Shkodra Elektronike "Zjerm" Reaction | 🇦🇱 Festivali i Këngës 63 WINNER (Albania Eurovision 2025)

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

Thank you so much for watching -- I really enjoyed reacting to this masterpiece.

[@BobaBenjamin88]

I never get why people think generic pop would do better at Eurovision then ethnical magical bops. I LOVE ZJERM

[@srsalgado8907]

And where is the magic boop?

[@valonk4377]

How does Ethnic Albanians song did in results (16-20) place

[@BobaBenjamin88]

@ the instrumentals

[@BobaBenjamin88]

@ Elvana Gjata was going to be the next Albina. It was not a good pop song. Even good pop song score bad. Look at firefighter last year.

[@murtezs8744]

Ethnical bops did good in the past?

[@RedHead-w8u]

Nailed it when you said: she's free, real, no artifice, no showbizz, authentic. They offered the magic of real art, whose aim is not the show or the prize. I hope they dont get infected by showbizz in the near future..

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

Thank you, Red Head! I love how she is keeping it real.

[@diellibetim]

This is unbelievable 😮😊 I was scared they would give the victory to Elvana, while this was the surprise of the year and am so proud of Albania for giving the victory to someone who deserves ❤ SHNDRIT ✨✨✨✨✨

[@uneti463]

I am proud too, I had given up, and then this gift came ❤

[@arisantoniou]

I so happy for Shkodra Elektronike! Great choice

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

Albania did itself proud. This is gonna be so good in Basel.

[@gazmendibrahimi4864]

First time im happy and proud what my country sent in Eurovision lol ❤️ shndrit shndrit shndrit (shine, shine, shine)

[@Wiwibloggs]

It’s a brilliant act. Congrats 👏

[@frenkiruci6252]

Albanian had an opportunity to be represented by such an unique and original duo and they did it! 🇦🇱

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

Such a moment for them. Wishing the group all the best.

[@Arta6381]

Looove Zjerm! Congratulations. Well deserved!

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

AGREE!

[@annip5573]

Albania made a lot of people happy tonight.

[@uneti463]

yesssssss

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

Still smiling!

[@EclipseHighroller]

But it made more unhappy. It’s not qualifying

[@escrijad4183]

Devastated for Elvana but Zjerm is so magical! This is such a quality song!

[@n.it21]

DESERVED!!! 🇦🇱🇦🇱

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

Such a great win!

[@blercoli2184]

First time I’m so proud of my country representing us. Beautiful unique song. Love the interpretation.

[@Wiwibloggs]

What a wonderful feeling. I am glad you have it!

[@ariolaavdiu13]

Fr first time Im in tears🥹

[@saltybiscuit6872]

Albania didnt let us down. Im pleasantly surprised they managed to win while a bigger artist like elvana was participating. my favourite albanian entry ever and im looking forward to the revamp and the elevated staging

[@volkangurbuz701]

Omg I cannot believe that they just won🥰

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

Defying the odds and SLAYING!

[@eurovisiontalk3910]

Fantastic art. Can´t wait to see how they bring it to life at Eurovision ❤

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

It really is art! So mesmerizing. ❤

[@jacob.basque]

SUPER DESERVED!!! YES ALBANIA!!! Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸❤🇦🇱

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

❤❤❤❤

[@Ria-y2j]

You are so damn right ! Their performance was magic

[@kuashiku.]

I LOVE THAT THE BEST SONG WON!!!

[@Wiwibloggs]

I love that Albania got behind this!

[@ma.slourenco]

Let’s just not forget that Eurovision is a song contest, and it means that the awesome upbeat pop song and fabulous staging are, most of the times, not enough for the public and the jury. Albanians had to send a representative song of their country, and i think they did. They're being real for who they are, as william wisely says. Huge congrats for Shkodra and a big congrats for Elvana too. Good competition.

