Denis Dumancic is back in any case, he wrote a semifinal song. As far as I know the one from Teska Industrija.
@Vladimir P
Oh, too bad Franka is back, but yeeeeey if it's true that Denis Dumancic is back! 
I have just read a Croatian online newspaper Jutarnji list and it turns that these songs are the semifinalists. There are also eight direct finalists and those are: Franka Batelic, Djani Stipanicev, Sabrina, Viktorija Kulis, Denis Dumancic, Ziga & Bandisti and the groups Viva and Alibi.
And who cares about well known names? An unknown can still have a good song and win. 
Remember this is the semi final, there will be more invited artists already in the final which probably means more known names.
Ohhh and BTW,
is Seid Memić-Vajta still the singer for Teška industrija??? Is it the Bosnian band they mean on this list or is it another band with the same name??? Because if so, that is very promising to me as I like him and the band. I hope their song is upbeat and catchy! I like his voice. He represented Yugoslavia in 1981 with the song "Lejla". I loved that song!
CROATIA rules! But they need to correct their mistake, it is not possible to add Čager Zoc on a back-up list.
OHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! !!!!!!!
Čager Zoc is only a BACK-UP??????? AND NUMBER 2???? OMG!
And with a title as cool as "Cool Koko" it is bound to be a classic! SOMEBODY MUST WITHDRAW OR BREAK A LEG - LITERALLY! He needs to be in the final! Kraljevi Ulice also! And Feminnem would be a good swap. Get them outta there and bring forth the RITAM MASTER OF HRVATSKA!!!! 
RITAM!!!
@ Morgan S. Trouillet
I think totally the oposite, coz I'm from serbia and I know many Croatian singers, but on this list I also know only Feminem, and that's shocking!! 
Those singers are amateurs and don't expect anuything special, I'm sad hat Croatian and now Serbian good singers are not interested in ESC at all! 
So, I only hope Feminem will have nice song, coz Femnem is only good and quality, professional participant here! Unfortunately!
Feminem are terrible I hope it won't be them again.. but many new names definitely do make us hopeful
Well, most of the names are not known. That may be a good thing for Croatia. After Croatia 09, Croatia 10 has a lot to do to maintain the same level.
Well some of those names sound promising....some of them are "the new hopes" however but why not to listen them all first, and then bring the final opinion....? I hope for one good and quality DORA 
!
Learning how to sing. Then she can come back to Dora and not let Ivana Cabraja in the background sing her song.
where is franka batalic??? ((
Lyrics of Giulianos song have been written by a former ESC participant from Croatia... wait and see!
The most of the artists are unknown to me but this is just a semi final. i hope it will be more interesting in the final.
I think, Croatia needs more diaspora actually no strong songs from there either 
feminnem for croatia
Feminnem and Guilano are the most popular on that list but Klapa Iskon will be in top 10 for sure cause it's in and older people will vote for them.
Franka Batelic said she won't sing because she was participating in show dancing with stars so she has many school obligations, but you never know with her... I hope other artists will be more popular and have more than average song as usually.
But Dora is just a show and people are going there for their own promotion, noone really care for Eurovision
Being from Croatia and not recognizing 90% artists is definitely not a good sign
"Back-up acts:
1. Kraljevi Ulice: Kad se smiješ ti"
OH DEAR GOD nobody drop out please! 
Eh anyway, I don't recognise any of the names but good to Croatia
This list does not look very promising. Except for Feminnem, all other names are far from strong. What's with Franka Batelic, Ana Bebic, Danijela Pintaric and Ivo Gamulin?
12. Izvođač nepoznat: Sada osjećam to
-that means Unknown artist - Sada osjećam to
Don't know most the line up so i shall support Feminnem until then
The only good thing is that Kraljevi Ulice and Cager Zoc are just back-up acts this time
And, I find quite boring to see Feminnem at their xy attempt at Dora.
Hm, it doesn't look very promising at first glance, I've never heard of at least a half of the performers listed.
