Excuse me, why did no one warn me about "Peng."

Re: ALBANIA 2019
Just looked over some of the performances of my favourites and they're pretty much all good
My top three are unchanged from before the live performances - i.e. Aurel Thellimi, Mirud and Jonida Maliqi, in no particular order. Any of them would be a great pick for Eurovision (and there are about another five I like on top of that, which is great for an Albanian NF).
Can you just send all three to Eurovision please, Albania?

Elona Islamaj - "Në këtë botë kalimtare"...whata quality, whata good composition...
xhearat
I have just checked “Leyla”, and I’m not disappointed with it at all, like majority is…Imbro is better IMO, Marko Strazimiri had a problem at the beginning..
Imbro’s part reminds me of Turkish singing..Albanian sounds like Turkish in this song IMO!

I'm so out of the game that I didn't realize Fik started last night. I feel ashamed of myself
Have just been catching up though and Artemisa & Febi were absolutely glorious. They're by some clear distance my favourite now. What the orchestra did with their song was stunning. I got goosebumps as those strings started soaring during the second pre-chorus. I find the studio version of the song quite sad and bittersweet. That longing is still there but now it's flying so high during each chorus that it just makes you feel good, even with it's one simple but weighty sentence in English "eh oh life is going fast" there trying to pull you back down again. The whole thing is poignant, powerful and beautiful. It sounds humongous now. I love it so much.

Re: ALBANIA 2019
I think this might be between Mirud and Jonida as the main players for the win.Both have the ability to swing the jury their way with their songs and performance.However there are other players due to the high standard.Everything about Artemisa's performance amazes me.What a brilliant delivery from a very talented young woman.The strings and her voice in the chorus are gosh.The refrain is just wonderful with those slicing violins cutting right across the melody.Superb.
I also really like Lorela.She seems to of decided to just go for it and it really works.The crazy explosion of noise towards the end is insane.The orchestra going 100 miles an hour to keep up.
This really is a fantastic Fik.Im getting the drinks down me early tonight and really looking forward to the different versions.I hope Artemisa gets the final and im emotional before the darn thing even starts.

I see Albanian TV follows the same schedule as Italian.
