Croatia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 with the song "Kad zaspu anđeli" written by Nenad Ninčević and Zdenko Runjić. The song was performed by Goran Karan. The Croatian broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) organised the national final Dora 2000 to select the Croatian entry for the 2000 contest in Stockholm, Sweden. Twenty-six entries competed in the national final on 19 February 2000 and "Ostani" performed by Goran Karan was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from 20 regional juries and a public televote. The song was later retitled as "Kad zaspu anđeli".
Croatia competed in the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 13 May 2000. Performing during the show in position 17, Croatia placed ninth out of the 24 participating countries, scoring 70 points.
Background
[edit]Prior to the 2000 Contest, Croatia had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest seven 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.
The Croatian national broadcaster, Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT), broadcasts the event within Croatia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. Between 1993 and 1999, HRT organised the national final Dora in order to select the Croatian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, a method that continued for their 2000 participation.
Before Eurovision
[edit]Dora 2000
[edit]Dora 2000 was the eighth edition of the Croatian national selection Dora which selected Croatia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2000. The competition consisted of twenty entries competing in one final on 19 February 2000 at the Hotel Kvarner in Opatija, hosted by Vlatka Pokos and Marko Rašica.[2] The show was broadcast on HTV1 and via radio on HR 2 as well as online via the broadcaster's website hrt.hr.[3][4]
Competing entries
[edit]320 entries were received by HRT which previously opened a submission period for artists and composers to submit their entries to the broadcaster. A nine-member expert committee consisting of Ksenija Urličić, Ljudevit Grgurić, Mario Bogliuni, Hrvoje Hegedušić, Ante Batinović, Željko Mesar, Ljubo Karamatić, Duško Knežević and Jasna Ceković reviewed the received submissions and selected twenty-six artists and songs for the competition.[3] Among the artists were Putokazi which represented Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 as Put with different group members, and Cronika which represented Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 as Magazin with a different lead singer.[5]
Final
[edit]The final took place on 19 February 2000. The winner, "Ostani" performed by Goran Karan, was determined by a combination of votes from 20 regional juries and a public televote which acted as a 21st jury.[6] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, Davor Radolfi and Ritmo Loco as well as 1986 Yugoslav Eurovision entrant and 1999 Croatian Eurovision entrant Doris Dragović performed as the interval acts during the show.[2]
