Shkodra Elektronike is definitely my favourite, not sure if the recap clip Misja chose is the best one but I guess it's the most impactful moment. I think it's different enough to be exciting and new but has traditional appealing elements too to do well.
My top 3 after first full listen are: 1. Shkodra Elektronike 2. Ardit Çuni 3. Elvana Gjata but there are so many that I like this year! I’m glad you wrote down so many. The clips don’t do a lot of them justice.
My top 3 would be: Ardit Çuni, Elvana Gjata and Orgesa Zaimi but I like a lot of songs! I would love to see Shkodra Elektronike, Jet and Alis doing well too
Shkoda Elektronike is phenomenal!! My absolute favorite out of 30. I do like instrumental part of Elvana Gjata she is my 2nd, I just think that throwing random Spanish words around cheapens the song, that chorus is disappointing imo. Juries will tank it down and Eurovision juries wont love it either. Good selection this year, cant wait
I appreciate your thoughts and can definitely see what you’re saying. People are either going to totally eat it up or totally look for something different. A lot of it will have to do with the live performance too I’m sure.
To me Eurovision is abt leaving a legacy, being memorized for originality! And Albania has had some memorable moments, and those did best, regardless of the ganra! What Elvana did, is very very but very cheap in my perception! Is like we are seeling so cheap and losing depth, and I love Elvana! This year, three stand out: Shkodra Elektronike, Alis, Jet! Probly others that I havent listened to that well, but these kidn of stood out for me.
Yess, she's the same Luna from Kënga Magjike. There's other participants too like Jet (his KM song has become a hit and I knew he wouldn't disappoint in FiK either), also Algert Sala and Stine (idk if I missed someone). That being said, if the Albanian act were to be chosen through KM, I believe Albania could become a powerhouse in Eurovision
I figured there had to be a couple more! I love how KM gives so many both big and new artists a platform. Do you think Albania could ever move to selecting using KM instead of FIK?
FiK is strong so strong and diverse this year I love it I loved FiK the past few years too but it feels nice to not a have year which is just a sea of ballads 😭
Idk i actually feel like the field is quite thin, in names too, overall but the ones that are more modern are actually intersting and im glad sth changed
FiK defo upgraded in comparison to last year’s selection 💯 Well it took a while but i was finally able to check out everything in full and i ended up by chance having 10 Green Tier, 10 Yellow and 10 Red 😂 Too early to have a specific order especially without having a Spotify playlist yet but these are my 10; Algert, Alis, Ardit, Elvana, Erma, Jet, Klea, Lorenc, Orgesa and Shkodra Elektronike
No it isn't. I remember in December 2017 they released the songs before the show as I remember the likes of Eugent and Inis getting hype before the live shows because of their songs.
Respect bro, but you should mention Kosovo also because lot of artists from Kosovo participate in FIK and represented Albania in Eurovision. They need also some attention and support!
To me I select out Jet Lorence pure music and vocals probably not fan friendly Eurovision Ardith and Elvana. I think elvana is good a bit generic but fans will love it I’m assuming she will have dancers. Overall fik this year is much much better than in past years and stronger. New artists have good vocals. I do believe elvana will win at least ppl votes. Albanian new generation love her. But I do like Ardith is ethnic bop vibes. I think Lorence sings to mother that cancer took her away
My top 5: 1. Alis & Jet (Tied) 2. Algert Sala 3. Elvana 4. Ardit 5. Lorenc Alis song for me is a ready winner production and vocal arrangement wize, but Jet also has an amazing voice and starts very strong, but needs a little bit extra at the end. Anything could happen live, though. I don't think Elvana is winning this year. Karnaval is a bit of a downgrade compared to all the other bangers she's released over the past few years. I also believe that it's time for a male to represent Albania this year.
I think Alis is on my list to check out! I’m partial to Albanian women artists but I’m totally vibing with some of the men this year which isn’t always the case!
