Albania: Festivali i Këngës 53' tonight!

Albania will continue the national final season tonight as Festivali i Këngës concludes! I've had a quick listen to the songs and I have three immediate favourties. These are; Elhaida Dani, Lindita Halimi and Rezarta Smaja. Either of them winning would see this blogger very happy. Eighteen acts will participate and the winner will be chosen by a special jury alone.

Missed Opportunities 2014: Albania!


The Albanian entrant was once again chosen through Festivali i Këngës - the final took place on 28th December. Hersi Matmuja won the Albanian selection although failed to make the final in Copenhagen. She only came 15th out of 16 participants. A disappointing result. Would any of the other acts who competed in Festivali i Këngës had done better? I think so.

Rezarta Smaja - Në zemër
Firstly, I think the beautiful Rezarta should have represented Albania with Në zemer. With some work and English lyrics, this could have been absolutely fantastic! She also tried to represent Albania in 2013 with Ti. I really hope she won't give up... an amazing voice!

Klodian Kaçani - Me ty
Klodian Kaçani was the favourite to represent Albania in Copenhagen before the final, and he came so close. Klodian came 2nd - but I can't understand why some juries members awarded him zero points? I loved Hersi but Me ty would have made a fantastic Albanian representation.
