Tonight, Dora returned to Opatija for the fourth consecutive year to select Croatia’s entry for the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest.
Tonight, 14 entries competed in a one-shot selection to represent Croatia in Turin. The show was hosted by Duško Ćurlić (Actor and radio host), Elizabeta Brodić (Actress) and Franka Batelić (Eurovision 2018).
The running order was as follows:
- Mila Elegović – “Ljubav”
- Mia Negovetić – “Forgive Me”
- Marko Bošnjak – “Moli za nas”
- Jessie – “My Next Mistake”
- Zdenka Kovačiček – “Stay On The Bright Side”
- Tina Vukov – “Hideout”
- Roko Vušković – “Malo kasnije”
- Bernarda – “Here For Love”
- Erik Vidović – “I Found You”
- ToMa – “In The Darkness”
- Elis Lovrić – “No War”
- Ella Orešković – “If You Go Away”
- Tia – “Voli me do neba”
- Mia Dimšić – “Guilty Pleasure”
The results of Dora 2022 were decided by a combination of regional jury voting (50%) and public voting (50%). In case of a tie, the song which got more points from the public vote would be declared the winner. Both the jury vote and televote had a total of 580 points to give to the competing entries in a proportional system (eg. if a song gets 10% of the votes, it will receive 58 points).
