ALBANIA ended up in 30th place of the 2022 Eurovision entries. Morten Thomassen discussed this and ESC Covers google translated it from Norwegian to English.

Today’s song is probably the one most people had in a safe final place, but who for several reasons did not get there.

Ronela got the honor of being the first song of the year in semifinal 1 and she should really only triumph to the final.

She had obviously been the first country out she was going to slam properly and well she did, but with the wrong fireworks you ask me.

What was supposed to show female strength and toughness was instead a blunt performance that might have been better suited to a dubious nightclub instead of in a family show like ESC should be.

Rarely have we seen a more sexualized show and on the vocals there was not much to gain, there was a little too much screaming and a little too little impressive vocals at times, the lady was after all busy appearing tough.

However, no one should take Madam Hajati on the effort, she gave everything, but it only lasted until 12th place and then you do not get to the final.

In terms of points, the song “Secret” received almost four times as many points from the people compared to the professional jury, well it was actually only a jury that liked this well enough to give points, but in the Greek jury’s ear this was actually the best of the evening.

The Greek audience also thought that it was as much as 30% of the votes came from one country, neighbors are okay sometimes it is not?

I also have a feeling that many of the other countries that gave points here have a good number of Albanians living as far as possible, they voted like crazy on this, to little use then.

This country has reached the final 50% of the times they have participated the last 10 times so they just have to take it easy when it comes to stage shows and they will probably manage the final steak next time they are with as long as the song has the right qualities .
