Albania ALBANIA 2019 - Jonida Maliqi - Ktheju tokës

[Leydan]

Oh this is a great revamp. Albania are really on point this year. I imagine the juries wont show it huge love, but I think the televote will show enough.

 

[GlamSIMorous]

The studio version has a very live quality to it. I think I prefer the older version, instrumental wise the revamp. It adds so much more to it. And I really would love Jonida to sing in the rain, that'd be splendid. The music video touches me, and if they can translate that on stage, welcome to the final. Albania never got out of my Top 10 this year.

 

[KingJulian]

Oh yes! x12s
Fantastic revamp and one of the best music videos this year, not my winner but will stay in my Top 10 for sure

 

[Schlagerman1]

The vid that got uploaded had a very bad quality...but I can really feel the improvement though in this! Wow, so much better, this is what I needed from Albania! Great job!

 

[mauve]

OMG … will upgrade from 10 to 12 … how gorgeous … Wonderful revamp!!!!

 

[Yoozek]

Funny how the quality of the audio in their national TV is similar to the sneak peek we had that was recorded in a car.

Anyways, there should be an official video on esc channel really soon

They didn't wreck it thankfully, although what is it with revamps and hating drums? So much of the drum power has been removed, which impacts the chorus.

However, my 10 stays for not destroying this fantastic entry.

 

[DaFlo]

Hmmm not blown away by the revamp. It's alright.

I will keep my 6 points

 

[Soul]

Wow

 

[GlamSIMorous]

Wow ... Albania is bombing the betting odds and shortened from 300 I believe to 75. Fantastic. I think I will root for her the most in the semi final 2. I dont want this song to get lost.

I liked the original version more (I miss the piano :'( ) but regardless, the revamp is quasi the same anyway, so I'm satisfied. Slay Queen!

 

[Mrm]

After that Revamp it is even worse for me and it was already bad!
They polished it and in a very bad way..it lost some elements I actually liked..
OMG rain..will she do Wiktoria on the stage?! that is ridiculous..
And that outfit is bloody awful..
I cant describe how I miss my Eugent Bushpepa…

It stays very thin 2 for me..i should probably downgrade to 1..but I will keep that fragile 2..

Oh and now when I hear it in better quality, once again, well done Albania!
This might jump about 20 places in my ranking, so much more exciting, ethnic but still contemporary and has a slight rock touch to it that I really like.
And the eagle at the end, "To be continued at Eurovision Song Contest 2019" is slightly creepy, but love it as well, seeing that this is a song that is directed to the Albanians in Europe and Australia. So yeah, Albania is back in the game for a place in the final, definitely!

Albania is my dark horse this year. I am ready for beautiful Tirana 2020.

 

[anto475]

Well done Albania on what seems to be only your second successful post-FiK revamp!!!

 

[FilipeGolias]

QUEEN JONIDA! What a slayage!

 

[Zonne147]

Keeping my first place ofc

 

[Romeo]

I think that this will either do really well in the final or stay in the semi. I think it's really good! Powerful and with the right staging It could make the final and do well
