With a good revamp this could definitely go to the final! Hope she keeps the song in Albanian and that little trap part🙏🏻

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

rap. Unless she intends to have a trap for her staging.

[@MediTota]

Lol I have been seeing your comments on Eurovision videos about albania since 21 haha😂😂🇦🇱

[@ΣωκράτηςΠαρίσης]

it is very boring, it is not groovy at all

[@loicyoutube5557]

Thank you Georgina for your honest vocal advices ! I’m sure she will take them for her, she is definitely eager to make Albanians proud.

[@RexPhalange]

It’s been days and this song is still in my head. It’s a persistent earworm.

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

Moooooo 🐮

[@uneti463]

she wasnt lost, she tripped twice 😂 btw, we always send some interesting songs, they mean smth different each year, but i really didnt feel anything in this song! Anyway, hope revamp will do smth for me!

[@Natralerth]

hii there for me albania this year has a nice song..

[@vincentesc]

This song is incredible ! And her performance was flawless, my winner so far and my favourite song from the National Season so far ❤❤

[@beautifullife4924]

Lmao it was Elsa Lila ❤

[@mhdkrtsh4369]

No

[@Jongen.]

Flawless 😂😂

[@vince_saint]

Im just a listener but Georgina you speak my mind that’s why I love watching your reactions 😂❤

[@adelinadhimas9398]

BRAVO Albania ❤❤❤is great ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@dageus]

One things must be kept in mind is Albanian is very dense as a language. There are so many articles and multisyllabic words that taking a breath anywhere decent is challenging. Also, let's not forget FIK uses a live orchestra which can be overwhelming if sound is is not managed properly. The revamp is much simpler and better.

[@Snejk_Y00]

personal opinion: this is the best song out of the 3 we have so far

[@mileena622]

Totallyyy

[@matejsvincak6999]

True

[@thebestofmusic7427]

Oh absolutely!

[@alessandronava2759]

absolutely yes

[@evanthorn408]

pedestal is mine but we'll see about after the revamps!! france is too dull for me.

[@simongodderie5150]

After she tripped, it got way better

[@Harel_Israel]

Great song. My number one

[@simonebittencourt8251]

Thank you so much for the very surgically precise analysis. You are so great in what you do. It is wonderful that you see the potential this gorgeous singer from Albania has and deserves to be recognized as a powerful singer and performer. Your analysis had so much substance. Thank you for the learning experience.

[@Iroh12345]

Huge grower for me. I agree that not every element gells well but it's nothing they can't fix before ESC.

[@mrne1988]

I will wait for the revamp to decide about it. Some parts are great, some not so much, so, we will see...

[@vince_saint]

Didn’t notice that with the back vocals but super funny when u focus 😂😂😂 stuck on my head now 😂

[@zebras54]

She's such an engaging performer with a strong song with some adjustments on her clothes, she has a good chance to make it to the final. I'm crossing fingers for her. Love your review.

[@alessandronava2759]

at the moment for me this is the best , and I would have never immagine to have Albania higher than France .

[@mileena622]

Jemi a nuk jemi jemi a nuk jemi

[@timoherrmann2818]

Well, I am really glad that you like it overall. I agree with you though, that the outfit makes it seem a little old-fashioned, I preferred the one in an earlier performance of FiK. I totally adore this entry, how it changes up all the time, as well as Besas charisma and voice. It's most interesting to her your professional approach to the vocals, as those things wouldn't have occurred to me. As always, I really like how appreciative and humble you are.

[@LeFouGallois]

I have to admit, I took very little interest in Eurovision for many years, then last year a friend of mine back in Wales suggested we do a viewing party from our different sides of t'Channel. We actual had a load of fun. For this performance, I don't have the same insight into vocal techniques, but I totally agree that after that first chorus it really picked up. In fact the rhythm of delivery in the verses after that first chorus reminded me so much of some Tiziano Ferro tracks (not sure if you know his music, but I am quite a fan, and would recommend a listen :) ). The way she carried on despite almost falling was impressive, and when you spoke of Madonna's falls on stage, it reminded me of how at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, where she lost a shoe, and decided that to'roll' with it and roll about on the floor, which became iconic overnight. All in all I really enjoyed this performance, which took a moment to warm up, but then hit it's stride. :) x

[@byemihai]

I think the lyrics are really important for ESC!!! I get it, but I still think you should read them, but maybe at the end? after you watch the performance?

