Beautiful scenery

Some countries never bother making a music video to promote their song internationally. Others put a lot of money and effort into a beautiful setting and a story that interact with the mood of the music and lyrics. To have a whole package is often an advantage when people see and hear the previews for the very first time. This is something the ex-Yugoslav countries are very good at. My absolute favourite preview video is "Nostalgija", Croatia's entry 1995. Unfortunately it is nowhere to be found on YouTube. Instead I have listed some other favourites of mine in no specific order. Watch them and vote for yourself in our poll!

Nina's Top 10 Eurovision Previews where sound and picture are in perfect harmony:
