Never underestimate the diaspora.
always got to the final since 2018, apart from 2022 (where they still got top 10 with the televote)

Never getting how Albania is a world power in music industry and they always send this kind of entries to ESC…

 

[Biste]

Wow Albania was a lot more boring than I remembered.

Also those the LED is very uncomfortable, I find.

 

[Etanna]

Albania was actually pretty good? I don't get why it's so underrated. The song, the vocals, the staging, the dress... I liked all of it.

 

[Himan]

Malta and maybe even Albania would have qualified in SF1 over Luxembourg. Tonight? I don't know.

 

[Chrisiam]

Really intense choreography from the Albanian Singer there. Standing in place, something I used to struggle with myself, but now I think I've got a grip of it.

 

[bazinga]

Can't wait for the twitter meltdown when Israel qualify. All the folks with the watermelon in their bio will be mad mad

[Citelis]

I don't like Albania's entry at all.

Toilet Time

 

[aef]

Okay I just learned that Marina is 37??? I thought she was like 20 haha.

 

[Zorjan]

Albania is always among my favorites, but this year... It ended up as an early toilet break for me

 

[Bench]

Great performance but weak song, borderline Q

Very meh, if this Q in this stronger semi its due to their diaspora

 

[Geborgenheit]

Greece best so far.

 

[jatojo]

I like that Greece's vocals seem quite "real" (and not manipulated as we see in so many other acts this year). The song in itself is not my taste.

 

[bazinga]

Albania should have just save money and skipped this year. The song is such a non event.

 

[Chrisiam]

Oh no, the Greek singer keeps moving the microphone away from her mouth when she is singing, should have given her a headset!

 

[lasse braun]

albania flopped - greece on the edge. (weird song but i like the weird way very often.)

 

[0scar]

is a mess??? Not what I expected at all, I get shock NQ vibes tbh

 

[soulm8]

Oh, boy that’s really cheap production. Anyway, slay Greece !
