Review of Dora
2003
First semifinal
Second semifinal
Final
This year's Dora returns to Opatija, its venue throughout the 1990s. There
will be two semi-finals of 12 songs, and the top six from each semi-final will
go through to the final on the third night. This year the songs were
entirely chosen by televoting, from five regions: Slavonia, Dalmatia, Istria/Kvarner/Lika,
Northeastern Croatia and Central Croatia (including Zagreb).
First semi-final, 7 March. The top six go through to
the final: Šuput, Claudia, Blagdan, Tina i Nikša, punk band Kavasaki 3P and
Vitasovic. Istrian singer Alen Vitasovic scraped through to the final on the
countback rule, relying on the 11 points he was awarded by his home region -
Jelena Radan has a right to feel disappointed.
The interval act was provided by Vanna, winner in 2001.
