Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2010 2011 2012►

Croatia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with the song "Celebrate" written by Boris Đurđević and Marina Mudrinić. The song was performed by Daria. The Croatian broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) organised the national final Dora 2011 to select the Croatian entry for the 2011 contest in Düsseldorf, Germany. Twenty-four artists competed in the national final which consisted of seven shows: four heats, a quarter-final, a semi-final and a final. Contestants were selected to advance in the competition based on the votes of a public televote. Two contestants qualified to compete in the final on 5 March 2011 where the winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, each finalist performed the three candidate Eurovision songs and one song per finalist advanced to the superfinal following the combination of votes from a three-member judging panel and a public televote. In the superfinal, "Lahor" performed by Daria was selected as the winner based entirely on a public televote. The song was later translated from Croatian to English for the Eurovision Song Contest and was titled "Celebrate".

Croatia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2011. Performing during the show in position 13, "Celebrate" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Croatia placed fifteenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 41 points.

Background

Prior to the 2011 contest, Croatia had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest eighteen times since its first entry in 1993.[1] The nation's best result in the contest was fourth, which it achieved on two occasions: in 1996 with the song "Sveta ljubav" performed by Maja Blagdan and in 1999 with the song "Marija Magdalena" performed by Doris Dragović. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004, Croatia had thus far featured in five finals. In 2010, Croatia failed to qualify to the final with Feminnem and the song "Lako je sve".

The Croatian national broadcaster, Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT), broadcasts the event within Croatia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. HRT confirmed Croatia's participation in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest on 23 October 2010.[2] Since 1993, HRT organised the national final Dora in order to select the Croatian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, a method that was continued for their 2011 participation.[2]

Dora 2011 was the nineteenth edition of the Croatian national selection Dora which selected Croatia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Under the slogan Idemo na Eurosong! (Let's go to Eurovision!), the competition consisted of seven shows between 22 January and 5 March 2011 all taking place at the Studio 10 of HRT in Zagreb, hosted by Aleksandar Kostadinov, Leona Paraminski and Monika Lelas and broadcast on HRT 1 as well as online via the broadcaster's official website hrt.hr.[3] The final was also streamed online via the official Eurovision Song Contest website eurovision.tv.[4]

Format

Dora 2011 consisted of seven shows: four heats, a quarter-final, a semi-final and a final. In each of the first two heats on 22 and 29 January 2011, twelve contestants performed a song of their choice and seven were eliminated from the competition. An additional seven contestants were eliminated in the third heat on 5 February 2011, while three were eliminated in the fourth heat on 12 February 2011 and the top three proceeded to the quarter-final. Two contestants were eliminated in the quarter-final on 19 February 2011, while one was eliminated in the semi-final on 26 February 2011. The results of the first six shows were determined by public televoting, while in the first five shows, one contestant was saved by a weekly public vote among those eliminated to remain in the competition as a wildcard. The remaining two contestants proceeded to the final on 5 March 2011 where they performed their versions of the three songs bidding for Eurovision and the Croatian entry was selected by votes from the public and a judging panel. Ties in the final were decided in favour of the entry that was awarded the most points from the jury.[5][6] Public voting included options for telephone and SMS voting.[7]

Competing entries

Singers being citizens of the Republic of Croatia were able to attend auditions between 9 December 2010 and 11 December 2010.[8] A six-member expert committee consisting of Željen Klašterka (HRT), Branka Muvrin (HRT), Hrid Matić (HRT), Željimir Babogredac (HDU), Zvonimir Bučević (HDU) and Hrvoje Hegedušić (HDS) reviewed the 150 applicants and selected twenty-four contestants for the competition.[9] HRT announced the contestants on 21 December 2010, while the three candidate Eurovision songs to be performed by the finalists of the competition, written by composers invited by HRT: Ante Pecotić, Boris Đurđević and Lea Dekleva, were announced on 28 February 2011.[10][11][12]

Preparation

An English version of "Lahor" entitled "Break a Leg" was also performed by Daria at the final of Dora 2011 following her victory.[22] On 6 March, composer Boris Đurđević revealed that the English lyrics of the song would undergo changes for the Eurovision Song Contest.[23][24] The new version, "Celebrate", premiered on 11 March during the radio programme Sunčani sat broadcast on HR 2 and hosted by Zlatko Turkalj Turki.[25][26] In early March, Daria filmed the music video for "Celebrate", which was directed by Zoran Pezo and the company Blue Film. The music video was presented on 14 March during the HRT news programme Dnevnik.[27][28] French, German and Russian versions of the song were also recorded entitled "C'est la fête", "Diese Nacht" and "Lunnij svjet", respectively.[29]

Promotion

Daria made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "Celebrate" as the Croatian Eurovision entry. On 18 March, Daria performed during the BHT 1 show Konačno petak in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[30] On 15 and 16 April, Daria took part in promotional activities in Malta where she appeared during several programmes on TVM including the talk show Xarabank.[31] On 18 April, Daria performed during the show Bingo i pesma and the morning programme on Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) in Serbia.[32] Daria concluded promotional activities in Slovenia where she appeared in and performed during the TV SLO1 programme Spet doma in Slovenia on 22 April.[33]

At Eurovision

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 17 January 2011, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.[34] Croatia was placed into the first semi-final, to be held on 10 May 2011, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.[35] The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 15 March 2011 and Croatia was set to perform in position 13, following the entry from San Marino and before the entry from Iceland.

The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast in Croatia on HRT 1 with commentary by Duško Ćurlić. The Croatian spokesperson, who announced the Croatian votes during the final, was Nevena Rendeli.

Semi-final

Daria took part in technical rehearsals on 2 and 5 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 9 and 10 May. This included the jury show on 9 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries.

The Croatian performance featured Daria in a short black dress with a gold band in the middle, which changed colours twice to pink and silver. The stage lighting was predominantly blue with Daria performing choreography with a dancer at a DJ deck with silver and purple strands and making use of the stage catwalk.[36][37] Daria was joined on stage by four backing vocalists: Ana Jakšić, Irena Križ, Jasenka Rutar and Katarina Jurić.[38] The dancer was Russian illusionist Sergey Vorontsov, while the choreographer of the Croatian performance was Larisa Lipovac.[38][39]

At the end of the show, Croatia was not announced among the top 10 entries in the second semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Croatia placed fifteenth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 41 points.[40]

Voting

Voting during the three shows consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released shortly after the grand final.

Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Croatia had placed sixteenth with the public televote and fourteenth with the jury vote in the first semi-final. In the public vote, Croatia scored 32 points, while with the jury vote, Croatia scored 49 points.[41]

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Croatia and awarded by Croatia in the first semi-final and grand final of the contest. The nation awarded its 12 points to Serbia in the semi-final and to Slovenia in the final of the contest.
