Shkodra Elektronike, Orgesa, Alis, Jet und Mal for me!

Please send this to WorldVision. Would give my 12 points.

The sporadic piano music does make it technically a song

My top 5 of the night : 1. Lorenc Hasrama 2. Allis 3. Shkodra Elektronikë 4. Elvana Gjata 5. Gjergj Kaçinari

Mine is quite similar actually. I don't have a favorite, to be honest. If I were to choose one, I'd say it's Allis. He has great vocals and I really like his song. It's atmospheric and the performance is very creative. Elvana would be second and then Shkodra Elektronike and Lorenc. All of them are on a very similar level though, in my opinion.

Ronela Hajati is supporting Ardit Cuni this edition.

I do, in addition to Zjerm, enjoy many other songs including Larb Salad

That recap does Zjerm so dirty. I love the spoken word part but of all the bits to show a clip of to get people to vote, that was not it.

 

[MopManMoss]

I cannot believe the recap clip for zjerm, if the acts don't get to choose what part of their performance is shown like delegations do at Eurovision this is just active sabotage by rtsh

 

[Seregil Korit]

That recap clip choice is baffling...

 

[Looren]

I fear that that recap choice might hurt Zjerm...

 

[goncalovieira]

What time are they finishing the show?

the bigger problem is all those clips from the recap are from the semifinals.

 

[RainyWoods]

My top 5:

1. Shkodra Elektronike - Zjerm = 10/10
2. Ardit Çuni - Amane = 9/10
3. Gjergj Kaçinari - Larg jetës pa ty = 8.5/10
4. Djemtë e Detit - Larg = 8/10
5. Mal Retkoceri - Antihero = 8/10

With a special mention to Lorenc, Alis and Vesa who I thought were good too.

I don't :-)

The audience reception makes it very clear Zjerm and Karnaval are the top 2 in the televote, and 50% of the votes are decided via jury.

I *vastly* prefer Zjerm myself, and several others over Karnaval, but I would be okay with Karnaval too if push came to shove. Elvana will translate it in English and it will become Solo by Blanka and get Albania's usual 19th-22nd spot.

There are worse things in life.

 

[Looren]

Wait results now ?

 

[Looren]

Wait results now ?

Ah no it's just that voting closed

 

[lavieenrose]

Wait...what's happening?

 

[Ringdalen]

Are they handing out christmas presents?

 

[RainyWoods]

I hope these are just special prizes for being iconic and they're not awarding the 3rd and 2nd places with trophies without us realising.

 

[BorisBubbles]

they're handing out awards. SE got one (apparently the critics's award?), Vesa won lyrics, orgesa won staging?

Something according to those lines.

 

[lavieenrose]

Is she gonna sing? What a treat that would be while we're all waiting.