@JordanDavisEurovision I'm retracting my previous statement about Elvana. Karnaval is growing on me. However, my concern is that the voting system has gone back to having jury involved in the Eurovision selection, and last time, they criminally underscored her. Is there a deal for Elvana behind the scenes? Or is the jury gonna say it's another gypsy song? We need to follow more on their politics to figure that out. But one thing for sure is that the winner is not quite clear at the moment. If Elvana doesn't represent Albania this year, she can always try San Marino. Elvana released a new song called Gocat. It has Tyla vibes, so maybe she can try competing with that.
I've got a top 5 because only shouting out my top 3 would be criminal: 1 - Orgesa Zaimi "I Pare" 2 - Elvana Gjata "Karnaval" 3 - Jet "Gjalle" 4 - Ardit Cuni "Amane" 5 - Erma Mici "Mbaje"
Shkodra Elektronike is definitely my favourite, not sure if the recap clip Misja chose is the best one but I guess it's the most impactful moment. I think it's different enough to be exciting and new but has traditional appealing elements too to do well.
I’ll definitely check out their full entry, there was a lot of promise in the clip!
My top 3 after first full listen are:
1. Shkodra Elektronike
2. Ardit Çuni
3. Elvana Gjata
but there are so many that I like this year! I’m glad you wrote down so many. The clips don’t do a lot of them justice.
That’s what sucks, time vs wanting to watch them all. We’ll try our best!
My top 3 would be: Ardit Çuni, Elvana Gjata and Orgesa Zaimi but I like a lot of songs! I would love to see Shkodra Elektronike, Jet and Alis doing well too
There are 5 stands out:
1. Elvana Gjata - Karnaval
2. Shkodra Elektronike
3. Orgesa Zaimi
4. Ardit Çuni
5. Erma Mici
I agree! This year the selection is really good
There are some good songs this year !
My favorites are Alis, Rea and Shkodra Elektronike
Everyone is sleeping on “Lutem” :(, my winner definitely!
Thank you🫶🏻
Of course 🫡
Shkoda Elektronike is phenomenal!! My absolute favorite out of 30.

A súper festival with top 10 in both fests AND later choosing the winner to eurovision ❤
Ardit çuni , Elvana , shkodra elektronike , orgesa zaimi : one of them will win and my favorite is shkodra Elektronik
FiK is strong so strong and diverse this year I love it
I loved FiK the past few years too but it feels nice to not a have year which is just a sea of ballads 😭
True! But I’m glad we still have a couple of them 😂
Idk i actually feel like the field is quite thin, in names too, overall but the ones that are more modern are actually intersting and im glad sth changed
SHKODRA ELEKTRONIKE ❤
FiK defo upgraded in comparison to last year’s selection 💯
Well it took a while but i was finally able to check out everything in full and i ended up by chance having 10 Green Tier, 10 Yellow and 10 Red 😂
Too early to have a specific order especially without having a Spotify playlist yet but these are my 10; Algert, Alis, Ardit, Elvana, Erma, Jet, Klea, Lorenc, Orgesa and Shkodra Elektronike
Elvana - Alis - Shkodra elektronike 🤍🤍🤍
Shkodra elektronike is the best other ones so boring
1 Shkodra Elektrika is soo unike!🔥! On repeat all Day
2. Orgesa Zaimi
3. Elgana and Algert Sala
Epos! They rock ! 💥💥💥💫💫💭
🤘🏽
Try to watch fik direct live dec 19- 22.this if first time the fik releases the songs before the show
I definitely will!
No it isn't. I remember in December 2017 they released the songs before the show as I remember the likes of Eugent and Inis getting hype before the live shows because of their songs.
Maybe you are right wasn’t following at the time I live USA but from others years were just snippets but I might be wrong
Shkodra Elektronike is the ONLY choice!!!! Elvana’s song unfortunately disappointed me, it sounds dated in a 2012 world cup song type of way 😭
I’ll be checking out that song soon!
My top 3:
1 Shkodra Elektronike - "Zjerm"
2 Ardit Çuni - "Amane"
3 Mal Retkoceri - "Antihero"
Good luck Albania ❤️🇦🇱
Respect bro, but you should mention Kosovo also because lot of artists from Kosovo participate in FIK and represented Albania in Eurovision.
