I guess no one saw this coming. Tenor Pentti Hietanen has been around 25 years, has sold 3 gold discs and one platinum and sings opera, operetta and poppier music at times but to link him with Eurovision? Interesting choice. He was just singing in the opera choir in Savonlinna Opera festival in 1986 when the leading singer lost his voice and he had to step in. The rest is history....
Croatian TV went for internal selection in the end and chose Nina Badrić. She has been around for almost 20 years and has released ten albums between 1995 and 2011. She has also treid to get to Eurovision four times already without a win (1993, 1994, 1995 and 2003). She is popular also in the other ex-Yogoslavian countries so let those 12s run in.... Listen her here: Moje oci pune ljubavi , Dat ce nam Bog , Nebo and Mama . And lovely Carobno jutro .
