The Audience Has Spoken
Mario Lipovšek Battifiaca, the "eternal second" became MIK 2008 undisputable, invincible, first, with a song that touches hearts at home and aborad. "Prihajan doma" (I am coming home) resembles in theme one of Mario's all time favorites, "Del tebe", which he likes to sing with the audience at popular Primorska noć concerts (you can find the video spot on youtube.com). Mario captured the lead on Day 2 of the festival and held it to the end. Mario clinched the top position Gina 2007 style before the final concert in Rijeka.
Also well deserved is the 2nd place for Vivien Galletta (with Voljen Grbac). Vivien is known for singing sentimental ballades, in a beautiful voice, but difficult to "get into the ear of the audience" on first listening.
Third place went to Klapa Sol and the song Labain. Klapa Sol, in its first MIK appearance also helped Mario Battifiaca and Đani Maršan win first and sixth place respectively.
Fourth place is shared (same total points, small difference in votes) between Quarner's sweethearts, Karin Kuljanić & Gina Picinić, and sixth between the "dynamic duo" made of Neno Pavinčić and Robert Manestar, and MIK veteran Đani Maršan.
