Kejsi Tola :wub:

Meh, I find that NF season doesn't usually get going until late January/early February when Iceland/Norway's selection process starts up, no doubt I'll end up watching some of these early ones though.

YAY KEJSI.

Dr. Flori :wub:

I hope they dont send Bujupi...he is so bland...if they want another success year, they have to send someone from Kosovo lol...matter fact Vesa Luma is Rona's best friend and she is very popular.

Kejsi's song

 

 

Can't comment on the quality of the rest but I do really like this so it would be nice to see her back.

With a few small changes it could actually become a fantastic entry. I'm loving it already though. And <3 at that background sound too haha.

 

They will be able to send a song that tops Suus only in at least a few years though. So I'm not really expecting big things from Albania again this time.

I really hope they choose that song! I agree with Pavel. A few small changes and it could be amazing. They NEED to keep it in Albanian, though! Such a nice language! <3

Kejsi's song does sound fantastic, glad it has qualified and I hope it can win! :D

HOLD YOUR PONIES ladies, we haven't heard the ANJEZA contribution yet (though I'm enjoying Kejsi's return muchly. It's no Carry Me In Your Dreams but really WHAT IS)

I believe that there is just a few more minutes until the result is announced, come on Kejsi!! :wub:

Ell & Nikki have just performed a brand new song together and it was really nice! They are now doing 'Running Scared' :wub:

OH NO NOT RONA

Woo Rona :wub: She's doing Suus in English :o

Oh well, that's Albania out of the final.

Anjeza 2nd and Kejsi 4th, it could have been so much different! :( Well done to the winners though.

And with that the good quality of the Eurovision season so far comes crashing back down to earth.

This is Slovenia 2010 levels of tragic.

I was going to ask for somebody to post a link in this thread but I guess I can probably go without that!
