Luiz confident of final top ten

At his second press conference today, Luiz Ejjli stated that things are going well for the Albanian team, and he is not only confident of making the final, but making the final top ten of the contest.

Confident Luiz added that the standard of competition this year is very high in his opinion, but he refused to be drawn on his own personal favourites "for ethical reasons".

He and his performers are indeed giving solid rehearsals in the arena at OAKA, and the presentation is much the same as the first rehearsal on Thursday. There still seemed to be occasional problems with sound levels, however, and Luiz did look uncomfortable at one point, removing his earpiece. The backing vocals seemed overpowering at times, particularly in the bridge sections between chorus and verse. It is now down to the semifinal dress rehearsals to make sure that everything is absolutely perfect for the big night.

Music, not politics
Just as with other competitors choosing to sing in a language other than English, Luiz was quizzed about the choice of Albanian for the entry. His reply won a round of applause from the press: "Music has no language. It's a feeling. You can express it in any way.". He continued "we make music, not politics. The world would be a better place if we all did the same."

Bottom line people, Luiz sucked! And this makes me very happy...you can find all the excuses in the world to change that, fact remains LUIZ EJLLI DID NOT GO THROUGH THE FINAL!

Whoohoo, Helsinki 2007!! New chapter, new songs, new thrills.....

Good luck to everyone, see you all in December with FIK 45 (or an internal selection, even better!) Hopefully, a superb winner.....hopefully Elsa Lila decides to compete and win this thing for us! We wanna see TIRANA 2008! :) :) :) :)

No I didn't read it all. It's not hard to imagine what you're gonna write. Yeah right you are the best at everything. Too bad you're the only one saying that to yourself. Any way this topic has started to bore me, so good luck with your reviews.

Oh yeah? And what about you? Cuz obviously if I have time to write about Luiz, and you have time to read what I write and reply to it...hmmm, shows about your own life.

Yes, I swore I was gonna go all the way with my views on Zjarr E Ftohte, from the moment it won, and when I want to crucify something.....I do it better than Satan. ;)

Cool Exco
Skam pare njeri me e mare kaq seriozisht punen e Luizit. Po pastaj se nuk fitoi. Kenga qe fitoi s'vlente 2 lek dhe pothuajse ghithe shtetet i dhane pike. Si mbas teje kush e pelqen kengen e Luizit eshte injorant? If you really had a life s'kishe per te pasur kohe me shkruar romane. It seams to me that you even dream at night about Luiz, can't stop talking about him.

Dritan, you're the one who needs to get a new life...a life that is 180 degrees different from the one you have right now. How do I know? Just look at what you're saying!

Eshte krejtesisht e pabesueshme gjithcka qe ke shkruar aty, dhe se sa shtete te tera ke nen-vleresuar vetem qe t'a besh Luiz Ejllin te duket si ndonje princ te Belair-it! Shqiperia as qe nuk i vinte te maja e gishtit kengeve dhe performancave qe u paraqiten ne Eurovision kete vit! Zeri i Luizit si fillim...une nuk e di se me c'fare veshesh e degjoni ju te tjeret, po ai duket sikur ja kane shpelare kordat vokale me acid sulfurik!

Shqiptaret ne Greqi u ndjene krenar? Me fal, po cila pjese e Shqiptareve ne Greqi. Se duhet te merret vesh edhe niveli te pakten. Se tani, nuk diskutohet...nje pjese e madhe e emigranteve nga fshatet e malet sigurisht qe jane ndjere krenar, fundja nuk eshte se jane ekspozuar me ndonje repertor kushedi se c'fare gjate jetes se tyre. Megjithate, kam pershtypjen se grupi Shqiptar qe e ka shijuar jeten dhe gjithcka qe ka per te ofruar jashte mjedisit te limituar provincial, nuk kane ndjere ndonje krenari te vecante kur kane pare Luizin ne Athine me nje paraqitje laparakesh.

Kenga ishte ndryshe. Hmmm, shume kenge ishin ndryshe aty dhe ja dolen mbane. Pse i ra gjithe kjo fatkeqesi e madhe Luizit dhe jo te tjereve? Heh.