[@abc-00000]

Love Albania Titan ❤

[@gloriaalveno7484]

When you got to the backing vocals 😂🤣👏🏼

[@HonestVocalCoach]

😂

[@taulantkadenasikadenasi9950]

Gooo Albania 🇦🇱

[@henrykgaszka84]

I think she has an amazing voice

[@OriginalDoll1]

3:24 it’s leaning toward the typical polyphonic tradiontal singing style of Albania. Check it that out

[@roh1912]

I'm sure you are right - I think there was lots awry behind the scenes throughout this performance. Maybe Besa (and the bvs) had foldback probs at the start; when you mix for picture you could lift the string section as you see them; the piano / keys are too loud she's too low and before the rap there a 100Hz type buzz - something unplugged?? A great recovery from the stilly-stutter and certainly a great song. All best -

[@spainspain3398]

Love the song

[@edv.fernandez6241]

Dear Georgina, first of all.- I recognize and appreciate your immense knowledge; and we are all very fortunate to have you share your assessments and comments; however, I would like to offer a few constructive recommendations.- Let's be MUSICIANS. Let's concentrate on vocal performance and speak about the musical and compositional elements of the lyrics and melody but concentrating on vocals.- vocal range, technique, pitch, volume, pronunciation, breath support, articulation, diction, resonance, vibrato, etc. I am not interested in hearing rhetorical comments on stage, dresses, makeup, shoes as all those can be changed. When it comes to vocal performance and delivery. The person can sing or not; period. Thank you!

[@marsi4409]

This song merits to be to top 5.

[@lisa-k1e9k]

oh this one is pretty good.

[@basj6579]

You should chekc what she was wearing in the semifinal! Much better (also she had a bit less vocal fatigue)

[@KevinChantal]

I love it. My current TOP 3 1. Albania (10/10) 2. France (9,5/10) 3. Pedestal ( 0/10 sorry!)

[@endermasa9451]

Listen to pedestal’s studio track, its much better than the live performance!

[@KevinChantal]

@@endermasa9451 I know the studi version and even tough it is better the live performance is the important part. Unfortunately she can't sing and is just shouting the song right in my face. I just feel like I heard such a song a thousend times before .. and most of them were at least able to sing .

[@Gega539]

Pedestal is the best out of all these three(studio version).

[@bloubear2557]

shouldve been Mydy

[@taulantkadenasikadenasi9950]

Nice song🎉❤

[@melaniegoossen]

The song does me thinking a little bit about Anxhela Peristeri with Karma from 2021. I think she has to wear a kind of the same outfit, but different enough from 2021.

[@katodyka3153]

I know that you like to make reactions to live performances, but it is a shame that you did not make a slight reaction to the songs presented in Spain at the next Benidorm Fest. It would be interesting to know your opinion.

[@boruttrost5750]

Was this the winner's performance at the end of the preselection maybe? It looks like that to me, with all the emotion and discombobulation ...

[@spainspain3398]

Preselection

[@don825]

Always love your reviews, thank you so much! Amazing to hear your professional perspective! I know you don't usually react/review national final performances, but I'd love to see your response to that of Elsa Lila. She won FIK 2022 (although Albina won the "televote"), and was the crowd favourite of FIK 2023. Unfortunately neither the jury vote nor the televote reflect public opinion in Albania, and the festival is still highly corrupted. This is why they do not publish the full results of either vote! But I would love to hear your professional opinion on the performance of Elsa Lila - Mars :) thank you so much

[@beautifullife4924]

Also Evita please!!

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

Remember, her chest is all natural. Personally I think this song sounds like something Macedonia would have sent 10 even 15 years ago.

[@KevinChantal]

' her chest is all natural' Do we really know this or is this just a guess?

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

@@KevinChantalI think Barbie is more natural. Albanians are known for a little ‘assistance’.

[@lucascharrassier4076]

I kinda like this song but we almost see the same thing every year with Albania and it's a bit sad... By the way, there is a real live performance of Slimane (France) if you want to check ! He slayed during NYE in France

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

I beg to differ. This was the first non shouty thing Albania have sent since 2014

[@Alex-yo5cj]

I watched few times the rapping section of the song and think it was a lip sync or video got AV-sync error. More likely the lip sync as sound quality did change. Maybe that's why Georgina thought it's vocally stronger part of the performance.

