I don't understand Albanian but I like it so much!
This song is sad, deep and touching... Please, please don't translate it into English! Original music, excellent voices, beautiful Aida! It is a pity you must cut the song to 3 minutes...
Hear & listen to the song the video is amazziiiiinnngggg i love the colors and aida staying inn top of the biulong with a white dress

the lyric (really really sweet )
Hear my plea (English)
I say farewell, the final call,
I turn and walk away, I leave it all.
I find that life regains its glow,
But the journey’s long, the going’s slow.
A million miles later,
I crave a love that’s greater
Take me home again.
Hear my plea,
Take the longing of my heartbeat
Make the melody.
(I beg you), hear my plea,
As it quivers in the tear drops
That you shed for me.
I beg you, hear my plea,
Take the longing of my heartbeat
For eternity
I beg you hear my plea,
The pain, the suffering of today
Tomorrow’s memory.
This is another entry that I find a bit... don't know... strange at least... When the guy starts singing I thought "what's wrong in this picture/sound"??? Can this man really sing or what? And then, "out of blue", there he is with his perfect vocal really causing chills...
I'll just wait and see what happens with this song... 
i love the song in its original language ,i hope the change to english doesnt ruin it the live performance in the albanian final was very powerful and emotional i think it will score big on the night of the semi final because they are both great live performers and will put in a very emotional performance this might be one to watch in the final i will vote for 5 songs in the semi 1 slovenia 2 cyprus 3 albania 4 malta and 5 moldova or switzerland depending on live performances i really hope this is the year for sloneia and albania making it to the final good luck on the night xxx

go to final
I like it. It might win.
It's so beautiful - I don't want to hear it in English. Albania have the unfortunate habit of tampering with a good song.
the song will be sang in english (so you peeps can shut the hell up and finally will anderstand what the song is about thank you very much )
peace out
It won't win (although you never know!). Yet I do like it, it might actually be the most original entry so far. Others are more showy but ultimately conventional. This 2007 contest is a bit disappointing. In terms of quality, we are far below the outstanding 1997 ESC for instance. Let us hope for a few more strong entries.
better not keep ur hopes up for these two, coz u'll just end up getting super-disappointed... by the looks of it theyre the least favourite this year... every1 seems to have them at the bottom of their list 
even though i love the song i still say its not for ESC, mariza would have brought the victory, or atleast a top 5 position
Not my cup of tea, really. I've been listening to it for the past hour or so, but it still does nothing to me. I suppose a good performance could do wonders. Anyway, good luck Albania.
Greetings from Bosnia
well paul lol they already recorded the 3 minute version of this song we'll hear it problably on 14 march or 15th after EBU announce the performers in running order they will also update the eurovision.tv immidietely after that with a 30 sec clip of song of every country and whole video clips of the countries that are participating
can't wait to see the video though i hope it's good i hope they make the refrein in english
I do like the song and they have good voices. I only hope they realize that at the ESC allows 3 minutes on stage only
Cannot say I am impressed. Yes, nice one, I just don't think it's for ESC. Sorry. It's nothing political, it's just that the song has a very unusal rytham

I like the music
it has a cool sound
and it's not as bimbo as some other albanian esc entries
HEY... HEY... HEY...
THIS IS FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WORD "ABDUCTION"
GET AND LISTEN CAREFULLY "REMEMBER ME" SONG PERFORMER BY Josh GROBAN, music by JAMES HORNER...
... WHAT'S... WOU... WOU... WOU...
I've only now just heard the full song, it's magical! Don't translate the lyrics, and keep the wailing. MY favourite so far!
Tis original, which is good, but it wont get my vote. In my opinion a bit of a disappointment after having loved every single albanian entry up to now.
frederik is a legend
he have a real voice and can hit the high note and is very powerfull singer and he will have a great presentation and the song is very good
Good luck albania
