ALBANIA 2013 - Adrian Lulgjuraj & Bledar Sejko – Identitet

[Odalis]

Hey, it's an awesome idea to have two sterling stages, need to direct this to the supervisor and people responsible for organization, it's way better than these pointless satellite appendix stages they make every single time
I agree that nothing is impossible, but i'm sure that the organizers wouldn't wanna complex the event with already enough headaches and troubles on their shoulders they have to deal with every year

I could have sworn I read something this year in one of the reports about Anouk being on a smaller stage? I'll have to see, I might have read it wrong.

There is a great music show where I am called "Later With Jools Holland". It's all live music and bands and it's quite a small venue but there are about 4 or 5 stages and the camera rotates. The flow of the show is very fast paced and everything is live. Amazing mix of bands and artists too.

As you say though, i'm sure the organisers wouldn't want the headache I think it would totally refresh the contest though and attract so many artists who wouldn't go near the contest before.

Anouk sings in the small satellite stage (connected to the main one by a catwalk).

Ah I see. Something like that would be great. A smaller intimate, stage to the side where artists who want to play live could set up their instruments whilst others are performing on the bigger stage.

 

[Fluke]

Whoa, they answered one of my questions

Here's a second version:

2nd rehearsal Albania: Adrian Lulgjuraj & Bledar Sejko - Identitet (Eurovision 2013) - YouTube

Unfortunately the first singer still sounds awful. I hoped he would have learnt by now to at least open his throat a bit more, but no.

[Yamarus]

That singer looks like Nana Mouskouri.

ahhhhh this is blasphemy

For the good of the contest and our ears, I hope Albania (with Armenia and Romania) stays in the semis this year. Diaspora doesn't work for it, so juries, take care!!!

 

[PeterLPZ]

I don´t see this song in the final.

 

[Scooby]

I don´t see this song in the final.

Neither I but who knows. Personally i don't like its tooo hysterical for me, just like Aurela performance 2 years ago

 

[evija87]

I really hope they make it, to me they instrumentally and by melody have more interesting song than Aurela, who butchered her beautiful and mysterious Kenga Ime from FiK to good, but too-screamy rock entry in English (90%).
Guys this year have great use of drums, no cheesy lyrics (feel the passion - more like slogan for Eurovision than a song title which wasn't but could be covered by albanian lyrics), good energy I just hope they will hold this song vocally because it's my biggest concern, and I'm afraid of pyro overdose. But I love this song very much and believe it will go through, we need some rock too!

Dear Albania, I wish you all the best (fourth entry I supoort in a row, wow) xcrossed

 

[kengaIME]

I believe their perfomance will be amazing! Rock On xbb

It's 5 in a row for me!

I agree with all you wrote. Except I love "Feel The Passion" and thought Aurela was robbed of a place in the final. This years entry is fantastic. Shall be crossing everything tonight for Albania, by far my most favourite Eurovision countryxcrossed

I'm a litle worried about the way they look. The guitarrist has always looked weird, but the lead singer used to look alright. Now I've seen a eurovision.tv rehearsal video and he too looked scary, all teeth and cheekbones.

This shouldn't matter, of course it shoudn't, but one knows from bitter experience that it does. Aurela Gace's brilliant performance wouldn't have failed if she was younger and had less veins protruding from her neck

 

[kengaIME]

Aurela

OMG

Aurela
OMG

Don't get me wrong I loved Kenga Ime/Feel the passion, but in a form from Festival i Kenges. It lost a lot when they changed it to pure rock, still great but the original song in Albanian was very special in my opinion, gave me smiliar vibe like now Anouk. It was so mysterious and sung in original language and instruments it had this "x-factor" to me that made me crazy about this song, but this crazy was lost and I was left with great song in genre I love but... but something was lost
