Croatia '25 is one of the biggest downgrades in the modern Eurovision history going from finishing 2nd to the Final straight to Bottom-3 if not last in the Semi-Final.
'Poison Cake' won Dora '25 in a very unconventional way, winning Juries!!! and finishing 4th in the Public vote, which is never good news for an entry in a Eurovision Semi-Final.
The fact that they opted for a Bambie Thug rip off when they had Baby Lasagna's blueprint still puzzles me!
Marko was shaky at times in Dora as well and I struggle to find something positive to say about this entry.
They might get some points from Slovenia but I doubt there will be someone else to take a bite from their 'Poison Song'...
I hope this year's result to awaken their broadcaster and makensome changes in their jurors selection process...
What do I see in my crystal ball?
Croatia closing their Public vote magnet trilogy, missing qualification and opening a new circle in their Eurovision journey. Will be impressed if they can escape Bottom-3.
Televoting Potential: 6/10
