It was a strong final with many good songs – the ones that ESC Covers enjoyed were by Vivjan Kokeri, Argisa Sako and Ajla Buzi but credit should be given to all the competitors.
The interval included a short medley of all the previous three Albania JESC songs – Igzidora Gjeta, Mishela Rapo and Klesta Qehaja.
The winner was decided by an expert jury. You can see Ana’s winning song below.
