Return of Nera

Unlike the other Story Supernova Music Talents finalists, Nera Stipičević (Nera Stipicevic) spent last few months far from public spotlight. Saša Lozar (Sasa Lozar), Tin Samardžić (Tin Samardzic) and Damir Kedžo (Damir Kedzo) had their 365 song as part of Scream 3 publicity campaign, Rafael Dropulić (Rafael Dropulic) entertained the critics with his autobiographic song Ja sam Rafo (although the video wasn't something to write home about), while Natalie Dizdar had few festival gigs.

After unsuccessful bid to get much-coveted role in Croatian stage version of Chicago, Nera spent months trying to relaunch her career, this time as genuine pop star. The results of such efforts – videoclip of the song Centar svita - can be seen at Nova TV.

I'm not impressed. In the clip Nera shows that can sing and dance, but the quality of music and lyrics is simply below her standards. What was supposed to be genuine article is going to be turned into clone of Severina Vučković (Severina Vuckovic). And it could be argued that this country is too small for two Severinas.
