Eurovision 2009: The Albania Interview

esctoday.com's René Romkes caught up with Albania's Kejsi Tola between rehearsals in Moscow, and the young singer shared some of her Eurovision Song Contest experiences so far.

Kejsi was asked about various aspects of the Albanian presentation at this year's contest, and in particular defends the choice to sing in English rather than Albanian. "If you can do it, you have to do it in Eurovision so that everyone can understand."

Too busy to have seen much of Moscow itself yet, Kejsi's experience however seems a very positive one so far, and the Albanian team and its supporters will be hoping for even better things to come at the second semifinal on 14th May.

Watch the full interview below:

@ Oh my love Kejsi!!! I agree , sometimes , it's better to sing the song in english , so that the rest Europe understands too.
BUT! Not always do we want to understand some songs' lyrics!!!
EBU bring back that language rule only for countries like UKRAINE immediately!!!

BEST WISHES TO ALBANIA!!!!
1.000.000 votes at least from Greece!!(if only every Albanian voted at least twice!!!)
FAT E MIRE !
