Eurovision Song Contest 2015 - Albania

[Aurora Bulkualis]

Albania was the first to qualify out of the first batch of semi-finalists, but the performance was cringe worthy at times. It was so off-key

This song does sound a lot better live, especially the ending, but I'm surprised how someone that could win Voice of Italy would have such bad technique live. I really hope she can pull through, because she has huge support this year, and the competition is very weak. I wouldn't rule out a win with a great live performance. Macedonia and Italy I think will give us 12 points, and Greece 10 as always.

Yea I was tremendously underwhelmed by this performance... She was off key for the entire first half of the song. Let's hope for a better performance in the finals. At this point I'm just happy we made it to the final and would be ecstatic with a top 10 finish. My expectations have greatly been lowered.

Is she as good as that 2004 singer? I still remember at the time where she got like 6th place and everyone in my family was acting like she won time magazine person of the year

[Simboli i Diellit]

I don't rate her vocally as high as Anjeza Shahini who reached 7-th place . They say she didn't perform that well because she had a cold or flu. She can reach top 10 .

I think Serbia will win, because the winner lately has always been a gimmicky type of act i.e. transexual, fat, disabled, etc...

If you want to win, send a transsexual, disabled, mentally retarded, blindy gypsy with a song about how he's not different than you and me, and you win.

I love those parody accounts ^

It looks like a race between Sweden, Italy and Russia. Very weak entries tbh. Eurovision has been weak since 2012.

[Aurora Bulkualis]

She was so bad ffs. It was hurting my ears. I don't understand why people were complaining on social media about politics and whatnot. Austria won the previous year, and got 0 points this year. Even places like Azeirbaijan and Latvia have won it.

The saddest part was that in Italy and Switzerland we were #1 by the public, but last by the judges, so we got 0 points from them She was like 8th place from the public, and dead last by judges. If she had done a good job, she could have gone top 5.

We did not deserve a better finish that we ended up with. I don't think any of the other performers in the final underperformed quite like Elhaida. To me, it sounded like a drunk girl signing karaoke that is not quite able to keep up with the song she is trying to sing. Everyone needs to stop complaining and make this political, it is a singing competition and the best singers should win. Elhaida was nowhere near good enough to win it (though I personally really liked the song itself and was sure she would place in the top 10 as I expected her to sign it as she did in the music video released).

Idk why Albania always sends entries that rely heavily on vocal technique, since they're the riskiest to perform live.
