12. November 2007, 11:53
Members of Eurofest Croatia selected song „1 razlog" (1 reason) by Lana Jurcevic to represent Croatia on OGAE Song Contest 2007.
OGAE Greece will organize OGAE SC this year following the last year's victory of Elena Paprizou with "Mambo".
We participate on this year's edition of this contest so we had to choose our representative. The 3 members in competition committee have evaluated applied songs by set of rules for OGAE Song Contest (song needs to be in Croatian language, maximum length 4:30 min, needs to be on a CD published in 2006 or 2007, mustn't be live or unplugged version nor a remake of an existing song, shouldn't be connected in any way to national pre-selection for ESC or ESC itself nor any other OGAE Contest, at least one member of a group - if it's a group - should be citizen of Croatia).
Pursuant to this, some of the applied songs were disqualified (Tose Proeski does't have Croatian citizenship, song "Party" by Patrick Jurdic is in English...). At the end, 14 songs are accepted for Croatian pre-selection for OGAE Song Contest 2007. Here are the songs and final order after voting:

Lana Jurcevic biography
Lana Jurcevic entered the world of music in 2003. The same year she published her first album with symbolic name "LANA". On that album there are 10 numbers, all written by Lana´s exclusive author Milana Vlaovic, who has a lot of experience in music and writing songs (one of her numbers won the Croatian national song contest "Dora"). Lana worked with eminent producers in Croatia, such as Niksa Bratos, Predrag Martinjak - Peggy, Ante Pecotic, Muc Softic, and she sang a duet with Severina, " Rodjena da budem prva".
Lana performs every year at "Radijski festival", and almost always gets to the finals. In 2005 she won the prize for the most interesting media person. She is very successful at Dora every year and she is building her career with great passion.
Numbers like "Odlazis" (You are leaving), "Otkad te nema" (Since you were gone), "Najbolja glumica" (The best actress), " Ovo nije istina" (This isn't true), "Prava ljubav" (Real love - duet with Luka Nizetic) opened the doors to her second album "Jedan razlog" (One Reason) - published by Hit Records and named by the song from the same album, produced by Boris Djurdevic from Croatian band "Colonia".
Music and everything about the music is the most important part of Lana´s life. She lives for performing and giving her own concerts. She is popular not only in Croatian, but also in Slovenia, Macedonia, and other ex-Yugoslavian countries.
Besides all this, Lana is also studying journalism at the faculty of political science in Zagreb.
