According to the press poll, she would qualify. But you can't depend on this unfortunately. I hope she can catch some hearts with her unbelievable voice.

Like the song but her vocals could've been a lot better. Good for her that she was #14.

Well if I have to be honest the song doesn't serve my taste of music even a little bit. But she has a very strong voice that I respect and she was absolutely beautiful in that dress.

This was a total non event on stage, I'm surprised it qualified somehow

But she's cool and it's the only song in national language, so I can't be mad. Congrats to her supporters :D

I'm very happy for Albaniaxheart I got two of my super four for this year in the final. Albania and San Marino. Couldn't be a more me suited duo if it tried. RIP Georgia and Portugal.

I guess being the only song performed in native tongue helped Jonida tonight. I always had that in mind actually when considering the chances of this song. After rehearsals I started to get worried. There's nothing really wrong with the staging but it never quite felt like enough somehow. I guess we can say it worked though, and in this very tough semi. I however think there's room for improvement in the final. From the second verse onward tonight there was something quite off vocal wise. I'm wondering if it was a sound problem cause we know clearly she's an amazing singer and she's done it a million times already perfectly, but that was a really peculiar key she started to sing it in. Regardless, wooo go Albaniaxheat Congratulations!

This really surprised me. I think this song requires a very specific singer to be pulle of and Jonida is an absolute pro, mixing focus and passion. She really gave her soul on that stage and the song fits her like a hand in a glove. Got my vote tonight and one on Saturday for sure! xheart

https://www.eurovision.de/videos/20...t-Ktheju-tokes-fuer-Albanien,albanien568.html I did a snort spit-take at 0:34. That backing singer is just so feeling her oats. It's very much like the "Round and Round" backing team from 2014 and Catrinah's iconic backing singer from the Lithuanian selection in 2016. I fully expect a wig snatch from her in the final.

That backing singer as well is none other than my Festivali i kenges fave, Artemisa Mithixheart I got two for the price of one tonight.

I didn't intend to vote for this tonight, but I ended up throwing her a couple of votes. It was so good, I'm happy she made it.
