I have a fondness for the songs from Albania, and I loved the original version of the 2007 entry. This one is quite nice, perhaps a little boring. So long as she dumps that hideous aluminium blouse and changes her hair she might be in with a chance. But probably not.
no hasta.. i beleive ruben is trying to say this song is new for 2008 not similar to any others.
This song reminds me of Albania 2008
A fairly ordinary song....not bad but not much to talk about either. Not my style anyhow.
well..i kinda like the song...it might a dark horse...who knows..
but does europe still appreciate this type of song? doubt it
I would like to see Anjeza Shahini again in esc, she was great..
This song does have potential to go to finals, i like it but it needs more work on it, could be made more powerful. good luck!
Well Done Olka - And Good Luck in ESC
i am from albania and i saw 3 nights of festival andi i think all were bad songs. exept this and the one of greta koci. it a good song but i think also this year albania will not preform to final!!!
AFTER 3 YEARS IN SEMI IS TIME TO GET ALBANIA IN FINAL
FROM 5 SELECTIONS ALBANIA DID OLTA FOR ME IS IS THE SECOND STRONGEST FOR ALBANIA
ANJEZA SHAHINI
OLTA BOKA
LUIZ EJLLI
LEDINA CELO
FREDERIK NDOCI
GO ALBANIA
The song is so-so, but she must work on hel look, she looks like Clotilde aunt
this reminds me a lot the 2007 entry of bosnia...
I like this song very much and i listen it only once! very nice typicall balkan sound! Congratulations Albania
@ kathrin
i agree with you..she is horrible..not nearly as good as anjesha in 2004 !!
I think her song is very bad. It is extremely boring. And she really has to work at her whole appearance. Her attire and her hairstyle are horrible.
I don't thin its bad. Its not great, but its better then last year's Albanian song. And this girl is really sweet and sings very good for 16 years. Keep it in Albanian language !
Greta=SHIT ON THE RADIO ...SHE'S E BAAAAAAAAAD SINGER...SHE NOT DESERVE EUROVISON!LIL SLUT
sorry albania bad song I think real winner was greta koci
I really like the song... sure, it's not a winner, but it's nice. I hope they don't translate it to English.
Nice song, but I don't think it will qualify to the final 
.
Hi everyone
I'm albanian guy,and yep shure i with say that i like ,but not because i'm albanian but i like,is not like the first song to eurovision of Anjeza Shaini,that was realy to win the eurovision but yep....sometimes i think that is a littel bit politcal the vote,,,
Well,this song shure can not win but guys come on is somthing different,is not rock and roll and i think not only shows can win...
Beautifull voice too,hi from Italy when i'm living.
very nice
sadly, won't work.
I keep listening this song proving myself that maybe is good...and reading all you positive comments !!! Maybe I am listening a wrong song ????
If this song go to the final than the new voting system is SO WRONG !!!!!
A quite good song but i don't think it will be in my top 10 after i listen to all the 43 songs, we will see....
My top Albanian esc songs :
1. Anjeza Shahini - The image of you (2004)
2. Luiz Ejlli - Zjarr e ftohtë (2006)
3. Olta Boka - Zemrën lamë peng (2008)
4. Ledina Celo - Tomorrow I go (2005)
5. Aida & Frederik Ndoci - Hear my plea (2007)
Well much better than 2006 and 2007(it was awuful) entries, but they have to work on it a bit more. The voice's girl is still ok, but she remain cold. No doubt it's a song touching the albanian ears and i think it's quite original..6+/10, galantis . athens