Pastaj, me duket se ti Dritan nuk e ke idene se cilat jane formulat fituese te Eurovisionit. Mos kujton gje se Eurovisioni eshte Festivali i Kenges ku kendohet akoma me stativ dhe kengetari leviz kembet nje here ne mijvjecar? Eurovisioni bazohet ne performanca qe jane dinamike, kengetare me zera te fuqishem e te plote, perfeksionizem, koreografi te mahnitshme dhe unike.

Anjeza Shahini. Po, le te flasim rreth Anjeza Shahinit. E ke pare mire ti Anjezen se c'fare prezence magjike qe ka? Nje shikim i saj te deporton mes per mes edhe te del nga ana tjeter! Buzeqeshja e saj te ben per vete! Menyra se si leviz eshte elegante dhe e fuqishme ne te njejten kohe.

Anjezes nuk i duhet shume per t'a dominuar skenen, dhe kjo eshte cilesia e saj me e madhe! Sigurisht qe zeri gjithashtu e ka ndihmuar. Megjithate, prape e 7-ta doli. Pse?? Sepse Eurovisioni i ve SHUME rendesi performances! Sot ti mund t'a urresh nje kenge, ndersa me pas kur e shef me nje performance te fuqishme ne skene, ti e adhuron ate kenge!!

E c'fare kishte aq speciale performanca e Luizit? Gajden e vjetersuar apo rrobat e Gabit? Une nuk e di si je ne gjendje qe te krahasosh punen qe beri Luizi me te tjeret! Meqe paska qene aq i mire ky Luizi jot i dashur, po sikur te ishte gjithe Eurovisioni ashtu sic ishte Luizi.....ti kujton se do kishte dale ndonje konkurs i realizuar?? Une jam i sigurte qe Europa nuk do kishte konkuruar me ne ate konkurs nqs te gjithe kenget do ishin aq te "bukura" sa ajo e Luizit!

Pastaj ti Dritan, nuk ishe ti i njejti qe me the mua "Ma ha karin!" :) :)

Kjo shprehje e jotja e ben shume here me te lehte per mua te kuptoj se pse ty te pelqeu kaq shume alabakeria e goditur e Shqiperise ne Eurovizion kete vit. Fundja, nuk eshte faji jot! :)

Kete vit, une kam vene re nje realitet shume te shumtuar tek te gjithe Shqiptaret! Ishte hera e pare per mua te shihja se si nje komb arriti t'a ktheje ndjenjen e patriotizmit ne nje injorance totale! Jo vetem qe arritet te ofendonit fituesit e vertete te Festivalit te Kenges duke harruar padrejtesine qe ju be.....po gjithashtu e bete Luiz amatorin mbret fare, na doli Luizi qe sapo fitoi konkursin e talenteve, me i mire se profesionistet qe kane dekada ne industrine e muzikes. Pse? Se ishte Shqiperia! Dhe o burra...

Gjithcka qe demostruat ishte injorance, dhe rezultatet e Eurovizionit ja vune vulen! Nuk mund te dilni ju me te zgjuar se miliona votues, opinioni i shumices mbizoteron.

Tani le t'a harrojme kete episod horrori dhe te mendojme per 2007, dhe si do bejme per te zgjedhur nje kengetar qe do jete ne gjendje te na perfaqesoje denjesisht dhe qe te jete ne gjendje te sfidoje me te miret!! Pas 2 humbjesh kolosale, na duhet pa tjeter nje Top 10 ose edhe Top 5.

Gjithashtu duhet menduar edhe per nje sponsorizim ndryshe nga ai i ketij viti qe nuk eshte ne doren e TVSH! Ndryshe, ne lluce do na bjere faqja te tereve!!

Russia,Rumania,Armenia po...ato ishin dicka per te thene.nese Carola perdori nje fustan sa skena...boy change the point of view.couse it's sucks.

Pas resultateve te votimeve, u duk qarte pse Luiz Ejlli u skualifkua.

