The more I listen to this, the more I think this is biggest dark horse of the year. The potential this has is crazy, yet no seems to have tapped onto it yet, which really surprises me. I am worried because of the semi it's been placed into. A lot of countries there that are surefire qualifiers, or countries with great track records who you feel will steal places from more deserving entries. If Albania can reach the final though, I wouldn't rule out a place in the top 10, even top 5. There's no other piece this year as bold and awe-inspiring. It builds pretty much perfectly to such a tremendous climax, and i'm just imaging now what it will be like live on stage. The other ballads may be more contemporary, but Albania is the one that has the potential to make jaws drop and deliver a "wow" moment. If they get the staging right here, and the vocals are on point then boom.. watch the slayage!
I've just pushed this into my top 3. I can't stop listening to it.

There are a lot of ballads this year, but none of them really have any intensity or power behind them. This stands out on it's own, and that can only help it. I still think it won't qualify atm, but with the right staging and Lindita showing off her vocals, could be a different picture in May. And if she does make the final, I think she will do a lot better than many think.

Yes please! I was going to report it earlier this morning but just noticed that the report button has been either removed or hidden somewhere in the recent site redesign - do you know if there's still any way to report a post to the mods outside of a direct mention like you've done?

[MENTION=6762]DanielLuis[/MENTION] [MENTION=11243]ZoboCamel[/MENTION] It's now next to Like buttonOnly nobody was online since 4am, so me or Matt or none of Super Mods couldn't react before now
Ah, thanks! Will use that in future. While you're at it, what about the multi-quote feature that previously existed? It used to be next to Reply With Quote and I don't see it now.

As every year, I don´t like the change to the english language. 7 points, because the song is good.

Great vocals from Lindita in Amsterdam. I knew she was a good vocalist, but even then... damn, she nailed that big 20-second note at 2:35.
And she also has time to fix her hair at the same time, now that's what I call a multitasker.

All amazing except one thing ............. That outfit.
I am sorry but singing a power-ballad in a thong really distracts from her song and her amazing voice.
Taste level - questionable
Voice - FRIGGING AMAZING
Song - Blah ..... Not edgy enough to be RONA or funny enough to be ENEDA.
