The second country to rehearse today was Croatia. Nina Badrić is one of Croatia`s most experienced artists with a career spanning over two decades. Croatian broadcaster HRT were so confident in Nina`s capability, they gave her complete control over the choice of their entry this year.
Backstage, prior to the rehearsal we spoke to Nina and asked her how it felt to finally be at the Eurovision Song Contest after a number of attempts in the past. She replied "It feels great to be at Eurovision for the first time, it`s like a dream came true. I just finished the in ear and microphone rehearsal. We have great people here, they are true professionals we are working with."
Nina also explained how she came to choose the song Nebo to be the Croatian entry saying "I don`t know really, it was in my heart, when I recorded it, it just felt right, it is a personal story within the lyrics, and I felt completely comfortable with it. I was always going to perform the song in English, but at the last minute we changed to Croatian as I feel I can express the story better this way in my own language."
The rehearsal went smoothly, and Nina`s stage experience shone through. The backdrop has a blue sky with clouds exploding. Nina is wearing a black dress and is joined on stage by three female backing singers and two male dancers.
As the last chorus approaches, the male dancers lift a long white cloth and position it behind Nina and the three backing singers, which works effectively on screen as the wind machine blows the sheet.
