My top 24 of Dora 2024:1. Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Dagi DimAlright, I'm aware that this is the favourite of the festival. I also knew the song was probably an epic one lol. But I wasn't prepared for what it actually turned out to be lol.
It's amazing though probably doesn't fully work on Spotify so I'm really looking forward to it is lice performance lol. If it gets selected it could go really high in Malmö - if staged well ofc.
2. Lu Dedić – Plavi LeptirEpic opening and very beautiful song overall. I'm not used to this kind of song
3. Eugen – TišineA very beautiful ballad. He also can sing.
4. Alen Đuras – A Tamburitza Lullaby This is really catchy and surprisingly good.
5. Vinko – Lying eyesA very beautiful piano ballad. I enjoy it's instrumentation a lot - also because it's something ee vacant heard too many times this season yet. He has a more or less original voice, but I have to decrease its ranking because I kinda hate how he has to scream in the last minute.
6. The Splitters – Od kad te sanjamI enjoy this song a lot. It's got some old school vibes going on.
7. Vatra – Slatke suze, gorka ljubavA traditional entry. It's happy and fun.
8. Damir Kedžo – Voljena ženoA beautiful ballad. I feel like there's ath missing however.
9. Boris Štok – Can we talkVery beautiful song and amazing vocals. I don't like him repeating the word talk ...
10. James Night – Nebo plačeA good uptempo song. The wowowow part wasn't needed, however.
11. Let 3 – BabarogaFirst of all, him singing that high annoys me. And it really does sound AI generated. Tho it's somewhat catchy - yet much weaker than last year's song - and I can't wait how this will be done live ngl.
12. Pavel – Do MjesecaFirst off, I was expecting Pavel to be 1 guy lol. I enjoy the song nonetheless. It's got some 80s vibes.
13. Stefany Žužić – Sretnih dana dat' ce bogA beautiful ballad vocalised by a beautiful voice. Maybe it could be a bit slower though?
14. Marcela – GasolineShe can sing. Her song is enjoyable too.
15. Saša Lozar – Ne plačem zbog njeA beautiful ballad. Its first part is good, but then it sadly drops ...
16. Erna – How do you love me It's a good song. It seems to be a bit repetitive. She's got a strong voice, tho at parts it annoys me.
17. Misha – One day It's an epic one. Although I find the lead vocalist too shouting. Besides that the sing is alright.
18. Mario Battifiaca & Robert Ferlin – Vodu piti trizan bitiI dislike the headline ... It has a beautiful instrumental, but I can't really get into the song.
19. Natalie Balmix – DijamantiIt's alright. Nothing outstanding, but neither bad.
20. ET – Pametnom dostaA kinda fun dance pop song. I'm not so fond of her voice. Its catchy tho.
21. Barbara Munjas - NepobjedivaThis is okay.
22. Noelle – Baby, Baby I dislike how she's at parts more aspirating than actually singing, although she's got a beautiful voice. The song itself is alright. Its got some 80s vibes going on. Maybe the lyrics could be a bit less Baby baby?
A few songs later I can also say that it's not very memorable.
23. Lana Mandarić – More It's okay, but quite uneventful I fear. She sings the title too often imo.
24. Lara Demarin – Ne Vjerujem tiThis has an annoying beat. I neither enjoy her vocals. Her singing during the rappers part doesn't make it any better either. Why's he even there btw?
Dora 2024 seems to be pretty good.
I'm enjoying lots of the songs - including several fillers lol. It's got a good variety as well.