[@dariosinanish]

This is art people.. If u wanna keep hearing trash and commercial sh** go and listen to Elvana.. There are thousands of her in this world.. But not many as Shkodra elektronike

[@bj-bd8zr]

This is a great representation for Albania! Love them!

[@Wiwibloggs]

Truly great!

[@volim_piletinu]

Im so happy for them YESSS

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

I share your joy!

[@lauravision2791]

With Karnaval there was just something missing, and it wasn’t really authentic, but this is more interesting so I think Albania have made the right choice!

[@Wiwibloggs]

Totally agree with you.

[@AA-zo5kp]

Great reaction, lots of love from Albania.

[@eoghandowney537]

Albania 🇦🇱 is going to the final. Really good song.

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

I totally agree. They will do well! ❤

[@Nash-NYC]

Love it!!! Bravo Albania, I am over the moon for this song 🙌🏻❤️

[@ESCTalalay]

So deserved!!!!

[@kamilak.1248]

I'm so happy they won! And I'm happy that so many people are happy about it! ❤ 🔥 Great choice, Albania! Shndrit!

[@IceFireSoul]

Elvana Gjata is diva of Albanian music, no doubt about it! But in this competition, with the sing she came, had no chance! If she would have not been this much famous as she is, she probably would have not win even the 3rd place. Her fame gave her the 2nd place and the art behind the Shkodra Electronike song, gave them The deserved 1st place! At one point they will lose due to Elvana being so famous, but my Albos did not disappoint, they gave their vote and support to the song that absolutely deserved it!

[@meriton7468]

With the right staging top 10 is guaranteed. Originality, ART.. her stage presence is INSANE. Her 15 second choreo gives me Salvador Sobral hand-choreography vibes; very original and magical. Can't wait to see this in May

[@besmirvokopola5769]

ZJERMMMMMMMMM LOVE THEM! THEY ARE REAL GEMS. Chatgpt tranlsation: the phrase aman miserere matches the arab and the christian culture! It says: krijo me mua nje zemer tpaster (let's build together a pure heart). It is a message against wars, it calls for all sorts of freedoms. Here you have the lyrics translated (chatgpt so not 100% accurate) Even today they told us That the weather won’t change. I ended up underwater, Never did I speak a word. Imagine a minute Without soldiers, Without orphans. Not a single bottle in the ocean. Diesel smells like flowers. Freedom of speech Is taught in school. Create with me a pure heart. In my night, I send you the light. AMAN MISERERE ! AMAN MISERERE! In my heart, In our hearts. This minute will continue. The good people, The people without names, Dance in the soul. I was born on you, my land, Where I was born, I will never forget. I was born on you, my land, Keep shining for me, Shine, shine, shine...

[@C555_1]

I hope it does well !!! Good luck to them !!! She is amazing

[@behijemuzaqi7200]

Goooo Shkodra you deserved to win this , and wish you the best in world , Go Albaniaaaaaa🇦🇱🔥🔥

[@hermannivision6222]

Agree, the instrumentation, especially the drumming and brass have a massive and an anciently haunting sound to it! I can only Imagine it vibrating through the Basel arena, bewitching the viewers

[@robbertl.6339]

It's time for a new era with S Elektronike. Elvana is more an exponent of the nillies. Old fashioned uptempo. Congratulations to the winner.

[@rajmondabanushi9224]

I adore your analyse even you don't know any words in shkodran dialect ,you describe so magically what sb feels while listening to the song"ZJERRM".It means "FIRE". ADORABLE AND SO UNIQUE.

[@Wiwibloggs]

Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to watch this.

[@simonkarsten272]

Somewhat expected Deban barging in and expressing his disinterest in the song. But praise from William is very much appreciated 👍

[@luetaprevazi6024]

Shndrit , shndrit , shndrit , shndrit -Shine , shine , shine , shine 🙏🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱❤

[@Wheresthelobster]

They must make the performance much more mystical and they will be in top 10

[@rabijeulaj3914]

Bellissimaaaa.... e mirezgjedhur per EUROVIZION !!! Me ne fund nje kenge qe perfaqeson fiks Shqiperine. ❤

[@Wiwibloggs]

Just beautiful!

