Austria has bigger Albanian diaspora than all 3 countries combined. Geography for dummies. 🤣

lol, School us girl. Albanians prefer Switzerland while Serbs and Bosnians prefer Austria. Albanians must be living in hideouts here.

And Macedonia has huge population of Albanians. You know it, I know it.

Funny how I get trashed when I argue that Austria usually fails in the Televote due to a lack of voting allies and now people are arguing that Albania with their boring song has not enough voting allies.

Diaspora only affects borderline qualifiers SOMETIMES. If a song is a safe Q it's a safe Q no matter what country it's from

And I will add Italy has by far the largest Albanian diaspora: approximatively 430,000 Albanians live here in Italy, just saying...

2023 is one of the worst years ever. 75% of the songs are fricking awful.

It’s also one of the best years, I never had so many favorites in a year and my country is also doing well again (in my fantasy we also did well 2019 and 2022). But a Swedish or Ukrainian victory would ruin this year for me.

I was more disagreeing with the fact that albania is seen as a guaranteed Q no matter what song they send. If Albania qualify it will be on merit based on the quality of the song

Ah, I see!

If you ask me, :al: has been quite underrated in recent years. If you ask me (and we talk about quality), 2018, 2019 and 2021 should have been Top 10 (and even though "Duje" isn´t of the same quality, I think it should easily qualify in a weaker 2nd semi). The 10 pts from Greece is just a "plus".

Idk if Armenia has a bad draw, really. Denmark is going to feel like a warm-up next to her, especially if Reiley's vocals aren't great and Brunette's are. She also stands out a lot compared to the next act (Romania). Personally I think the SF2 running order is really well done, it has a much better flow to it than SF1 (though SF1 was kind of hard to get to flow given the hand the organisers were dealt)
