Albania's qualification rate based on language (as 2024): Albanian: 6/8 (%75) English: 5/10 (%50) Albanian + English: 0/2 (%0) SO, ALBANIA KEEP SENDING SOMETHING TRADITIONAL AND ALBANIAN PLEASE!!!
imagine if Albania sent something in Macedonian in their future participations, or why isn't North Macedonia ever sending an entry in Albania's national language since its the second language of that neighbor of Albania
@@GalaxyNokiaGames Why the fuck should Albania sent something in macedonian or greek??? Albanian is one of the most beautiful languages in the world, so they should keep singing in their own language.
I looked it up and Albania has 4 17th places, tied for the most with Greeve and Norway Here are the countries by the amount of 17th places if you are curious: 4 17th Places: Albania, Greece, Norway 3 17th Places: Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland 2 17th Places: Bosnia and Herzegowina, Romania, Finland, Poland, Denmark 1 17th Place: Serbia, Spain, Israel, Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, United Kingdom, Iceland, North Macedonia, Ireland, Croatia, Russia, Turkey, France, Sweden, Yugoslavia, Germany, Monaco, Italy
@starxoi7957 yes, but if we're only counting placements since the introduction of the semi-finals, or at least since somewhere in the 1990s, when 23 or more countries were competing and there were tie break rules put in place, then Albania wins. For example, Portugal tied 17th with 2 other countries 50 years ago, all 3 of them are listed here. And with 17 or 18 countries participating pre 1990, this was given a lot to songs that tied last or just could avoid last place.

i love albania in eurovision, but like really why do they always change the lyrics of the song in english, it does not work at all i don't understand. Sorry for the english.
2006 and 2018 should have won and 2023 used to be my 1st too but now it's my 3rd One of the best countries, and the top of that is when they sang in Albanian, it's a beautiful language. No wonder 2018 is so good, a rock song in Albanian. I want him to comeback or at least a similar song in 2025
Albania is definitely the ESC country with the best vocalists of all the competing countries. And I think that Rona Nishliu is the best female vocalist, while Eugent Bushpepa is the best male one. I hope, they'll win someday.
I speak for everyone when I say, stop translating your songs into English. They completely lose their charm. You have such a unique and interesting language. Please us it!
Yes, and if you wanna go with an English song, then compete with a totally different song, as opposed to translating your FiK entry, just like in 2015.
I'm Albanian and I listened to almost all the songs that were taken to Eurovision, I'm shocked at how my country has never won or reached at least the top 3, at this point I think Eurovision is no longer a song contest and that the ranking is based on where you are located geographically. I hope Albania can win at least once in the future.
My qualifiers and non-qualifiers of Albania in eurovision 🇦🇱 (Since 2004): OBS: I'll leave the automatic qualifiers as automatic qualifiers even if the country hadn't been my choice to win in the previous year or wasn't high for me in the semi-final format from 2004-2007, since as the entry did not face the semi-finals that year, it would be difficult for me to imagine a situation of these entries in the semi-final *Old semi-final format (2004-2007) 2004: Non-qualifier ❌ 2005: Automatic qualifier ➖ 2006: Non-qualifier ❌ 2007: Non-qualifier ❌ *New semi-final format (2008-Current) 2008: Non-qualifier ❌ 2009: Qualified ✅ 2010: Qualified ✅ 2011: Non-qualifier ❌ 2012: Non-qualifier ❌ 2013: Qualified ✅ 2014: Qualified ✅ 2015: Qualified ✅ 2016: Non-qualifier ❌ 2017: Qualified ✅ 2018: Qualified ✅ 2019: Qualified ✅ 2020: Non-qualifier ❌ (If 2020 had happened) 2021: Qualified ✅ 2022: Qualified ✅ 2023: Non-qualifier ❌ 2024: Non-qualifier ❌ My opinions about the country in eurovision: The country in Eurovision that most likes the "Female ballads" genre, and as it's a genre that I like, I really like some Albanian entries in this style, But I'm really sad about besa in this year, she competed in an extremely difficult semi-final, I feel like if she had left her song in Albanian she would have gotten more votes from the public, besides she was in a hard semi-final, I'm really curious to see what Albania will bring next year, if it's another female ballad or will they change it.
6:28 literally my favourite Eurovision entry of all time ❤ Albania is such an underrated gem. 2010, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are all incredible
The fact that Arliena Ara didn't participate in 2021 makes me sad. In 2017,she has a big hit called "Nentori" and I remeber that she was in Romania (my country) as a guest for a national radio and I was so happy when she was chosen to represent Albania.But after,the contest was cancelled and maybe she will never be on the eurovision stage. *Sorry for my bad english I am just a normal Eastern European guy*
Carry Me in Your Dreams is such an iconic song and Kejsi delivered it perfectly, could have done much much much higher with a good staging. Definitely my favorite from Albania
Apparently, Albania officially has the "Curse of Sweden", where if the contest is held there, they do very poorly (they were also 15th in Semi-final 2 in BOTH Malmö 2013 and Malmö 2024) Also, imo Identitet from 2013 deserved better... :(
2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2022 are amazing! 2023 was good. They should not do English revamps, Albanian language is really beautiful and pretty unique.
A message for Albania and for Albanians: When select an entry in Albanian leave it in Albanian,because translation them or revamping in English they lose their charm.I enjoyed very much Fall from the Sky,Sekret,Duje,Zemren n'dore,Ktheju Tokes and many other song for being in Albanian.So Keep your songs in Albanian,and I hope Besa will release of version of Zemren n'dore in Titan style!
Albania really needs to stop revamping their songs to English. It doesn’t work in most cases. I’d like to hear the Albanian language more often, it’s a quite interesting language.
Albania 2014 is the prime example of how bad staging and outfits kill an exceptional song with a great performer. Poor Hersi. Her song was one of the best that year and it got completely ruined by the staging. She should have worn a dark outfit like in the music video and moved around instead of just standing on that podium.
Love you Albania, defo top 3 countries: 1. Mall 2. Zemren e Lame Peng 3. Duje 4. Identitet 5. Carry Me In Your Dreams 6. Fall From The Sky 7. World 8. Suus 9. Ktheju Tokes 10. Fairytale 11. Karma 12.

