Albania ALBANIA 2022 - Ronela Hajati - Sekret

[escYOUnited]

Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret

Ej, ej, ej, ej, ej, ej, ej

Po vjen djali nga malet
Dhe tek unë sot do falet
Nuk e di a do ndalet
Hajde t'i, hajde t'i falim mëkatet
Për këtë vajzën do vije
Dhe krejt botën ta lije
Unë jam diell nuk jam hije
Ti i je i imi, djalë prej Shqipërie

Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Baby shija jote, shijes sime
Peng i ka mbet
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Nuk janë më një sekret
Por unë nuk e di, nuk e di
Si kam me u ndi

Nuk e di, si për tjetrën m'ke lon
Edhe sot un po du me ta thon
Edhe një, edhe ty
Nje, dy, tre, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha

Ma ke bo jetën si lojna, avion
Ma ka lon, ma ka lon
Nuk du nji tjetër, se pishmon
Ma ka lon, ma ka lon

Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Baby shija jote, shijes sime
Peng i ka mbet
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Nuk janë më një sekret
Por unë nuk e di, nuk e di
Si kam me u ndi

Nuk e di, si për tjetrën m'ke lon
Edhe sot un po du me ta thon
Edhe një, edhe ty
Një, dy, tre, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha

Ma kadalë, ma kadalë, ej
Ma kadalë, ma kadalë, ej​

I‘m nevertheless curious/sceptical about the impact of the reduced number of dancers on the ESC stage. DJ Bobo suffered from that quite a lot.

DJ Bobo suffered mostly because his song sucked and because it was performed terribly.

Ronela herself has stage presence for 6 singers

Ronela herself has stage presence for 6 singers

Then why did she put up so many in the first place?
Jokes aside: There will be a different overall impression - question is: what will they do to compensate that? I expect / hope for an impressive staging concept.

 

[apasionata]

Then why did she put up so many in the first place?

Because "Sekret" is high art that deserves the best presentation possible and by utilizing that amount of dancers Ronela's assertiveness and powerhouse vocalist abilities come across as even more powerful.

You‘re just proving my point - being forces to reduce the number of dancers is not the best presentation possible. Just as I said…

Oh just forget it

I'm not impressed.

I give credit to her amazing vocal and performance, stage presence is insanely good. The song is interesting, it captivates.

However, the melodic line is a mess. There are so many melodic changes belonging to the different genres, including traditional Albanian, house music, and then typical Scandinavian pop vocalization on top of that. Though that makes the song interesting, on the other side it disables an average listener to memorize the melodic line or to sing a song.

Less is more, the rule being applicable to this entry more than ever.

This is like a Samanta Tina song done properly - bit of a hodge podge of sounds but crucially still very accessible and catchy!

Finally got to see the winning performance and well, I think Albania actually did the right choice in the end. The english lyrics she is singing fits very well already and we can probably expect a song that will have english choruses and albanian verses. Which is actually what I think the song needs to do well, since I can see some western european voters not getting the meaning of the song at all and might find her a bit threatening.

But overall, good choice from the Albanians and a bold one, will be really interesting to see how well it does in Turin!

Ronela Hajati invited to the program "Albanian Sunday" revealed that the first job after the victory in "Fest '60" is the processing of the song. Hayati wants the 'revamp' of 'Secret' to take place in England with one of the best producers she has always dreamed of working with. It is about Diztortion, which is behind the hits of Major Lazer, David Guetta, Sean Paul, Shakira, Rita Ora, etc. The artist indicated that the song will be sung in Albanian and English, but the verse that the public likes so much "1,2,3, ta marrsha", will remain in the Albanian language.

@Sammy Oh look at that, it's as if queen Hajati overheard our conversation - look how she commands that stage ON HER OWN

Finally did my top 20 after live performances

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Albania really made the right choice, holy moly it's good!!!!

Ronela will without a doubt stand out and I love how dom she is on stage

I can also see her getting some jury support for her sick vocals

From what my Albanian friend told me, she is already planning the trip to meet Diztortion The two have discussed the details already.

Ugh I'm TREMBLING already

 

[Gentleman]

I hope she sings the song entirely in Albanian.

 

[apasionata]

I hope she sings the song entirely in Albanian.

She won't. Confirmed 10 thousand times. Still the essence will remain in Albanian.

 

[mrappeal]

I hope she sings the song entirely in Albanian.

She will add some English lyrics, keep some Albanian ones. As much as I love your gorgeous language, this might add some points to her, considering also westerners are loving the vibe.

If Ruslana won with those atrocious lyrics...

If Ruslana won with those atrocious lyrics...

This. As basic as they are they are what everyone gets turnt and go apeshit with first chords playing.

I really warmed up to "I/You will never regret. It will be a secret" personally. Makes the song mysterious in a good way as she slides straight back into Albanian.
