[evija87]

Me too of course

Strangely enough, I have faith in the Albanian jury. Despite looking like a bunch of scary, bitter old men (with one female exception) they have so far chosen always the best song. Wish I could say that of all the other countries!

Very excited!

Yep, that does sound strange.

Well, we can't all be the same now can we?

Let's agree upon they chose wisely in the last three years. 2010, on the other hand...

The opening entry soundeth great.

 

[evija87]

Gotta love Hersi... again her song is one of my top... last year number 1, this probably will be too

 

[QwaarJet]

Opening entry is boring nonsense.

 

[Knubelznarm]

First song - amazing voice! Great song! I really like it

 

[No Name]

I really like that they're still using live orchestras in the Albanian NF's. Never really understood the big fuss when people wanted orchestras back, but now that I see and hear it with my own eyes I gotta say it gives the whole thing a more genuine and authentic feeling.

Not a fan of the first song btw.

It takes 2 or 3 listens but Hersiana (1st song) must be the one!

1. Zemërimi i një nate (One night’s anger) - Herciana Matmu

I liked her and the song, nice way to start the show

Strange. I thought the song was good, except the voice. She seemed at her vocal limits.

 

[CC92]

Song #2 seemeth good as well though definitely not as strong as tha precedin' number.

I hope we will NEVER have the orchestra back in ESC! It may work for some songs, but for others not so much... if people don't want anything modern or experimental or electronic in ESC, then yeah bring it back and we'll also head back some decades.

Don't get we wrong, I think real instruments are making music more genuine, but not all type of music benefits from that.

#2: The orchestra is drowning the vocals. But nothing that can't be fixed.

Ugh, that was quite painful. Vocally very shaky.....NOpe....

 

[QwaarJet]

Not impressed with the songs so far.

Erik, to me it should be optional. Absolutely no intention for uptempo modern tracks to force them, but when someone has a ballad or original song beautiful orchestration can be a big bonus.

Well, I loved them. That was my point