most look and perform better in our national selection, smh they all look and perform worst in Eurovision! still great singers, all of them, but most failed with stupid lyric translation! Albanian language is heavenly and so melodic, it would be a pleasure to perofrm in Eurovision with such language, hope we learn one day!
Ever since 2016. They don’t qualify if their songs in English, but do qualify if their songs in Albanian I’m a not a fan of Titan. I don’t hate it, I find it meh. It is my least favourite performance in the song contest this year. Also, Besa had 3 different outfits (2 is from her dress rehearsals.)
2023 is TOO GOOD for esc, the whole family spirit was a unique moment, I think we would never see that again
I was in the audience, and it was amazing! The highlight of the show.
Hey, I watch your vids.
I think 2024 was also amazing
2018, 2019,2020,2021,2023,2024 ❤❤❤

Albanian+ english it is 0/3
Just like San Marino and Malta an underrated country with hidden gems
So many 17th places
As well as many 16th places.

Thanks for appreciating Ktheju Tokës, my favorite Albanian entry as well ❤
In my opinion the most underrated country in Eurovision. Every one of their 16th & 17th places (and there are many, lol) deserved so much better
2018 number one.. Eugent Bushpepa.. perfect..
2015 IS UNDERRATED
I was so pleased to see Kejsi Tola in the postcard. An underrated entry!
The BEST of the albanian entries imo
i love albania in eurovision, but like really why do they always change the lyrics of the song in english, it does not work at all i don't understand. Sorry for the english.
Agree! So so sooo happy that Eugent Pushpepa, Jonida, Anxhela and the Kelmendi family sang in Albanian.
exactely, our singers sound better in Albanian
2024 was so underrated😢😢😢😢😢 my top 3
2006 and 2018 should have won and 2023 used to be my 1st too but now it's my 3rd
One of the best countries, and the top of that is when they sang in Albanian, it's a beautiful language. No wonder 2018 is so good, a rock song in Albanian. I want him to comeback or at least a similar song in 2025
Ktheju tokes Karma and Duje are my favs from Albania❤❤
2006 was a nice entry
I love 2006 getting recognition, it's my favourite 2006 song
2023 must've been a lot more stacked than I remember for Duje to score so low
I love Besa for the fact we have the same winner of 2024
BEFORE THE PARTY'S OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR
Albania is definitely the ESC country with the best vocalists of all the competing countries. And I think that Rona Nishliu is the best female vocalist, while Eugent Bushpepa is the best male one. I hope, they'll win someday.
Albania ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry Arilena couldn't perform FFTS for the Pandemic. Even though I prefer Shaj it is still a fantastic entry and maybe the best of '20s so far
Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Maybe one day we will see Tirana hosting 🙏

