Ιt reminds me a little bit Finland 2012,and that's not a very good sign for the song i suppose.

It's a waltz! Last year we saw it in Birds and parts of Crisalide. Attempts to pop it up further would be very interesting to see as the format is so unusual. The song lacks a clear refrain though and tends to build up but never really release. Nevertheless I like it a lot and the singer feels solid, so I expect another Albanian triumph in ESC 2014.

Not sure what to think......her voice is quite good...hate the beginning bit though. No idea what it's about but nice to hear something in mother tongue. A 2 so far...

Yeah, it's definitely not the new Suus but in my opinion, it's quite a strong song, even without a refrain :p I really expect this to grow on me.

However, Albanian revamps often change a lot, so we all should probably just wait :)

My favourite so far. Please, keep the language. Better in Albanian, I'm sure.

I REALLY, REALLY, REAAAAALLY hope that Albania will get a good draw!
I think this song will be forgotten if Albania will perform in the first half of a semifinal, i really beg to God, that Albania will perform in the second half!
Then the jury and televoters will help Albania to the final!

wow, that was a lot "Albania" words.. :al: #AlbaniaPower2014

The draw is terrible xdoh

But I do believe the song is good enough and vocally Herciana is strong enough to get some attention, either jury or televote, and Albania will pass to the final xcheer

The song is great. Imagine it with the arrangements. Albania is expert when it comes to introducing arrangements to the song. For that, I'm sure that Albania won't disappoint us...

I don't think so. She has a great voice, but the song doesn't need arrangement. It needs to be rebuilt cause it's messy and looks like you're listening to several songs in 3 minutes. I don't think juries and, especially, public are falling for this, even more in such a difficult semi.

I agree with what you said but the song is getting a revamp so it will be corrected ;). What they have now is more then promising enough to predict a qualification for now but of course that can change when we hear the finalized version and other songs.

I know it will be revamped (as always happens with Albania) and that's why I gave it 2 points instead of a big fat zero, but this is too messy to be solved with just new arrangements
I remember Albanian songs in 2009 and 2010. They looked quite appealing from the very first moment, but this....