[@Ravenfire379]

I was crying 🥹❤️🔥

[@tobiz1922]

Montenegro and Albania set the bar very high!

[@TheBardylis]

You have nailed buddy! Such accurate interpretation of what this song really is. On the other hand, this song really amazed me. I so much hope they get to the top five in Eurosong finals

[@czechistan_zindabad]

THIS. IS. ALBANIA. 🇦🇱 LET'S GO ZJERM!

[@user-qg5tn7bf2p]

Very very very very happy that they won ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@babevane4104]

honestly surprised by albania, that’s a really good song. it works.

[@RR-bg5po]

Deserved 🔥🔥🔥

[@esckesch]

I’m absolutely beyond happy that Shkodra won. Don’t get me wrong, Elvana would have been a great song, however a song like this doesn’t come around much, and when it does, it has to go Eurovision!

[@Wiwibloggs]

You're absolutely right. This song feels very special.

[@Ddggjjtrasdkkloll]

Zjerm🔥

[@Wiwibloggs]

FIRE HONEY!

[@anisabala]

Zjerm is fire. They should not translate, just some part of it may be. Anche Shndrit, shndrit shndrit is shine shine shine

[@Wiwibloggs]

🔥

[@uneti463]

I see them winning Eurovision with lil tweeks. She is a firecracker! She is the freakin energy herself! She generates it!

[@Wiwibloggs]

Firecracker is a fantastic way to describe this.

[@sav0001]

O chance Albania with a song like this, they should be happy if they even get top 10-15

[@ErvisDancer]

@wiwibloggs Zjerm - Fire in Albanian Nothern dialect shndrit - shine ... My favorite won this year and I am sure we will do great in the FINALS ❤

[@teananajj]

"Zjerm" by Shkodra Elektronike is an extraordinary musical masterpiece that promises to captivate the stage at Eurovision 2025. With its rare sounds and a unique blend of traditional Albanian elements and contemporary electronic music, "Zjerm" symbolizes the strength, passion, and rebellious spirit of Albanian culture. What Makes "Zjerm" Special? Authentic Albanian Rhythms: The sounds of the çifteli and epic music motifs from Shkodra are interwoven with deep electronic bass and energetic beats, creating a strikingly original soundscape. Enchanting Vocals: With a voice that oscillates between power and emotion, the vocalist delivers a performance that touches the heart and inspires action. Lyrics with a Strong Message: "Zjerm" speaks of transformation and inner strength. Featuring poetic verses in Albanian and interjections in English, the song reaches an international audience without losing its authentic identity. Musical Innovation: The fusion of folklore and electronic music brings something fresh and unexpected to the Eurovision stage. National Identity: "Zjerm" represents Albanian pride and heritage, making it a song that will resonate and stay in the minds of listeners. Universal Message: With lyrics like "The fire within you, the power to change the world," the song inspires the audience to embrace change and passion. Is "Zjerm" Ready to Ignite Eurovision? This will be a historic moment for Albanian music and a new spotlight for Shkodra Elektronike on the international stage!

[@nitak8723]

Loveee them❤

[@AlernusKaraoke]

It has some European traditional soundings in it, something that is missing in ESC because of the commercialism. Has some influences from Scandinavian or Enigma though.

[@zemonsta-z1e]

I couldn't be happier. 💃🔥🕴️

[@megituci3649]

i am Albanian: and she is singing to the earth, people of our land and this song is a mixed of electronic music and our instrument called "lahuta" and hope we go to the finals with such a good creation❤‍🔥 🇦🇱🔥

[@chizzy8511]

I swear I'll be pissed if you don't! My absolute fave from Albania ever, keeping my fingers crossed and phone ready to vote in May 🇵🇱❤️🇦🇱

[@megituci3649]

@ 🙏 thank u

[@Aliraxesc]

Eurovision 2025 will be great 🤍🇦🇱

[@marinew4765]

