To this day still Albania's best entry! Simple, positive, catchy pop! I wish Albania would go back to these type of songs as opposed to the dramatic entries we get from them

[@s.t555]

I totally agree with that ! We have very talent musicians who are amazing at vocals and English language songs has the best options for reveal your vocal talent (like you said pop songs or smth)

[@andrijadjordjevic9584]

I agree! 👌🏻

What a first entry to Eurovision. I still remember this, this was just such a charming, sweet, different entry.
Love from Switzerland!

[@DanTony68]

4th rank at the Semi-Final (out of 22 countries) and 7th at the Final (out of 26 countries). Very good results for a debut ! 🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏😍❤️

[@MustiiForTheWin]

How strange the feeling in your soul
When love invades your very being
Another "me" or so I'm told
And life takes on another meaning
Day after day, I go through the motions
Stumbling my way, life is a blur
Slave of my love, of my emotions
You're in my eyes, you're in my heart
One kiss, one heart, in time,
A kiss, the moment, is mine
I close my eyes, I breathe
I'm Queen of the world of Make Believe
You make me feel, a little crazy
You make me see, your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
You make me feel the image of you
You make me feel, a little crazy
You make me see, your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
You make me feel the image of you
You make me feel, a little crazy
You make me see
One kiss, one heart, in time,
A kiss, the moment, is mine
I close my eyes, I breathe
I'm Queen of the world of Make Believe
You make me feel, a little crazy
You make me see, your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
You make me feel the image of you
You make me feel, a little crazy
You make me see, your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
You make me feel the image of you
You make me feel,
A little crazy
You make me see,
Your tears are true
You make me feel,
Image of you
I know, it's just, a dream
I feel, l love, this life
I know, it's just, a dream
I feel, l love, this life

She was one of my favorites that year, and I've always followed the festival, but the first Eurovision I clearly remember is '99. In 2004 we were watching it me, my father, my godfather, and his two daughters, mothers had gone to sleep. We were all commenting how this shyness of her made the whole performance so cute

Damn i am impressed that you remember that night with details😊

[@Tetsugakusha75]

@@Jurgen_Ibro That's not true, who told you this? It just takes a search on YT for Anjeza Shahini to show it's wrong. Among many other things, there's an amazing cover version of "One moment in time" from 2013.

Don’t listen to that Jurgen dude. She’s actually a very beloved singer in Albania. Now Anjeza lives in the UK as she married a wealthy ambassador with ties to the aristocracy and wants to dedicate herself to her family more. However her career was far from going “downhill”. Also she still appears in many popular Shows as well.
