"I would love to represent Albania again"
Albania: Anjeza's comeback in FiK
In a recent interview with the Albanian newspaper Shekulli.com.al talked about her busy life, about her studies at the European University in Tirana and about her comeback in FiK 48. " The song Pasqyrë e vetvetes (engl. mirror of yourself) I will sing in Festivali I Këngës 48 is written by Sokol Marsi. This year I have a song that suits my voice perfectly. It's a song that makes me feel very comfortable on stage."
"I am not curious anymore about Eurovision because I have already been there and I had a great time, but if my song deserves again the first place in FiK, I would love to represent Albania one more time at the Eurovision Song Contest." Anjeza says.
Anjeza Shahini represented Albania in their debut participation in 2004 not only managing to place fourth in the semi final but also achieving a respectable 7th place in the final, Albania's best placing so far with The image of you.
One more Albanian Eurostar is also competing again this year in Festivali I Kenges. Kejsi Tola represented Albania last year and she returns yet again with Ndonjëherë (Sometimes) written by singer and songwriter Voltan Prodani and the lyrics are by the famous artist Timo Flloko. According to the composer, the song is a classic love ballad with some strong dramatic notes.

I am not expecting Anjeza or Kejsi to win this year. There songs might be good , but not good enough to be the winners of the Festival.
The composers they both choose are average level. Songs singed on the Finals , but never any close to the Top Five or Ten.
Felt dissapointed with Anjeza . She has a great talent, voice and potential but not using it properly. She could have done masterpieces of Albanian Pop Music, but not getting anywhere closer.
I still remember the Finals at the ALBANIAN IDOL, where ANJEZA shined over Rosela, but right now I must say ROSELA has the lead. She grew so much professionally and brought to us fantastic and breathtaking songs.
I miss that ANJEZA. She has to show herself off and bring out the best of her. Hope this song is really good . It will be a pitty if not. Anjeza is simply amazing !!!
Still keeping fingers crossed for her presentation , but not expecting to be the winner !!!
My potential Winners are :
- JULIANA PASHA with ARDIT GJEBREA's song
- BESA KOKEDHIMA with PIRRO CAKO's song
Good chances for :
- ROVENA DILO with ENDRI SINA''s song
- GOLDI HALILI with AGIM KRAJKA's song ( Festival's Black horse , in my opinion )
it's so good to see her again 
Hope that Anjeza will win the national festival and represent Albania again!! She is the best voice in ALbania!
This woman is great, but I agree about Olta. Good luck Albania!
definitely the best of the best
don't even expect any better singer from Albania, she has a powerful voice that makes you shiver, she is very professional at the stage.
I am writing the opinion of milions and milions,
Anjeza, you are the best Albanian female singer,
she has better songs, this song is amazing. and she looks really good!!

Hope Kejsi wins again
she was so overrated...horrible tacky song. Best Albanese performer untill now was Olta by a mile ....
Immediately, I was like: "Firstly Image of you, now Mirror of yourself?" XD...anyway, Anjeza is my favorite representative of Albania, so I hope the song will be good and then, perhaps, we will see her at Oslo.
Oh great, the witch is back.
Seriously girl, you couldn't sing even if your life depended on it.
Here is my advice.
1) Grow up
2) Come and see me for a make-over
3) I'll give you my autograph.
xXx
'The Image of You' is still my favourite Albanian song. So, if she has a good song once again, welcome back! The problem is: sometimes artists come to Eurovision a 2nd time with a weaker and then they do as well as expected...
first 'image of you' ...and now 'mirror of yourself'!!!
common theme anyone? lol
I am not curious anymore about Eurovision because I have already been there and I had a great time
hmm there is something that I don't get in this statement at all... if Anjeza is not longer curious about Eurovision so why does she even care about it? why is she even going to compete at this year's FIK' 
honestly I hope Albania won't pick her, I hope the albanian people/juries will be smart enough to not choose her to Oslo...Anjeza's song is my least favourite albanian entry ever and that song could do very well because this one was a middle-average one in the middle of all weak entries that were sent to the ESC in that year...
Olta Boka is definetely my favourite and the best albanian entry ever and she was unfairly robbed... 
I'll look forward to watch Kejsi Tola, Mariza Ikonomi, Besa Kokedhima and Juliana Pasha perfoming and I just hope one of these lovely and talented women is going to get the ticket to Oslo 
I'll keep my fingers crossed for them 
no less than 3 weeks to FIK, can't wait for that!
I liked Kejsi Tola last year last year,she's also fine!good luck!
She was cute and had a nice uptempo song in 2004, but I think Olta Boka had much stronger performance. As for Kejsi Tola, she had a good vocal performance, but it looked messy, especially with the green Spiderman.
anjeza deserves to win....she is sooooooo eurovision
Her 2004 eurovision entry in albanian tasted better than the english verson, why did they bother to sing in english which ruined the song but it managed to do well with this young lady's voice
anjeza is back but i think juliana pasha deserves to go in eurovision
The only Albanian entry I didn't like was 2007. And I think Ledina should've performed in Albanian, I don't really like the english version of the song. :/
Good luck Albania and thank you for being the first ones to announce your entry.
@ Geraint UK
I thought exactly the same thing!! x)
I thought her entry was nice and it was in my top 10 that year but I prefered their entries in 2006, 2008 and 2009 much more. Their 2005 entry is my favourite so far. 2007 was horrible though.
Best of luck to Albania!! 
I didn't like her in Eurovision at all, her voice or the song. Olta Boka was much better.
You go girl!!! 
i don't know why but her song in 2004 was my least favourite albanian entry ever.
Same here until Kejsi's song was even worse. Favs from Albania: Ledina Çelo and Olta Boka.
she was nice in 2004 but she will need much stronger song and performance to get into finals.. because Eurovision is much harder than ever..
I think Kejsi should represent Albania again cos she was very underrated last year and I believe she can score much better xD Anyway GOOD LUCK
I hope she will go to Oslo next year for Albania
... and I would love to see Albania represented by her again...