Go Albania 🇦🇱 ❤

[@anduelalaho7417]

Where Deban at lol I loved FIK this year we have to give a big round of applause to elhaida the girl really sent albania in 2024 - 2025 era instead of being stuck with the old not only musically but stage too just bravo

[@malvinapergega4054]

Deserved❤

[@emiljardmuhametaj5189]

Zjerm🇦🇱🔥🔥

[@D.H.Alb.24]

I hope they won’t change the lyrics in English because that would totally ruin the beauty of the song! For me is a top 10 in ESC 2025 ❤ 🇦🇱

[@anduelalaho7417]

I think they won’t 🥰

[@teananajj]

In this moment, in this instant With paranoia After the rain, the world seems like a rainbow No ambulance around No one speaks with arrogance And today they told us That the weather won’t break. I ended up underwater But my mouth never dried. Imagine a minute Without soldiers, Without orphans. No bottle in the ocean. Oil smells like lilac. Freedom of speech Is taught in schools. Create within me a pure heart. In my night, I send you the light. Aman miserere. Aman miserere. In my heart. In my soul. This minute will continue. The good people. The nameless ones. Dance in spirit. Jarna ne ti, my land, Where I was born, I’ll never forget. Jarna ne ti, my land, Keep shining on me. Shine, shine, shine… Fire! Fall upon our tribal dances, Roaring like an avalanche tumbling down mountains. Fire! The nameless and the pure, The broken ones fall Like seven knives piercing the soul. Fire! Here sleeps the sea, the sand, and the moon. And we can’t see the stars because the stars are crushed underfoot. As we wander in confusion. Fire! We hunger for flame and light, And we search... In this Darkness that refuses to Shine. Create within me a pure heart. In my night, I send you the light. Aman miserere. Aman miserere. In my heart. In my soul. This minute will continue. The good people. The nameless ones. Dance in spirit. Jarna ne ti, my land, Where I was born, I’ll never forget. Jarna ne ti, my land, Keep shining on me.

[@Wiwibloggs]

Beautiful words.

[@wolfwolf9326]

Amazing song ❤12 points from Poland

[@alesia4494]

the lyrics are amazing also, never been so proud as an Albanian

[@frissaalimeri1397]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 YEEEESSSSS!

[@enta2891]

Deserved winner 🥇

[@GospodinNelson]

Albanians love that 16th place in the grand final so much 😍

[@uneti463]

this is a top 5 material, your shitty judgment is not convincing!

[@mhdkrtsh4369]

We don't care about the places in Eurovision. We are happy to be represented by Shkodra Elektronike rather than cheap Romanian Brazilian Karnaval song. .

[@GospodinNelson]

​​@@uneti463 Yeah TOP 5 like with Jonidah?? 😂

[@Online_offline91]

Zjerm means fire.Go ALBANIA❤🇦🇱

[@Wiwibloggs]

They are bringing that heat!

[@n.br32]

Zjerm mean Fire.

[@Wiwibloggs]

I feel the warmth!

[@Excamtrik]

Le vrai danger c'est que cette chanson si géniale peut vraiment rêver un bon résultat, cependant il y a une certaine ressemblance avec Ulveham (non pas dans la chanson mais dans un sorte de style ethnique est immensément puissant mais aussi potentiellement trop ethnique et peu réaudible) et on connait l'issue de cette histoire... J'ai bien peur de cette issue voire pire, est-ce que l'Europe saura apprécier à sa juste valeur Zjerm... On le saura dans 5 mois ! Vive l'Albanie de 2025, elle s'est sortie de ses travers !

[@stormrunner3358]

Je pense que l'europe vas aimer cette melodie , son caractere pour moi represente beacoup les femmes du nord et l'Albanie traditionelle avant les Otomans.

[@kamilak.1248]

People compare Zjerm to Ulveham and to Eaea, well I think the major difference is that those two had very unpleasant, intrusive vocals, unlike Zjerm, with nice deep vocals and melody. I Hope they'll do well. Such a unique and powerful entry!

