If the "surgery" is a success, then yes, you'll be able to say that Albania will be a successful country in 2016.
It's literaly a surgery which should be made, because that's a mess !

6 points for now, I think. It's messy, and could do with a lot of improvement, but I like the basic ideas here - hopefully the Albanian revamp magic starts working again and turns this into something really good. Already a better song than Ireland's at this point, plus this has more potential with the revamps, so for now I guess Albania's got a short-lived period as my #1 for the year!

Re: ALBANIA 2016 - Eneda Tarifa - Përrallë

Now that i've had three weeks to cool down, I return with a respectable 8 for another nice entry from Albania. It's a powerful song. I agree with others describing this as being such a typically Albanian entry. It so is. Mysterious and with a chorus that soars, taking you to quite unexpected places. For some reason i'm getting Aurela Gace flashbacks listening to the song. I'm not super keen on Eneda's voice. It's a bit too screechy for me (says the "Suus" mega fan). In my head I can imagine Rezarta Smaja singing this and making me fall in love with it. Overall this song isn't bad at all though, and it's only likely to grow on me more. I actually don't think anything really needs to be done to it. I'm not dying for a revamp like everyone else is, but it's Albania so one is obviously coming, and I shall look forward to it.

8 points. For me it can be second - best Albanian entry after 2008

'Best Albanian entry after 2008'

ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT ARE YOU TYPING RIGHT NOW ? :lol:
(of course I'm joking right now, I won't be angry against you for that..)
What about 2012 and 2015 entry ?

2015 is my #3 I like it a lot too (I just really like Pёrrallё a lot), 2012 she was awesome in live, but I doubt I ever add Suus to my playlist

Përrallë.. I don't understand why people are thinking Albania could pass the semis.

How many songs do we know? 3? Well, maybe it's too early for such opinons, but for me Albania's entry is the best at the moment.

Përrallë.. I don't understand why people are thinking Albania could pass the semis.

Well for me I like the song. I can't speak for everyone but when I am thinking if a song can qualify or not, I try to go on my gutfeeling. Sure there is only 3 songs chosen and we even haven't got the draw yet for which country is in which semi, but it is just fun to guess on the first listen (which is suprisingly often right for me). In Albanias case, I think if it is this good for me now and if it goes the way I want it to go when they translate and shortening the song, then this song could be a rather cool rock song in Stockholm, something I think ESC is in desperate need of (the rock songs has been few and very weak recently). Then also, we have to accept that everyone has different taste, I know myself that it can be hard sometimes when you really dislike something and people are hyping it, I've been there many times, but better to just accept the difference and show them wrong in may instead. ;)

Yup - I think a lot of fans (including myself) often underestimate the importance of that gut feeling from the first listen. Yes, most of us hear the songs dozens of times in the lead-up to the contest, and reconsider our rankings for months... but the majority of spectators hear the songs for the first time on the night, and don't have the chance to go through all of those reconsiderations. It's often those songs that catch the viewer on the first listen, then, that pull in those mainstream viewers, and as such get the votes.