[@joseuribe9273]

Compare to the semi final. She lipsynced it in the final

[@sunflowerz_.]

ariana is releasing a new single this friday, will you check it out? 😊

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Really?

[@roitrou2870]

@@HonestVocalCoachhave you heard houdini by dua lipa

[@joshuagall100]

I wonder if this was her winners performance hence why she was out of breath at the start

[@bobbimcgrady1265]

This wasn't the winner's performance. This was her performance for the finale of FTK. I think the breathiness was because she was overcome with emotion or a difference in outfit from her first performance, because she was wearing something completely different the first time she performed this (night 1.)

[@blertashehu204]

Last year's Albanian Festival had huge huge issues with the sounds in general. The amplifiers, speakers, microphones and all this sort of elements were all problematic. All the singers had issues on stage while performing.

[@gaming_withmaya]

She is a great live singer but had technical problems. Revamp is gone be great ❤

[@Randomperson-cv4oo]

She had a different outfit when she first peformed it. You should check it out. There was probably a reason she changed it 😂

[@l_k619]

But let's be honest, the first outfit was better in a way, because she could move better in that dress. You can see the difference between the 2 performances.

[@jamesmaskell3743]

You can see the fire in the song but it needed a rework badly. Transferring to English was definitely better in terms of the musical flow. This is a great lesson, and early on so time to improve!

[@d.k.2202]

I admit I was expecting more focus on her vocals rather then her outfit lol. Anyway you tried your best as a vocal coach lol. Besa ❤

[@chriswald7700]

Meanwhile there's a revamped version in English. The new mix is an improvement but she should stick to the original lyrics in Albanian. That sounds much better.

[@michelleabramovich5153]

I agree with you! I totally love her and her song!!!

[@Relevart9169]

at first i really didn't like this song especially cuz Albania is usually one of my favs and always sends smth interesting, but after watching all of the other contestants they simply had to pick her, everything else was even worse sadly

[@beautifullife4924]

Elsa worse? Nah!

[@user-cd2ye4vr4t]

Its a great song😊 Albania will reach top 10 this year❤

[@jsantos4697]

GEORGINA STANNING ALBANIA THIS YEAR YASSSSSS

[@ABraga-p2q]

no way this tops france...you guys are out of your mind

[@mhdkrtsh4369]

Vocals are very weak. Song is a boring 2010 ballad.

[@DominikGuzowski]

vocals are very weak? ok lol

[@myhyrijexhafa6179]

This is the 5th year that I'm watching 👀 you react to Albanian eurovision songs. Surprisingly I hate your reactions. You have a personal issue with Albanians. You just hate the Albanians. Why? I just don't understand! Someone will know, and soon we will make it public.

[@stopinjorancestuaj]

Why I never liked your reactions for the Albanian songs? Are you just jealous because the girls from Albania always shine?

[@gencihoxha5349]

Her reactions is honest, the song sounds messy, the festival was poor this year. She gonna be 25 place this year.she is great singer ,but the song is :(

[@AJKostov]

Albania has sent so many amazing singers ect Ronela and albina and then they have gone and sent this let down

[@Michi-R10]

Ronela...Amazing singer? Is it a joke? Both songs are awful.

[@beautifullife4924]

​@Michi-R10 you are deaf and tasteless at the same time.

[@ΣωκράτηςΠαρίσης]

She could wear a burga in the performance, as far as I know it is common in muslim Albania

[@ready__]

I don't know if anybody tells u this but girl stop talking to much just enjoy and keep ur opinion about smth worth not every second about everything ur kind of not professionally

[@albertobilinica3394]

You talk to mutch 😂😂😂

[@Alex-g1x5s]

I’m almost sure that rapping part was a lip sync

[@Lyrics_F]

All contestants that participate in FiK sing live also there is an orchestra so that can not be lip syncing

[@jonikej]

Live every part of it

[@joseuribe9273]

@@Lyrics_Fthere’s still backing vocal playback. Look at the 2019/2022 winners. They had plenty of pre recorder backing vocals

[@luismiguelsousaduarte8234]

France have the best song in this moment

[@lovisalindstrom7920]

dramatic song to say the least. Wish that she will feel more comfortable in the semifinal.

[@MrCrayEgg]

Non qualifier!

[@mariovladimirozuni]

as an Albania you are very right, this song is atrocious