[@Excamtrik]

@@kamilak.1248 croisons les doigts !

[@polmarin06]

Albania NQ. With Elvana they have top 5 in eurovision

[@MariaM-zh6bg]

I love it! Schkodra, don't translate to English for ESC. I love different languages in Eurovision. Zjerm is magic!❤

[@Wiwibloggs]

I agree. Keep it authentic. That's why this is so special!

[@enxhigjinishiiii]

❤🎉

[@MinaHoxhaj]

zjerm 🔥

[@bob6597]

I really like this song but I have a feeling that this might have a similar result to Gåte from last year, they kind of have similar vibes so I feel like they might place similarly but I really hope this does well🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

[@gmr6898]

I guess every song that is experimental and unique will do bad in the contest unless it comes from Ukraine...We shouldn't be making those comparisons!

[@emis7272]

That thought passed my mind too, but I have high hopes for Zjerm 🤞

[@acgtalks6090]

I cant believe Elvana came 2nd again...Im so sad

[@mhdkrtsh4369]

She should bring quality into festival.

[@erionplays1]

I needed elvana to win so bad bro this is insane. Elvana is NEVER gonna come back again

[@lovemeamerica]

No shade but if she wanted to win she should've had a better song

[@vickiguims9476]

​@lovemeamerica Nah for real..... Returning Artists should always come Back with a better song , if they're Not then no one should be surprised when they don't win thier National final or they don't do well at Eurovision 🤷🏽‍♀️being popular or having a big name can only get you so far

[@diellibetim]

She maybe will come with a better song

[@gaborfeltoti5539]

I think the song was winning worthy, but the performance..so lazy, also it didn’t help her that it was all acoustic which is FiK’s thing. Anyways I’m really happy for Zjerm❤

[@Sunshine-uk7yo]

It’s ok. It’s time for new artists to shine.

[@wellplayed9635]

Elvana can try for san marino I guess 😂😂😂

[@itsok-i3i]

❤❤❤

[@user-cd2ye4vr4t]

Nq for sure , Justice for Elvana

[@bebero1310]

Weird at first listening..let us see what is happening later

[@klausbeqiri3085]

Deserved

[@drllama2953]

Unfortunately, I don't feel like this is gonna do well. It's gonna have the same effect as 2019 Portugal, way to weird and out of the box and the part where the man starts singing.... This is just no

[@Karl-f6z]

ELVANA BETTER INTERNAL SELECTED FOR 🇦🇱

[@Jme_hde]

I fear this will have the same outcome as Bulgaria 2013 and Bosnia & Herzegovina 2016 at Eurovision…

[@gmr6898]

It gives me Bulgaria 2007 tbh

[@EclipseHighroller]

If this is your fave Albania entry ever, are you ok? Are you under duress cause this isn’t even in the top 10 Albanian entries.

[@albertcorderoV]

Elvana should have won🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@escziva69]

Nah

[@albertcorderoV]

@ Elvana 🥲

[@EclipseHighroller]

Unless there’s major changes, I don’t think this is qualifying

[@tilltil09]

How about stop talking and let people listen to it I am out of here to find the actual video itself 🙄🙄🙄

[@EdisonAfmeti]

Elvana😢😢

[@taskview224]

"It's own world" in other words an impenetrable traditional sound which will not get votes from around Europe other than the Albanian diaspora. Great art but......

[@Wiwibloggs]

Sometimes representation is the win though. Let's see how it pans out!

[@deneml3836]

Just no no

[@DeeDee-XO]

OMG wtf is this! Yll Limani should've entered this year with his new song DJE and WIN. .

[@2011endi]

This is why many countries refused to participate in Eurovision song contest. So worse. The winner is the worse ever song

[@jennypears3081]

NQ 😊

[@MrGiancana]

Her voice is not really impressive - its quite weak

[@dariosinanish]

I guess you wanted to write that to Elvanas song and just exchanged the videos...
