Quite simply the most incredible first twelve seconds of a Eurovision contending song that we can ever remember seeing.
The rest of it - not so much. Although it certainly has its moments now and again.
Miss Kovačićek here is a massive and historical name in Croatian rock, blues and jazz singing, so we shouldn't be dismissive here, especially as at 76 years of age she'll have put those pipes through quite a battering over her long and glittering career. And to be fair we just couldn't keep our eyes off her from start to finish, as we really didn't know what she was likely to do next. Not a great song, but a fabulous performance, and one that made us hanker for a much earlier appearance from this doyen of Croatian alternative music.
But those first twelve seconds - oh boy!
