Croatia

Severina will participate in Athens for Croatia.

The Croatian entry was chosen on 4 March at the Dora competition in the seaside resort of Opatija - the site where the first Dora took place. Severina Vučković was chosen with the song Moja štikla, which is a powerful turbo-folk song with humorous lyrics. The lyrics were written by Severina, and music by Boris Novković (2005 Croatian representative) and Franjo Valentić, and arrangement by popular Bosnian-born musician Goran Bregović. Since Serbia & Montenegro withdrew from the contest this year, Croatia will automaticly be in the final.

Severina was born 21 April 1972 in Split, Croatia. As a child she took part in numerous children festivals and musicals. When she was 17, she recorded her first album Severina for Croatian record company Orfej. In 1991 she started recording for “Tutico” and became one of the greatest stars of Croatian music. She won many festival awards and her albums achieved high sales. She achieved international fame when her home porn video was published on the Internet in 2004. Severina previously attempted to reach Eurovision in 2000.
