ALBANIA 2011 - Aurela Gaçe - Feel The Passion

[EurovisionSmile]

This is a messy song. It's all that occurs to me saying about Albanian entry this year.

She looks so cool!

 

[Grinch]

They switched it to english? Why?? Albanian version was very nice, I liked it. Pwff...

the video of the english version can be seen here:

Was better in Albanian, but it's still a very good song! Good luck Albania!!

 

[QwaarJet]

It got the oomph it needed, but the orchestra is barely there and this song does NOT benefit from English.

 

[busybee]

I find it strange. Also I liked it better in Albanian.

I usually like Albanain entries, my top favourite was ''It's all about you'' which is still top 10 on my i-tunes even after a year, but this year I really dislike this entry. In Albanian it sounded much better than in English and the video is just too amateurish, but that's less important. However, the singer does have a good voice and that's not to be overlooked.

 

[CPV4931]

The Albanian version was much better.

I'm so so disappointed. This is no longer in my top 10 with this english version, it just sounds so stupid in english! I'm actually annoyed at this lol why change it?! The lyrics fit the rhythm so well in the albanian version, now it just sounds ridiculous. BAD decision Albania

 

[Milos-BC]

^^ Agree. The song is ruined for me now I preferred the original version and in Albanian.

 

[sannerz]

It's better in Albanian, but that video was so awful it made me crack up.

 

[Kryptonite]

I agree! It sounded much better in Albanian... English just doesn't fit the song.

 

[pavarotti]

This forum seems obsessed with fans who keep insisting the song in its original language is better. Must beg to differ - this Albania song is much better for being in English. In my top 10. She has a great voice and it's a powerful ballad.

 

[Matt]

Actually I have to agree with pavarotti, I prefer the English version over the Albanian. It seems they did a pretty good job with the translation just like last year. Although overall I'm not a big fan of the song, just too messy for my taste.

 

[AlekS]

English version is much better

 

[evilperson]

I don't like the new version! I expected more but it seems they made this song even more plain than it was before.

 

[adamsamways]

It's the new lyrics that I can't stand "Let me share me song with you, feel the passion" it's just so bleurgh. I do love her voice though so maybe I'll enjoy the stage performance, I'll just try and ignore what she's singing!

 

[HeadsWillRoll]

It's terrible. I hope it doesn't qualify and they learn a lesson. But it probably will knowing how she's exceptionally good at singing live.

i am disappointed. The albanian version was in my top 5. This one can hardly make it to my top 10.
Please bring back the english version and get rid of the classic rock guitars. What was a great ethnic-rock song now is a boring adult rock song with stupid lyrics...
