Croatia, another of these countries sporting a selection modus that seemed to never end, has settled on their entry for Düsseldorf. Daria Kinzer, born in Germany and raised in Austria, will defend the country with "Break A Leg".
Daria Kinzer - Break A Leg (Croatia 2011)
It is a pleasant little low key disco number that will keep you pleasantly entertained for as long as it goes on without disturbing you by building in tension or throw in a key change or anything similar.
Given how the general standard of songs is shaping up for this year's ESC, maybe slightly pleasant will be all you need in the end. At least to score a decent placing.
The biggest question here is really the choice of language. Didn't it somehow sound more relaxed in Croatian?

And was Daria the best choice? Also Jacques Houdek, who has taken part at least half a dozen times in the Croatian selections, sang the song before the viewers had their say. Which version would have been the better choice in the end?

Surely a finalist come May, but then I am not sure how high it will sail in the final ranking. And I still miss the good old days when Croatia felt like winning material most years.
