Albania ALBANIA 2023 - Albina & Familja Kelmendi - Duje

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Mainshow]

Albina + Family are 7 people in total.

Whom is Albina going to fire and let behind in Tirana?!?!?!

 

[Looren]

First of the season

I would have loved to see Evita on ESC's stage, but since we're going 100% televote semi, Duje is probably the better choice result-wise.

I need to replay the song more, but I presume something in the - range.

 

[Zorjan]

Congratulations Albina!

I find the song a bit messy in the current version, but it has great potential and may get amazing after a revamp
Good choice Albania

I need to rewatch it but weren't they 6 ?

Ah, they are 6 indeed - There was an additional "member" on stage when they perceived their "Eurovision" award (?)

This song screams Albania allover. It is an ancestral symphony with sounds and voices coming from very past times but somehow connected with the present.
Very glad she won. Obviously she will keep it in Albanian, it doesn't have any sense in English.
I gave a full 12. She and Kastro Zizo deserved a 12 for me. Elsa Lila a 2.
Well the season really started.

i think both albanian winners are a lot better than this weird vidbir winner.

before i vote i must hear the studioversion,maybe the musikvideo.

It´s Albania You will probably have to wait until mid-March to do so

You can still change your vote/points throughout the season.

THE GOOD:
-It's a family affair, which is always nice.

THE BAD:
-Overall, the sound is too traditional for my taste.
-Lacks punch
-Not that memorable overall.

THE VERDICT:
More below. This song will need a really good revamp if it is to stand a chance of qualifying. I don't think it'll win come May.

My critique of Albania's ESC 2023 entry

Below is my critique of "Duje" by Albina & Familja Kelmendi, which is Albania's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, beating out 20 other songs to punch its ticket to Liverpool. I need to post…

thought about it a while and have given so far - ok?

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Of course my internet would go out when the FIKmas finale happened.

Oh well, least I was able to log back in later to see this lovely gift.

I'll be bold and give it a before the revamp (hopefully there's not too much that gets changed).

Boy, am i glad i couldn't last until 1am yesterday. This result does not spark joy.

 

[ayzelto]

It’s not bad, but not good either. I had the feeling it was a bit messy. Let’s see the revamp… 4 points for now

 

[Yazy]

Well turns out my very basic, safe and predictable prediction is predictably correct.

Which was Evita winning the festival and Duje chosen for ESC.

@mauve Our plan worked out! You can relike it now!

I will do it with every of my faves if it works so well! Long live the "unlike"!
