All Albanian entries are unique, they have their own style, everything is amazing when it comes from them. I wasn't a huge fan of this song, BUT this revamp is beyond amazing. 👏🏻♥️

[@maraj8215]

Way better than original!! she has a great voice and the instrumentals are beautiful, I can see it making it to the final with no problem. Albania sending a great song again after the great entries of Genti and Jonida!! Good luck Albanian friends and greetings from Venezuela!!

[@albancal2002]

Supporting Venezuela all the way! 💪💪

Let’s go I finally like a Eurovision song to the point I can’t stop playing it 8am till 10pm on constant 😍 Love it from Portugal 🇵🇹

i proad to be Albania love my Country Albania and love you my diva Anxhela peresteri te dua shummm suksese zemer

[@michii28]

In my opinion the best Albanian revamp in recent years. The FiK version was not bad, but partially it felt incomplete. The new version filled those holes, the instrumentation is way more modern and put the cultural influence to a new level. Although this is overall an improvement, in a few parts is too much happening (especially the part beginning at 3:28 , where I personally like the original better).

[@User12345fan]

The instrumentals are better than the orginal and sounds more modern.

[@Charlotte1333]

I’m just so relieved that they kept it in Albanian. Translating it to english usually ruins the song for me. I like the build up in the song👌🏻

[@loicdarenne2153]

She was last in my top before the revamp but now she gain place hours by hours 💁🏻‍♂️

[@Wiwibloggs]

That's a good sign!

[@acuario1981]

Trust Albania to give us Ethnic/Soulful ballad sang by a STUNNING GIRL. Love , love , love it. BUT, Imma need them VOCALS to be on point and a FLAWLESS staging. This could either be Ledina Celo 2005 or Conchita Wurst! Very provocative entry that most definitely will qualify to the Finals.

[@maviblue8697]

Ok,but I was living for that make up and hair deban 🥺🥺🥺

[@Wiwibloggs]

I, William, also LOVE it! It was appropriate to the music video. She slayed all aspects here.

[@AntoFalconFire]

This is the natural evolution of Jonida 2019

[@filipecruz1681]

Jonida was top-notch. Pure class. This is not an evolution to me...

[@benjaminpreetz]

I really liked the old version.. But this is in fire 🔥 truly a masterpiece definitely in my top 5 now ❤️

[@yasinolgun8420]

As a Turkish İ thought the same thing. That rytym is so close to our traditional sounds i would have vote for her if we had chance to compate again

[@MrFlkas]

Albanian language is so sexy and spesiel👍❤️

[@Sk88p]

OMG this IS a revamp! I already liked the original, but this has been elevated for sure . Dang! Plus she looks gorgeous in this MV. Deban killed me with his comments about her look. Yes it is allot, but she can handle it. But yes it does lean more towards a remix song now.

[@TiagoSilvaESC]

Love it! Thanks Albania for showing Europe your traditions.

[@Wiwibloggs]

Totally agree with you.

[@efigjika]

William have you changed your hairstyle? Anxhela is the best 🇦🇱 she will probably win 🏆 C’mon let’s do this 💜🔥😘

[@Wiwibloggs]

I have! Salons are closed so I have to grow it out. But now I like it better 🤩

[@dimitriskanteres2623]

Love the revamp. Much kisses to William and Deban😘❤️

[@ronnopotter]

This is like a bubble in water. It just went quickly up to the surface of my personal ranking.

[@jutjubow]

I agree it's a great revamp but I also agree with Deban on it being slightly overcooked.

[@riinak7212]

Very nice, I like it. Not sure if it'll qualify yet because I don't know all of the songs in the semi-final but it's in with a chance! The revamp is great and her voice is amazing. I hope we do get an English version somewhere down the line (I know, I know...) but this should definitely be in Albanian in the contest. It works so well in Albanian. That wind instrument line sounds so familiar, though...kinda like "Supergirl" from Stefania last year. I am a fan, and need to learn how to sing along in Albanian! I hope it goes through!

[@krisandres2011]

The revamp version sounds expensive!

[@Malcolm-C99]

At first listen I was likemeh but now I can say it slays like Jonida Maliqi's song

[@fatmirarrapaj4553]

We know Deban likes a song when he gets his drink ;p

[@talkasantino277]

Really amazing. Albania is in the second half of the semi final so hopefully they will her close the show cause this is well deserved. It will elevate even more cause she is an amazing performer 😘❤️🇦🇱

07:22 Her black and gold jacket reminded me of a top that Joan Collins or Linda Evans would have worn in a 1980s episode of "Dynasty" complete with the big shoulders. I'm not saying that as an insult. I love it! ❤

This song has Balkan Vibes and I like it.

[@user-cd2ye4vr4t]

Its just AMAZING ❤🇦🇱

[@5Julius]

Wow - I didn't like the original version AT ALL! But i love this revamp :D

[@donalokeeffe7504]

It's definitely better than the original but it's still a little ordinary. The chorus is nice an ethnic but I find the verse a little weak. I agree with deban on the hair and make up. If she was a little edgier with the styling the video and the staging going forward would a could be interesting.

[@mattspintosmith5285]

Yes to the embroidered jacket and trousers :-)

[@tijanapantic8650]

That instrumental drop is sooo like last year Greek drop Supergirl :D Weird no one's commenting it :D

[@cysterforever1861]

how do they react separately and not talk at the same time?

[@riinak7212]

The power of video editing 😊 (and maybe video and/or phone chats we’re not seeing)

[@Wiwibloggs]

We have really different schedules at the moment (William works overnight 2130 to 0730) so it’s impossible for us to film together right now. But when we cut away it’s usually because one person is talking over the other.

[@EduartMuca]

Hey guys i LIKE the way how you react 😃. One is like an angel and the other have some bad thoughts on his mind (but in general i like his comments as he want to see the best). Guys do you agree that the new version is way much better than the first???

I was about to choreograph in Fik 59 for 2 artists but because I live in Athens there was no way to fly to Albania. I have been in a TV show with Anxhela and I know her personally ( Wiwi can contact me for more details 😋 ). I think she will reach the final but will be vanished as usual. Albania needs a young artist to totally slay and get rid of ballads. 😊

[@semper9565]

I agree about the makeup 💄 I don't like this song although William you explained it well 🌻

I like the electronic arrangement with folk instruments. That's all. The rest is typical for an average level of taste in lands after decades of some kind of oppression. The worst is her white gown look, and the black eye model boy who couldn’t possibly be the man she's mad about.

The first part of the song is great with the added Turkish dancing but after that it becomes messy. Noisy, too many instruments. Unnecessary changes.
