Classic Boys - the best pop opera act of the NF. Sorry guys but my heart is taken by Moldovan hunks Brio Sonores. I wouldn't mind the guy on the left though
Linda Rukaj -
Lindita Halimi - queen Lindita screwed the beginning but still delivered in the end. I expected something better than that from her.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
Now that we've seen every performance, I think the contenders are Flaka, Lynx, Tiri, Lindita, Dilan, Rezarta and Xhejni. I think Dilan will win.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
Lindita was disappointing as I feared, Rezarta was super disappointing. My life is over. I was so hyped for those two. I'll give their songs more time though, but I should have been slayed on the first listen.
The song of the night for me was "Vija e lumit" by Linda Rukaj and her giant cello. It didn't destroy my body but it was something really unique and beautiful. I worry about it not working in a competitive environment though. It's just not that kind of song, but it would be another brave choice from Albania if they were to go with it.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
I must say this semi was miles...no, light years better than the first one.
Fun, catchy, versatile songs, i liked pretty much everything but the two dreadful opera acts - the first guy and 2 members of Il Volo + Axel Hirsoux. The rest vary from "Ok" to "Awesome!"
Well done, Albania.
There's only one question...WILL WE EVER HEAR THE STUDIO VERSIONS??? xboring

Re: ALBANIA 2017
This looks like a case of them pushing Lindita with a song that isnt quite good enough.Take the risk and change the song again?.Maybe,but that always leaves a bad taste.Dilan might go close as well.Yll Limani will also be dangerous with a televote added.So Lindita,Dilan,Yll for me the top three.Im not saying they are the best,just the most likely challengers in a very tough year to call.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
Hunty73 hit the nail on the head: I think they think Lindita has a winner on her hands, as well, judging by the running order position and the pointed mention of American Idol when she was eliminated at the round of ~100. But as always, there could be some intranational force that none of us are privy to that'll determine the winner.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
I think Linda Rukaj's song was the worst recieved of any song on the show. Her vocals were poor as well.
As for Lindita, you need to stop hyping yourself help for specific singers. The songs will be different and not always to your tastes. I thought Lindita's song was excellent tonight. But it was a different genre. Rezarta's was a little bland, but fine.
What did you think of Dilan? I'm pretty sure he'll be the winner tomorrow.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
The winner is obviously my favourite, Genc Salihu
Sending Lindita or Rezarta this year would be a waste, unless they change the song, which as Hunty points out, leaves a bad taste. The winner is indeed quite hard to predict this year (in fact, it always usually is). I think Xhesika Polo might be a dark horse here if she reaches the final and can recover from whatever it was she was battling the first time she performed. If she performed that well when visibly sick, i'm just imaging in my head what she'll be capable of when she's 100%. I'd like her to win, as I won't get Genc or Linda, and I want Lindita or Rezarta only when they're at their very best.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
Well with Rezarta the hype was justified as I adored her previous four Fik songs and her Kenga Magjike song. The hype wasn't for nothing. With Lindita I was excited but always skeptical, thinking the chances of her coming back with a song like this were high.
I think I missed Dilan's performance as my stream was playing up and I was trying to fix it. I'll have to go back and watch it. I think I did hear parts of it though.

Re: ALBANIA 2017
I imagine if Lindita or Rezarta won you would still be happy. If one of your favourite artists makes it to Eurovision, you take it, because there is no guarantee it will happen in the future. Bear in mind both Lindita and Rezarta have sent better songs than this year and still haven't won. And I'm sure a revamp and language switch would benefit Lindita tremendously, as I imagine the song was made for that.
