Morten Thomassen looks today at ALBANIA where an entire family is singing their entry for Liverpool. ESC Covers google translated it from Norwegian to English.

Today’s country is the one that traditionally chooses its contribution first, this year they were cheated by Ukraine, but as you know, Christmas will not be the same if our Albanian friends have not chosen their contribution.

This year it will thus be Albina and her families Kelmendi who will defend the Albanian colours.

It is done with what has possibly become a bit of a standard from this country, a ballad of the very dramatic kind.

Unfortunately, there are a little too many of these by the dozen from this point on, I’m afraid, and the song probably doesn’t feel very innovative for that reason.

And with as many as 6 vocally strong members from the same family, it could possibly be a bit too much of a good thing and those who vote will not fully take in the message of the song, I’m afraid.

I’m afraid that the song “Duje” will be a bit too tough in semi-final 2 and that Albina will therefore have to go home to her golden retrievers without having experienced the final.
