian and aware that we'll probably never win Eurovision (for obvoius reasons!), I'm always happy to be exposed to music from European artists that I would not normally hear about.
Love the song, love the music video and like the performance. I’m just confused if he’s going for humor with the graphics and dancers or serious hard rock with the masks? There’s also no interaction with the people in the back “playing” the instruments or even really the dancers so I feel it’s very disconnected. I think if he let the dancers move more and let him have more stable but strong movements it would go better for him. Also would lose the arm covers. But he seems to be a very nice guy and the song is great so I’m hoping for the best for him. 🎉
I also hope for the best for him cause he really really deserves it. The song is a clear banger and needs to go to Eurovision. So I hope his team will look at the performance today and will decide to take some stuff out and make it more clean
The camera angles are missing. The camera direction from croatia is poor. I would like him to change his outfit just a little to not lose the Istrian national outfit. But there is something from the Istrian outfits there. I also want them to get more backup dancers and for them to dance as they did in the music video. Anyway. The camera direction. For croatia its always the camera direction. In Let3 performance last uear it was the same problem on eurovision. It was an even bigger problem with Albina a few years back too
Yes you’re right about that now when I think about let3 performance last year and about Albina… but this means that the stage director or how the person is called that does this job …. Should maybe consider asking for help ? Because the camera angles were indeed not good. There are so many good stuff in the performance that can be shown ..
@georgi kanev @1:59 peope who was there live says that light and sound was perfect, tv screw sound totally
I saw also small clips that people who were there uploaded on Twitter and on those clips he sounded good. Why did they do that on tv then ? 😮😮
@@georgikanevESC no reason simply TV do poor job :( at the end i dont think that is important if LB wins he have enough time to correct his voice and stage perfomance
@@Jugoplastika but that’s why, we need him to win so that Swedens tv can do a good job :)))
@@georgikanevESC i agree in sweden he will show all his talent better
@@Jugoplastika and the people there who are doing camera etc know exactly what will work and what not
Both videos give out the folk tradition as well as 1900s vibe, when many people emigrated from these parts, he should have kept the emphasis on the style from the videos and garner it with some rock/metal details. And that energetic folk stomp dance should be the firm basis for the choreography, not waving hands and tiptoeing about like some ballet dancers.
BL❤ goooooooo
I need that t shirt 😅
Which one ? Mine ?? Why ? 😮
If you like this song, you will definitely like the original song which is "Party in My Head" from Pain. He combined some parts with a different song called "Espectro". So yes, "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" is a plagiarism.
@EurovisionJaneB made a video about it.
Ooohh WOOOOW 😱!! I just watched it and my oh my, you are right ! I don't see the Pain "Party in my head" comparison that much, but a bit yes. But the "Espectro" part from Adrian de la Vega is just exactly the same 😨. You just left me k.o.
Oh ok , I didn’t know that actually so I must watch. I wanna know more about the message of the song
@@JNL76omg I go to watch right now !!! Steffi you gonna make me k.o if you agree I have to watch
@@georgikanevESC We don't know if he has permission of Adrian de la Vega, could be.
Firstly I don’t get the hype. Don’t get me wrong, I like the song I just don’t get moist. But I agree there’s something off with the staging… I’m no Stefi but I think it is too chaotic and the camera is going everywhere… the camera needs to focus more on him… and yes the green and pink lights and the cha cha cha sleeves need to go… 😬… hope Stefi approves 🤞… thanks for all the content, Georgi! You’re killing it this season.
Same i dont get the hype behind the song its cool but not winner or too 10 for me. Also the staving and live is really bad
Haha love the "don't get moist" comment.
Sometimes I feel like I'm living on a different planet. The song is really nowhere close to being a masterpiece or musically innovative.
But Eurovision fans have decided to make him the new Kaarija.
The pressure 😱😱😱😂😂😂. Stefi 100% agrees with you, except for that you don't like the song 😉. You are one of my favourite commentors by the way, we agree on a LOT 😇😘
@@JNL76 haha I said I like the song. I just don’t think it’s the certain winner of Eurovision 😜 nor do I get spasms of joy when I listen to it. But I like….. 🤔
For what it's worth it's been known from first rehersals that HRT screwed up the lighting and made it green. Apparently, he wanted it red. I have no idea why they weren't able to fix it. For what we know, some genious from HRT decided Kaarija flashbacks would be better.
And the puffy sleeves are a part of the Istrian traditional outfirlt and a black vest. So he is keeping it traditional in that regard, although I would also like to see a bit less puff.
Going to give some real criticism here because I want this to do well if/when it gets to Malmö
And I am going to be blunt.
The song is great here.
The staging is really good.
The outfit...needs help.
The puffy sleeves are too similar to Käärijä's green bolero look from last year... and even worse that it's in a similarly upbeat song, so the comparison is going to be drawn.
Get rid of the puffy sleeves for Malmö.
You do not want to be compared to Käärijä the year after he did his song because you will be considered the knock-off!!!
In my Top 5 already!!!
Love from Baton Rouge 🇺🇲
Well I like it, you’re on point and blunt indeed 🥇
The song is great and I said in the video it’s a song that could win the televoting.