Ai ishte ne vend te 14-te, dhe kjo vetem fale pikeve te dhena nga shtetet e Ballkanit, ose nga shtetet me numer shume te madh Shqiptaresh. Perndryshe do kishte perfunduar ne fund fare. Kjo nuk eshte aspak arsye krenarie per te, sepse nqs dikush e meriton te fitoje...nuk rri e mbledh qindarkat se he kush po me jep 2 pike ketu e 5 pike atje, po pret qe te marre pike nga c'do cep i Europes. Po te jesh i forte, i merr piket nga te gjithe, jo vetem nga populli yt, qe do s'do, patriotizmi ja verbon syte dhe mergimi i ben te votojne pasi ndjejne mall.

Ja e zeme Bosnia & Herzegovina...kengen e kishte shume te bukur! Sigurisht, mori pike nga komshite...po mori pike edhe nga shume vende te tjera! Pse? Sepse ishte kenge klas! Pse nuk e beri dot Luizi kete gje, meqe e meritonte kaq shume??

Me ate konkurrence qe kishte kete vit, Luizi ishte i fundit fare! Ndersa kete vit, per sa i perket votimit te bere nga Shqiperia, mendova se votimi ishte mese i persosur. 8 Greqia, 10 Suedia, 12 Bosnia & Herzegovina...dhe faktikisht, jam i mendimit se ky duhet te ishte TOP 3 kete vit! Jo ato mostrat qe fituan!

Vitin tjeter, Shqiperia mos bej gabim te zgjedhi amatore ose njerez te ngathet, se do lene nam! Duhet nje kengetar me ze te fuqishem, por qe ne te njejten kohe di edhe se si te levize ne skene. Duhet plastike, duhet energji, duhet komunikim i persosur me kameren dhe publikun, duhet nje koreografi mbrese-lenese qe ne momentin e pare!!

Eurovision kete gje ka, qe ne momentin e pare duhet te lesh impresion te fuqishem. Finlanda kishte maskat, Rusia kishte gruan te pjano, Bosnia kishte kontrastin e skenes, Romania qe ne fillim ja plasi me HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...dhe me pas refrenin ne Italisht "Tornero", Suedezja me fustanin sa gjithe skena dhe eren e fuqishme.

C'fare kishim ne? Nje burre me gajde, ca cuna te veshur me rroba pazari...nje ze pa ngjyre qe ne fillim te kenges. Hajde hajde! Ku ka me turp se kaq? Edhe te duash t'a kerkosh edhe nuk e gjen dot!

Shpresoj qe vitin tjeter, kenga per ne Eurovizion te mos perzgjidhet nga Festivali i Kenges, sepse ai festival ka marre fund!

Te gjitha shtetet qe nuk kane fitur ndonje here po vazhdojne te fitojne vite me vite me sa po shikoj une :)

ishalla eshte viti shqiperis ne 2007 :).Kenga e shqiperis per 2006 e meritonte 100% te hynte ne finale :) por kete vite gjithe ato kenge te bukura nuk shkuan ne top 10 mes atyre kengve qe dhe shqiperia

Urime Finland :)

LOL, why not?

Anyone with lyrics of a very sexual song can contact me and I'll make everybody in the audience have sex with each other...not like these amateurs on stage who think they've got it going on!

I am now officially accepting controversial and out of this world applications from writers and composers who're having trouble finding an artist that's willing to go as far as I would!

No cheesy romances, no ethno trash, no schlag crap...just pure sex! Preferably a mixdown of all the sexualities and fetishes and whorings there exist! I'm even willing to pull wardrobe malfunctions, wet kisses, crack shows and drunken parties on stage if I have to!!! Sylvia ain't got sh.it on me! I don't care if I get in trouble, if I get sued, if I go to jail.....I do it all! And the prisoners too.

BRING IT ON ALBANIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA , I AM YOUR PORNO STARRRRRR, YOU FEEL ME BABE, I'M YOUR SHINING STAR, YOU REACH ME BABEEEEEE...ARE YOU READY, ARE YOU READY, ARE YOU READY TO FFFFF...

I AM NOT AN ORDINARY PERSON, I AM NOT AN IMITATION!!

SHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH TUM TUM CHAH TUM TUM TUM CHAHHHHHH...NA NI NA NA NA!!!

BOOOOM! *fart*

This eurovision thing is a circus really. The worst ever not just because Luiz didn't win. So many great performers didn't get through the final.
