Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

  Mia Dimšić (29) is another last Saturday's surprise winner. At least for some. The fandom was supporting other Mia. She sung last and showed she's better than the rest with Guilty pleasure .

He started with - you guessed it - talent shows and really made it after winning the Croatian version of Your Face Sounds Familiar . The young Damir wanted to become a gyneologist and has been through a jaw operation as he couldn't  speak or eat normally.
