Croatia 2024: Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim

[auretz]

Let 3 back already, as is Damir Kedžo from 2020. They're probably going to have semis for the first time since 2010.

More importantly, will someone withdraw so we get to hear the first reserve song "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" by Baby Lasagna?!

 

[Apoca]

Omg, the vein on Damir Kedžo's head still hasn't burst?

This happened, and Baby Lasagna are now favourites to win

 

[Dark Carnival]

Not what I expected "Baby Lasagna" to sound like. Shit.

 

[auretz]

In my neverending search for basic dance-pop, I've really grown to like "Gasoline" from this it obviously won't win but it's one for the playlist.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

OBSESSED

 

[VoR]

I like the verses, but do metal-influenced Eurovision entries only have the one chorus?

 

[D5K]

This is crying out for a key change at some point, maybe one at the end of each chorus to let it keep building.

 

[Soldi]

Is this the reason Croatia are now THIRD favourites?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'd let him get that deep tbf.

 

[auretz]

The first semi of this is on right now if anyone's interested:

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I saw Let 3 wheeling out Severina

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I liked this bride-to-be and her FUN FOR 2008 pop ballad. It's probably completly chanceless tho.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

The second semi-final seems to be stacked with the more interesting songs/more favourites to win though. This first semi-final was a near non-event.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Let 3 and Stefany qualify for the Final!

And 6 others.

Bring on Semi-Final 2!

 

[D5K]

There's something good in here somewhere but the backing track is doing a LOT of heavy lifting.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

There was a bit of a screwup as well where they played the wrong ending to one of the songs, instead the rewinding of a song's tape in the last 10 seconds was heard.

Such HOMOSEXUAL SLEEVES

Baby Lasagne

 

[auretz]

Wild that Baby Lasagna is the most competitive thing they’ve had since Marija Magdalena and it wasn’t even initially amongst the 24 chosen finalists

 

[Kala]

I think it's crap, but then I disliked Cha Cha Cha, of which this seems a poor relative.

[Jacques]

Baby Lasagna might be my favourite so far if they go with it.

What's the track record like in Croatia in terms of them fucking things up?

 

[Kala]

Oh he will definitely win. The televote is proportional so even if the jury buries him he’ll sweep the televote Windows95Man style.

The fans who are calling this a Eurovision winner are having a laugh though. It will probably do well on the televote but it’s not going to get much from the juries there either.

 

[auretz]

Running order for tonight:



(also love that Baby Lasagna’s song has been shortened to “rim Tim” on that list )

 

[auretz]

Live from 7:15 UK time if anyone has it in them after last night

 

[Lucille]

San Marino genuinely BROKE ME.

 

[auretz]

I’ve tuned in and I think I have PTSD as I’m expecting him with the piano from San Marino to turn up unbidden at any moment

 

[Kratz]

There's probably the prospect of these Cha Cha Cha knock-offs cancelling each other out also

 

[auretz]

The way the songs are just zipping along

 

[auretz]

I quite like the way Dora has the singer and song name on screen all the way through, like the country at Eurovision

 

[D5K]

What's happened to Boris?

 

[auretz]

Hurrah, a sound failure! It was all going too smoothly

 

[Kratz]

Where's the OUTLET SHOPPING?!

 

[auretz]

Where's the OUTLET SHOPPING?!

Well, it’s sponsored by some sort of soft drink and the winner gets a €5,000 voucher to use in a supermarket

 

[auretz]

Quite the look on this one

 

[D5K]

I think this is a rip off of two songs at the same time?

 

[auretz]

I think this is a rip off of two songs at the same time?

It was very like their Junior Eurovision winner, which I’m annoyed I recognised

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I think this is a rip off of two songs at the same time?

Someone on Twitter described it as a crossover of "Xanadu" and their 2003 Junior Eurovision Entry

 

[auretz]

Never forget that the selection jury thought all of these songs were more competitive than Baby Lasagna
