It reminds me a bit of Diell in that it's all vocal showing-off and not much of a song. Although the good news is it's around 3 minutes already, so it won't need hacking to pieces when they translate it like Perralle needed last year.

Albania always seem to go with the quality of the singer than the song which doesn't say much for Albanian male vocalists.

Lindita did sell out a little, since S'te Fal was way better, but I won't tell her that - Lindita being one of those hawkers that searches herself online. Looking forward to the revamp, although I hope they don't gut it too much, I'm sure it stands up just as well as it does now in English.

A complete sidebar from FiK, but did anyone see this today? Sergey's randomly got a 2 and half year old kid.

Poor Dilan, just a few short hours ago he was predicting a top 3 finish in Kiev.

He only just made top 3 in the final itself.

Don't forget to do Terry's re-vote, now we've all survived FiKmas.

I fell asleep last night during it

Dilan was terrible vocally last night so I knew it'd be either Lindita or Yll. REALLY hope they change the song to something she can stomp to in her pants with wild teased out hair, if you know what I'm saying

All told, it was a surprisingly good final songwise!

I'm so pleased that I chose to read the forum rather than endure the results live, that was a terrific 5 minutes - thanks everyone!

The final scoreboard looks mental! No wonder Xhesika had those hands round her neck...

I totally blame the baseball hat for Dilan's downfall

Is the winning song a 'remake' of this?

I honestly don't remember how Botė goes, and I've listened to it several times

A talking head on Wiwi said the same thing. I can't remember it either. Yet I remember Dilan and Lynx.

Disappointed in the Albania selection. Singer is good but cannot save an average song.

Do you think there is a chance that they will change the song?. I am not sure about the rules but I cannot imagine the broadcaster would be bothered if Lindita said she wanted to sing another song. I would surprised if Lindita did not have a new songs to offer which is more representative of the style of music she wants to sing and to take to Eurovision stage

I'm the same, I can't even remember if I liked it or not. Still, Albanian entries often leave me a bit nonplussed until the revamp comes along which either works for them or against them depending what they do with it.

First cab off the rank and I think Lindita was a predictable choice for Albania.

Think we'll get a totally new song, as her music outside of this is actually pretty chart friendly. She also really deserved to make the live shows on American Idol this year!

I like Botė. There's a bit in it that I always hum along afterwards but I can't remember which bit that is.

Just me watching the final of Armenia's bootleg The Voice?

http://www.1tv.am/en/live/

I'm sure I read that Marta is the fav, but she can't hold a single note? Artsvik is clearly miles better... although Iveta is currently showing up the both of them.

Artsvik wins! Glad for her, she's a good singer and I'm sure the writers are clamouring to find a belty ballad for her already. Marta was musically more my thing as a pop singer, but honest to god her vocals were dire. It was no contest when they did a finalists duet to rub the salt in even more!

I don't understand why they're even doing this? No one decent to select internally this year? Iveta was amazing.

Hey all, I have now posted the Youtube links to all 14 performances from the Albanian final last night.

Simply click on the link below to find the songs and the rules, it would be great to see as many of you vote as possible.

I haven't paid attention to Armenia's selection show at all but this came up in my recommended videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1RQlnwhTdU

I'm so glad she didn't win because that was horrendous.
