Albania 2025: Shkodra Elektronike - Zjerm

[VoR]

I am very much aware that I said this when Ronela won but that’d surely be going top ten AT LEAST if it won?!

My only problem is that the song kind of peaks within the first 45 seconds, but there's plenty of scope to give it a Slo Mo-esque revamp.

 

[VoR]

 

[Penelope]

Needs a bit more story to the performance beyond the first minute, but with a bit more tightening up that should be Albania's first top ten since Suus.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh yes please.

Though I still think they should go with the PRESSED QUEEN for a Michael, Ben, and David style disaster.

 

[IntoTheDark]

BORING

 

[Soldi]

Is anyone eliminated before the final?

 

[OutSynk]

I'm loving Elvana. Not far from this other banger she's part of

 

[Dark Carnival]

!!!

 

[auretz]

Zjerm is probably the fan favourite:



I'd be happy with either them or Elvana. But it's Albania, so all bets are off as to who they actually send I thought the final was tonight, but I'd forgotten about the highly anticipated nostalgia night!

 

[VoR]

Can’t wait for the rousing group singalong to Suus!

 

[Kratz]

‘sorry to ruin your FAKE EUROFAN JOB that nobody asked or has given you’

 

[Soldi]

More artists should lash out at Twitter fans

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The only two songs that have made any impact on me have qualified

 

[auretz]

There's online voting (supposedly for the diaspora but will no doubt also be used by ESC fans) that will open at https://fik63.com/ tonight

 

[auretz]

They're also doing proportional televoting scores for the first time, which possibly gives Elvana an advantage if she does indeed sweep the televote. I miss the days where the FiK scoreboard was just a screenshare of Excel

 

[Soldi]

Voting on NOW

 

[Lucille]

What fucking time is it in Albania is this still going?

 

[Soldi]

They’re only an hour ahead!

 

[Soldi]

Elvana is second, six points behind after the jury vote.

 

[Soldi]

Oh wait I don’t think the jury vote is finished? How many jurors are there??

 

[ZenGiraffe]

What's first?

I do hope it isn't Elvana. It's just not GOOD ENOUGH

 

[Soldi]

Shkodra Elektronike are first with 74 points, Elvana second on 70. I don’t speak Albanian (believe it or not) so I haven’t a CLUE if there’s any more jury votes to go.

You mean that you didn’t learn Albanian just for tonight? Lazy.

 

[Soldi]

Elvana jumps into the lead after the DEMOSCOPICO!

 

[D5K]

It's fun watching when you don't have a clue how the voting works... the diaspora vote segment was pleasingly bizarre

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Not a DREADED DEMOSCOPICO

 

[Soldi]

Oh for FUCKS SAKE

 

[VoR]

Another obvious 17th place finisher for Albania then.

 

[Lucille]

A truly baffling song!

 

[VoR]

 

[Lucille]

Sorry I think it’s quite camp.

 

[VoR]

I like the song a lot, but they threw away a possible top ten for yet another entry with incredibly narrow appeal.

 

[Lucille]

I hope she takes herself QUITE SERIOUSLY!

 

[dmlaw]

If there’s one thing we know about Albania at Eurovision, it’s that the version performed at Eurovision won’t sound ANYTHING like that.

 

[Lucille]

Is the old mam her partner, father, muse?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh what EXCELLENT NEWS

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I like the song a lot, but they threw away a possible top ten for yet another entry with incredibly narrow appeal.

In what world was Karnaval going top ten

 

[IntoTheDark]

 

[Lucille]

I dare say Zjerm is quite ALLURING, and yes perhaps even SULTRY.

 

[IntoTheDark]

It's kinda cute that they call their music IMMIGRANT POP, after they were grew up outside of Albania, in Italy
