Croatia: Igor and Andrea recorded videoclip

The Croatian representatives Igor Cukrov and Andrea Susnjara recorded the videoclip for their 2009 Eurovision Song Contest entry Lijepa Tena (Beautiful Tena) yesterday.

While Croatian Eurovision Song Contest fans are still discussing their performance at Dora, the Croatian representatives Igor Cukrov and Andrea Susnjara are not losing any time – esctoday.com's partner website eurovision-croatia.com have found them in Tuna Studio in Zagreb making a video for Lijepa Tena. The recording started in the early morning and ended in the late evening hours, but Igor and Andrea showed no signs of tiredness or boredom; they were happy and excited and listened very carefully to every word of Davor Flam and Zoran Pezo, directors of the video. Luckily, they have managed to find few free moments for a statement.

Igor Cukrov: “Victory at Dora came as a surprise to me, I was totally confused after it happened, but now I’m getting aware of everything and I’m enjoying in making this video. The video follows the story: I’m singing my song to Tena, who is an ideal woman. It involves even Andrea and our backing vocals: Sanja, Ivana, Jelena and Karmen. I hope both Croatian and European audience will like it. We have already started with preparations for our Moscow performance and we hope to make a good result in Russia. There will definitively be a special choreography, and our stylist Viktor Drago is helping us a lot with the costumes. I would like to wish all the best to eurovision-croatia.com’s readers and Eurovision fans and tell everyone to watch the Eurovision and support Croatia!”

Andrea Susnjara: “Victory at Dora is still in my thoughts and as the Eurovision Song Contest is approaching, I’m becoming more and more excited about it! We practice a lot and have many obligations: photo-shootings, performance practicing… In video that is being made right now my role is to play Tena, a woman Igor is dying for. We have performed in Belgrade, during Beovizija semi final, and the reactions were great. But no, we will not go anywhere else, I think it doesn’t make a difference – the performance on Eurovision is what counts. There’s also a new version of the song; we added some instruments and made some changes, I like it a lot! I’ve seen we have the worst chances for winning on some polls, but I don’t care, last place is fine if you ask me (laugh). I would like to say a big 'THANK YOU' to eurovision-croatia.com’s readers and Eurovision fans who have helped us a lot before Dora and are doing a great job still now. Thank you for believing in us, we will not disappoint you! Cheers!"

Pictures from the shooting can be seen here.

At the same time, they presented the Eurovision version of Lijepa Tena which can be heard here (first you need to register).

But sadly, I won't be able to vote for it, because we're not in the same semi.

@Vatroslav

Thank you for the link, I like the new version much better. This song is so romantic and sad.

Croatia; always romantic, always mistic, always magical, but this time the only thing that bothers me is the vocals, but I still love it. Anyway, congrats and good luck fm Turkiye

most of esc songs are gorgetable. one of them is montenegro's song and some bets put that song in top 5. NO WAY

Croatia has a good song this year, but there are better ballads. The problem of this entry, in my opinion, is that it is completely forgettable.

I have to apologise to Croatia..among all the songs, I had totally forgotten this one..and yet, it's a good song, a very nostalgic feeling to it.
Good luck, Croatia :D

although this song is 30th of 42 in ESCtoday poll, and last in some bet-polls, i am SURE that this song will be on very good position!

SRETNO NAŠI!

In my opinion, one of the best entries Croatia has sent ever, along with "Neka mi ne svane" and "Marija Magdalena".

the final version sounds quite nice, as long as igor doesnt scream on stage!
it sounds a bit more melodic, etc. very nice. tho, its just missing somethiing to give it a bit more ommmff!
still...nice, and better than the bad quality songs croatia sent in the past 2 yrs of 07 and 08

I loved every croatian entry in the from 2000 to 2006... Since then, I think croatian entries are very weak.

@ Melina
that's throughout almost all countries in Europe.
in NL & Belgium as well

Ahh, finally I found out what this "Tena" means... :)

The name seemed quite funny because in Finland (maybe elsewhere as well) it's a brand name of incontinence pads... ;)
