Republika Hrvatska

Postcard: drone hovering over a nice field, then a castle by day then a castle by night and Mia superimposed on the wall. Quaint.

First run: she's in a pink dress playing a black guitar with three backing dancers interacting amongst themselves to her right, and looking moody. They're doing this movement routine that I don't quite get but the good news is that it distracts from her patchy vocals. Could be nerves. The backing vocals are clearly pre-recorded and helps give it a much-needed lift at the last bit. 

She's still on audio after it ends so she's saying "something was not right with my in-ear", and she's engaged in a techie discussion with the production. She doesn't seem pleased.

Second run: much better vocally. Oh, I just noticed there are parts in Croatian, was she doing this all along? Overall I thought this was improved, but Mia's still complaining about the audio, and she's now saying the recorded backing vocals aren't in sync. She's also not pleased with the Croatian part of the backing vocals, saying they don't come in at the right part of the song. She seems pretty upset at all this, can't say I blame her. There's some push-back from the production about the placing of the pre-recorded backing saying this is what the delegation asked for. 

Ugh, I really like her 💙

Sun's behavior 🌓: not getting in the way too much, as it does a decent lighting job. I don't get the impression it would have made too much of a difference here. In this song's staging it looks like a giant wall allowing specks of light to peep through so perhaps people won't notice that it's broken.

Qualification: 👎 odds say no and I'm inclined to agree based on this.
