@@dontmindme5163 ooh so ur an albanian music fan! That’s great. But maybe they don’t have amazing vocals like her,and thats why they don’t sent them, meanwhile we albanians have lots of powerfull and unique and beautiful voices other like her.

@@stanleywilson7679 So you are saying that a jury made of professional musicians can't tell when someone is flat? Is that why they gave her so many points?
for me, the "me lerni te qaj" part which means "let me cry" with her voice her long high note can express the feeling, the emotion of the song very excellently love this :)
I cannot explain how much I love this. This was brillant, Albania. Best Albanian entry so far and my favorite ESC performance until now. Love from Portugal 🇵🇹💞🇦🇱
I remember voting for her, and only her, at the end of the show. She was amazing, and still is. Even though I am serbian and I had the chance to vote for Serbia because I live in Norway, I voted for Albania instead. Vote for best artist/song, not favorite country, that's how it's supposed to be. Her voice almost gave me goosebumps.
I remember that when Rona was performing at the semi finals, a very tragic accident happened here in Albania. It was a bus full of young students for a school trip to Saranda. That day was decided a national mourning day for all those youths who lost their lives in the accident. That day TVSH did not broadcast Eurovision, when it was the semifinal where Nora performed. At least, this song was well appreciated for the art it is, even though Albania is a relatively small country. We were so happy that it made it to the top 5 songs. Well deserved ❤❤❤
+George Moschos You say "Grande Amore", a.k.a. one of the most cliché songs I've ever heard, is one of the best Eurovision songs of all time and call this meaningful piece of art "screaming" and "one of the worst". I'm sorry, but do you expect people to take you seriously?
Σχεδόν μια δεκαετία μετά και ακόμη το ακούω… Έργο Τέχνης η ερμηνεία της!!! Ευλογημένη με ένα τόσο σπάνιο δώρο! Η καλύτερα συμμετοχή της Αλβανίας στον διαγωνισμό τραγουδιού και αναμφίβολα μια από τις καλύτερες συμμετοχές ever!
Never forget the moment I heard this song that night! I was struck and overwhelmed by words I could not understand, my heart hurt, and I could FEEL exactly the meaning of the liyrics. Everything about this performance was perfect, pure art. She sang with such vigour, as if she cried out the pain of a million people. The coloraturas , crying for hope and love, she would want to sing with joy, but hope is gone, and so it is a melody of tears and letting go of trying so hard .
Albanian language is so beautiful guis! Im albanian and she is my language, but in this song is just amazing, because the singer are magic. Rona Nishliu have a spectacolar voice. For final, in albanian language, "PERSHENDETJE". it's mean HI.
albania the best voice in history of eurovision my eyes one of the best song end voice love this song from greece ....all people in the word one stop wars end anemy in the national....all
Actually, it can change the results. You can take a look at this table: eurovisionworld.com/esc/old-voting-system-australia-would-have-won-eurovision-2016 where you can see how the change of voting systems affected the rankings of several countries, including the winner. :)
I'm from Azerbaijan! Love this song. 🇦🇿❤️🇦🇱 Love Albania because we are brothers. Love Albania because of these gorgeous Albanians and their voices. Love Albania because of beautiful language. 😍
I miss when Eurovision was like this. Great vocals, emotions, goosebumps. Sadly, all I saw today were dance bops and people dancing around the stage. One of my all time favourites of Eurovision, Rona. If not the best to ever perform here. ❤
@@lanoche2470 Music taste is personal, so no point of arguing that. Slimane was good, but Rona's vocal range and her vocal skills are better and the instrumentation of the song is better. I repeat, my opinion and my taste. Peace! ✌🏻
@@houselovers5 What I meant is that there are still performances without dancers and lightshows like Rona's one. Because you said you miss something that still exists...
it is such a unbelivable powerful song and its my second faavourite song ever of ESC ans rona nishliu has such a amazing voice. i have everytime i hear it goosebumps
When you even get the Azeri crowd to cheer during the performance you know you've succeded! After all these years It's still so fresh and outstanding! One of the best performances ever.
Best song and Singer in Eurovisión ever for me. I can't understand a word but I can really feel this song. What u sent to Bakú was a truely masterpiece.
For all you who want to be smart asses about her singing - this is a performance. The way she signs certainly isn't the best way for her vocal organs, especially because she is bended with her throat and the voice can't fully express. Imagine if it would.. But in any case, that was not the point. The point was her performance. The interpretation, the vocal coordination. At this level, in my opinion, this is superior to all eurovision entries in a decade of time, at very least. Deffinitely my winner - 12 points from Slovenia.
Definitely worth a like from me. She's an excellent singer who can pitch the high notes and hold them out for so long. Not to mention that she keeps it real; This song has a sad topic (it's about no love or joy existing in this world anymore and all that's left to do is to cry), and she's on the verge of breaking down but keeps it up until the end. She must have been through a lot to write lyrics like this and sing them with such emotion.
Producer: what’s the highest note you’d like to hit?
Rona: yes.
Elina Nechayeva is stronger
But very flat...singing not bad but the shrieking was awful and not in tune.
@@dundaetf83 No
mattbod Mate, I think you’re mistaking her “flat” notes for her singing (at times) in a minor key. Go and get some musical training.

When you can't understand any word but song really touches you
is love story song and saying for breakup and when is screaming she sayed let me to cry

well those are preferations and totally respectable by me !!! I can't tell you what song you like or not.
***** Italy lol
***** Albania was 1st in the Italian televote and 26th in the jury vote so y'all got no points
Eurovision legend. Love how she is ALONE on stage and not needed excessive effects and tacky background singers or dancers.
Dude, she was in the Top 10. It's amazing.
+dan dan Top 5 :)
History of world's countries 😃
And to give her that year's Barbara Dex Award for her costume is a mere insult.
It made her gain even more recognition - so why complain haha
This is how the deepest pain of human soul sounds like. A masterpiece of song and performance.
Your comment touched me to tears. I have been experiencing such pain last 3 years. True. Thanks :)
She should represent Albania again with that beautiful, strong voice. 😍
Yes please :)
agree!

Dror Talker Why not? Hopefully. :)
KEREM - ESC we have the same name and we both like Eurovision :)
Breathtaking! Her voice is just amazing, out of this world. Albania really deserved the top 5.
She have the 5th🙃

this might have won with the new voting system
No, because Loreen was first with both Jury and Televoting, so she'd win no matter what voting system was used
With the new system she should be 3rd in the ranking not 5th ....
If the new system had been used back then in 2012, her ranking would have stayed the same.
