Albania ALBANIA 2018 - Eugent Bushpepa - Mall

[leelook]

So Albania is sending one of the best vocalists this year (and maybe the hottest guy...) and for once we're not getting a pointless switch to English! A nice and uplifting song that blows the other rock ballad this year (Romania) out of the water. It's Albania's best entry in quite a few years but unfortunately with the tough draw I don't think it will leave enough of an impression on people to qualify, it feels like a song that many people will like but few people will consider their favorite at the end of the night. I predict a similar result to last year, not in the bottom but not that close to sneaking through either, placing in the 12-14 range. Of course I hope I'm wrong and from me it gets points

Live performance from The Voice Kids a couple of days ago.

Agree! Live his voice really kills. Wonderful, hits the notes and just sounds amazing.

I watched a video of his EiC performance uploaded by Eurovision Albania and hell yes I loved it, and his notes and everything. I love it when music makes me feel happy. He might not win, hell, he might not even qualify in order to win, but he already won my heart

Please qualify

His singing yesterday in Amsterdam was superb, astonishing, amazing ... as always. He can sing! Getting goosebumps.

I was at EIC last night and he absolutely killed it, easily the best vocalist this year

Great to hear that! xrockout

He is one of the best vocalists but still chances for qualification are very low! So sad!

 

[PeterLPZ]

For sure a good singer. But I´m not so sure, that this song will qualify. 7 points.

I can't stop hearing David Cook's "Time of my life" in the chorus. The voice is similar to David's too.

Ok after Eugents live performances, especially the one from the Voice, I'm re-gaining my hopes for this song!
Absolutely perfect vocals, it almost comes close to 'Kuula', one of my all-time favourite entries.
Maybe it can reach a similar result too, but I guess I'm asking too much

His song is going up with the betting odds, but still not enough to qualify - However, I think he'll do a great job and it will help him qualify, at least. Not everyone can perfom live as he can

 

[Gentleman]

his best perfomance.

 

[mauve]

He sounds great as always!

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

While I think the song gets swamped by the bigger entries, I really like this one - I wouldn't have expected to still be liking it at this stage (usually Albania benefits early on due to early selection lol). He is easily one of the strongest live performers this year - if not the strongest - I would be so surprised if Albania doesn't get right into the final tbh!

I am upgrading to 7 points - his voice though is worthy of a 12.

 

[Rowenna]

Good luck with rehearsals tomorrow

"Albania's Eugent Bushpepa rocks the stage at first rehearsal" This is the title at eurovision.tv "Third up on stage today was Albanian hopeful Eugent Bushpepa, performing 'Mall', accompanied by his band and two backing singers."
