Dorotea Budimir (née Dragović; born 16 April 1961),[1] better known as Doris Dragović (pronounced [dôːris drâːɡoʋitɕ]) or simply Doris, is a Croatian singer who has represented Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1986 with the song "Željo moja", finishing 11th with 49 points, and Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 with the song "Marija Magdalena", finishing fourth with 118 points.
Career
Dorotea Dragović was born in Split, Croatia, then part of Yugoslavia, and had an interest in singing since her childhood.[1] She cites Arsen Dedić, Gabi Novak and Tereza Kesovija as her biggest influences and childhood idols.[1] She came to regional prominence in the early 1980s as a member of musical group More, and began her solo career in 1986.[1] The same year, she represented Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1986 in Bergen with the song "Željo moja", and finished the 11th with 49 points.[2] Dragović has since been one of the most famous pop singers in Yugoslavia, later Croatia and its region.[3][4][5]
In 1999 Dragović was chosen to represent Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999, after she won national election HRT Dora with her dramatic song "Marija Magdalena", written by prominent Croatian songwriter Tonči Huljić.[6] Dragović placed a respectable fourth in Jerusalem, despite having been drawn early in the singing order, sometimes cited as a disadvantage. Her performance also included the removal of some of her clothing – seen jocularly as a staple of Eurovision performances – and was well received in the first contest in which most countries allocated their points after a public telephone vote. This remains one of Croatia's best results at the contest. "Marija Magdalena" was also a radio hit on Greek radio station FLY FM 89,7 and reached number one on its airplay.
Personal life
Dragović was known in the early 1980s for her work with bands from Split. One of her best known singles "Hajde da se mazimo" was one of the most interesting pop songs of the decade called the "golden eighties". She is a known supporter of Torcida, fans of Hajduk Split football club.[3][5] In 2001, Dragović received threats from Torcida supporters after she sang to Montenegrin prime minister Milo Đukanović at the 2000 New Year's Even party.[3]
Since 1990, Dragović is married to a former water polo player, Mario Budimir,[1][7] with whom she has a son named Borna (b. 1990).[1]
