Albania ALBANIA 2024 - Besa - Titan

This are a couple of songs in one and nothing really clicks with me tbh. It's quite middle of the road and just.. fine. Not a clear qualifier in my ears.
She doesn't accentuate her boobs at all so that probably won't deliver her any voters ofcourse

haha yeah it feels like a mix of multiple songs. I hope that if they revamp it they'll choose only one or two songs so that it's not such a mess

Last night was so shocking. It took me almost a day and two pills of Lorazepam to recover.
Me and some friends here, that followed FIK live, were speechless after those results. It was difficult to understand what was happening. The most horrific song won the prize.
About Besa and Zemren n'dore I gave a 4. It was out of my radar. I would say without infamy and without praise.

I hope Albanian national broadcaster gets some bravery to select Elsa Lila internally and send that woman to ESC 2025 regardless of FiK. Yes, her song this year was not at the same level as Evita, but I truly believe such a voice could make something huge in Eurovision one day.

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

The song is a bastard of Sanremo and Eurovision 2010.

It's actually not that bad as most of the disillusioned by the fact there were other, potentionally better entries, claim. I don't see the same dismay when it comes to practically the same Sanremo entries we've been served for years now.

Also, if we consider this a ballad, it's more engaging than Slimane's Mon amour.

Would I vote for such song? No.

Would I listen to it? Due to her voice colour I have no preference for, which is a sound coming mainly from the throat and mixed a bit nasally, I wouldn't.

The revamp will most likely be more piano, more violins, with a sprinkle of traditional Albanian music in the intro and the bridge.

Points awarded: 7 and no vote.

 

[Mainshow]

I listened to the studio version and it is still only points from me.

I don't think that this entry is engaging, compelling or interesting at all.
It's a half-baked idea, imo. It's neither a dramatic ethno ballad nor a contemporary one. Her voice isn't my cup of tea either and I still heavily dislike the spoken part.

I just hope they will decide to improve the overall composition by deciding to follow one route because right now, the overall song is indeed a mixture of 2 different ones like @ESC94 and @0scar pointed out.

I must be the only one who really really loves the Song. I am a huge fan of her vocal tone and Besa has a great stage presence that somewhat really catches me.

I realise that the ESC bubble isn’t having it with this song at all. I love the harmony, I love the power and the chorus seriously sticks in my head. I might be one of the few people that will give this a 12 but I’ll gladly do so. Because I simply love it.

Elvana very happy to see Besa going to ESC next year.

It seems that „beba“ has officially entered the eurovision-dictionnary and is here to stay.

 

[gingerale]

An Albanian entry I instantly liked and even remembered after just one listen? It's a Christmas miracle.

early from me

I love how fik songs are so twistful, you never know what to expect. an opera ballad can turn into punk rock in the middle of the song.

and here, the rap part left me gagged for breath.
she ate hard, I see no crumbs in sight.

p.s please don't change the outfit!!

 

[HarryUK]

Not my favourite Albanian entry ever but I feel this may grow on me an awful lot!

 

[Marcos C]

There is a strong possibility that the song will be performed at least partially in English at ESC 2024.

The greatest music festival in Albania, the Festivali i Këngës, was completed a few days ago, with Besa Kokëdhima, being the new representative of the country in Eurovision! Besa, won the public vote, and thus the Albanian representation in Eurovision, with the song “Zemrën n’dorë”, however, it...

Btw, it's a entry: a middle of the road entry for a middle of the road result. This screams 21st-25th place in an Eurovision Grand Finale.