The staving needs improvement in my opinion. Some stuff need to be taken out and some moments more shown.
Other than that… he should be the one who wins and goes to Malmö indeed 😊
Baby is the pale cousin of Käriija. Lets just admit it.
😂😂 oh come on
sorry darling - but Baby is trying to ride on a Cha Cha wave. And the original is SO much better; the song it self, the voice and staging. Where Käriijâ told us a story through the staging and sceneshow - Baby give us something very random. As Baby try to ride this wave - he must see the necessity to bring something that is even better than the original - and sorry - he does not.@@georgikanevESC
It does not sound good live unfortunately 😢
He will. We all agree that there is a lot of work to do for Malmö, but he has time, and will get the support of everyone in the Croatian music industry. I have no doubts he will sound much much better at the ESC. 😉
Hopefully 🤞
@@AlcatrazHRI hope so too. And so many other thousands hope that too haha
I don’t like this song. I would like to like, but I find it aggressive and without vocals. But not everyone should have the same tastes…
Well of course not! I also don’t like every single Eurovision song that comes out and sometimes songs that end up top 5 in the final
He needs to use his mic better. The vocals are too low in the mix.
I think he would do better with a headmic
Croatian national television sound is awfully shitty
I just watched the press conference and he said he was SUPER nervous and he completely forgot to pay attention to his mic .
@@JNL76 great. I hope he becomes more confident.
@@tonyttt31Whatever happens on sunday, he is the only hope for us in Malmo.
Left this comment on the Dora video so might as well copy and paste:
There's a lot of hype with Eurovision fans around this.
The studio cut of the song did nothing for me.
The music video is a good selling point - very well produced and he looks great in it. It made me like the song more and appreciate the lyrical content.
This performance is rather underwhelming, and needs a lot of work for the Eurovision stage.
I'm sorry but I don't see it anywhere close to being a Eurovision winner right now if it manages to clinch the Dora trophy, and all this hype you're putting on him is only increasing the pressure and expectation.
This is stolen song,original one is Pain - Party in my head
I just watched the video someone below here recommends: ruclips.net/video/_3TCwMOkP1A/видео.html . It's not just similar to a small part of the song you mention, the Rim Tim Tagi Dim part is exactly the same as "Espectro" from Adrian de la Vega 😱
@@mirko_pazi_metak posisaj ga
Evan tho the song is good the live is terible. I tryed to convince myself but i just cant get behind that bad staging and bad outfits but the coreo is soooo bad especially at the end where he keeos punching air like what is that... its terible sorry i am disapointed
I think that, right now, we all are, including the fans.
@@JNL76 idk i see a lot of people defending it but okey i would get id the vocals are the only problems but they have no sence of style, fashion or staging. Like who did this its terible waste of money. Idk i dont want this to go to eurovision lioe this when there is like 2/3 others who did better with staging and live vocals
@@markojovanovic5901 Personally, I think generally DORA was having trouble. There were weird fashion choices, even weirder dress changes mid performances, terrible sound/vocals of a lot of singers and caotic staging in a lot of performances. So based only on the live performances we have seen these nights, yes, definately I think others were way better than Baby Lasagna, no doubt about it. Damir for example was vocally impeccable. Lu Dedic was my second absolute favourite in her studio version and live she definately didn't disappoint me. And there were others that were very good.
So, if Baby doesn't win, I would absolutely understand.
@@JNL76 idk it wouldnt be fair for him to win when he did this bad. I think he got cocky knowing he was favourite but this isnt quality
@@markojovanovic5901 I agree with you in the part of what's fair, based on quality it wouldn't be fair. But I dont' think he was cocky, I think he was so nervous he just didn't know how to focus his energy.
Poor vocal, lot of noice, imitation of finland... Bad😮
Ne seri
Hm ???
Why to be honest ? Huh ? I am honest
Sorry
Such a flop! :( This is not good ..He cannot change anything as he does not have a voice. Kaarija the same end ,wtf??
you're copy pasting this boring comment all over yt. Get a life dude
Kula go touch grass bro, you are hateing on every video
Kula90a is an irrelevant troll! Don't feed him.
So stupid song
Pretty much agree with you. Still my winner, absolutely. The energy is there, the singing is there, and the concept is there too, but the staging needs an improvement. I'd said specially with the dancers, I love when they do that traditional dance in the rim tim tagi dim, but not that much some parts of the dance. It's a bit off. Also seemed like there was some problem with the mic, or maybe with the distance of the mic? Anyway, he said in the press con that he was overly excited and that he was conscious about the vocal issues. I'm sure on that part he's gonna be better on Sunday. It was his first time on a big stage, I mean, the nerves should have been there. But yeah, for me he should improve the staging. But hey, last year Käärijä was a bit of a mess too in the national final, and then they improved for Eurovision, so there's time to fix that. It's Croatia's best option tbh, and if he wins, my Eurovision winner, yesss, I say it. And the cats dancing at the end in the back, I'm in love hahaha
Yessss I agree ! There are so many stuff in the performance that are good thought… some other stuff could be cut out. This way it don’t be confusing for people what to watch and what to see.
But it is my winner as well ❤
