The male presenter looks like the love child of Damian Lewis and James Jordan... but that might just be me!

Is anyone watching via the main stream? The sound on the youtube link is awful; sounds very out.
Sorry, can't do anything about that I'm afraid. I'm using a standard scart connection to send the feed from satellite to laptop

Seems it was a tribute to one of Albania's biggest music legends Vace Zela.

I was right, it was a hologram. Think that explains the sound too Fudd.

Hang on, was that a holographic performance by a deceased singer?
Apparently that was a hologram of Vaçe Zela, who is one of Albania’s biggest ever singers, and won FiK 11 times. She passed away in 2014.


Apparently....

Don't know if DS are messing about or whether it's a continuing sign my pc is about to konk out, but I keep getting dead pages on the forum or half, partially loaded pages.

Yes, it seems fine again now. I wonder if they had issues with getting the hologram equipment to work, hence the silence in the dark followed by a hasty ad break?

Sound is fine now for me. Think it was due to the quality of the sound recording that they used with the hologram.

I haven't had any issues with the forum since it returned from it's downtime. I hate to say it but it might be your laptop.

Do they literally only have 3 adverts in Albania, that they play on a loop for all eternity?

Apparently again - the green room chap (who looks much wackier when he gives out the Albanian votes every year) possibly just said that the public vote is coming from the audience in the hall?

Will be interesting if that's the case, could come down to who has the most friends and family there

They do realise the finalist has to be in Kiev in circa five months time? Only I'm not sure if they're planning to start the show before then.