My qualifiers and non-qualifiers of Albania in eurovision 🇦🇱 (Since 2004):
OBS: I'll leave the automatic qualifiers as automatic qualifiers even if the country hadn't been my choice to win in the previous year or wasn't high for me in the semi-final format from 2004-2007, since as the entry did not face the semi-finals that year, it would be difficult for me to imagine a situation of these entries in the semi-final

My opinions about the country in eurovision: The country in Eurovision that most likes the "Female ballads" genre, and as it's a genre that I like, I really like some Albanian entries in this style, But I'm really sad about besa in this year, she competed in an extremely difficult semi-final, I feel like if she had left her song in Albanian she would have gotten more votes from the public, besides she was in a hard semi-final, I'm really curious to see what Albania will bring next year, if it's another female ballad or will they change it.
My winner in 2017! My other favourites are 2019, 2021 and 2023
6:28 literally my favourite Eurovision entry of all time ❤ Albania is such an underrated gem. 2010, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are all incredible
@achnix3167 why you so mad replying to all comments
I like 2014🇦🇱
How did you find these at 50hz
They did a huge mistake by translating 2016, 2017 and 2024.
Agree but 2017 still managed to work well
@@fyr_og_flamme_vasil I guess so, at least it sounds fine on it's own.
2024 isn’t even a translation. It’s a completely different new song 😂
@@vibely.7511true 😂 I have an Albanian friend and he said the same thing.
Such small country yet always sending different artist every year
3:52 did anyone notice the voice glitch

2010 and 2021 weren't bad either, but I agree with your notion.
2008, 2009 and 2018 my top 3 ❤

Elhaida Dani and Jonida Maliqi absolutely robbed 😢
Entries I like
2006
2009
2013
2018
but 2020 entry really deserved to compete and get one of albania’s best results
2012 & 2022 are masterpieces.
2009 only. By far the best they ever sent.
2008 is also extremely cute. Listen to it every now and then
here for the “too underrated” comments
2022 VERRY ROBBED
@achnix3167 yes it was
Albania ma podobne do eurowizji sa melodyjne i piekne takie prawdziwe eurowizyjne
Albania would have qualified in 2016 and 2024 if they kept the song in Albanian. As for 2022 the choreo was the reason Albanian failed to qualify.
2009 ❤🎉

Albania 🇦🇱 Send Arilena please
Send Arilena please
Die Version von „Titan“ im nationalen Vorentscheid war wesentlich besser. Vor allem, weil die Sprache schöner war.

3:40
Albania 2009 and 2010 were the best for me ❤❤
At least this year was not just black and red background
Fall from the sky is the best from Albania, too bad it never competed...
Kejsi Tola is best entry from Albania, but Albania sending every year good songs👐🏻👏👏🇦🇱
Rona should have won the contest back in 2012. Please send this emazing voice to Eurovision again, she deserves to win... Greetings from Greece !

Albanian language is heavenly and so melodic, it would be a pleasure to perofrm in Eurovision with such language, hope we learn one day!
Tirana's Palace of Congress is too small for hosting due to capacity (2k spectators)
It is just for the national contest because for eurovision, it would be the stadium that can host more than 25k people
2012 is best
Ever since 2016. They don’t qualify if their songs in English, but do qualify if their songs in Albanian
I’m a not a fan of Titan. I don’t hate it, I find it meh. It is my least favourite performance in the song contest this year. Also, Besa had 3 different outfits (2 is from her dress rehearsals.)
Ever since 2014, as Elhaida Dani competed with a completely different song at FiK.
@@in_wino_veritasI forgot about that.
@@MrPointedRovers actually, it's even since 2011.
Albania never was my winner, my runner-up or my last place.
