Eurovision 2015 – Albania – I want WHAT song?

So then, after the two semi finals of dubious quality who will represent Albania in Eurovision 2015? The politburo in Albania has decided to unleash the 18 songs listed below onto an unsuspecting Europe on the 28th December to see which one gets to the Eurovision in May. They are all listed in draw order and, if you care that much, the FiK Semi Results are listed here for your Perusal.

The final was a thrown together affair suffering from the withdrawal due to ego bruising of Alexander Ryback. The webstream started 20 mins late and the show still over-ran by about an hour! – I had long given up by that point. Sources (Roy) tell me that you should watch it back on Eurovision.tv as there is a “fantastic” interval between two songs and a clearly very drunk jury and some bizarre voting. Still, 18 songs came in and one left a winner ( just about!!)

The full result of the jury voting is listed below. On the face of it, a very comprehensive win for Elhaida Dani, not totally surprising as she won the first season of The Voice of Italy and had millions of youtube hits as a result and on the run up to the final.

STOP PRESS!!! The composer of the Winning song has now decided to not allow it to go to the Eurovision because, and I quote,

” The author of the song ‘Diell‘, for personal and irrevocable reasons, has decided to withdraw the song and unfortunately it will be impossible for me to perform it in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Accordingly to his decision and in agreement with the Albanian broadcaster RTSH, I will represent my country in Vienna with a new song. I will work hard to ensure the presentation of a song appropriate to the prestige of the event and to make Albania achieve a respectable result in the competition. Information on the new song will come soon.”

and, therefore, declaring the whole contest a sham, and a fraud, and a sham! – However, they are writing a new song literally as you read this entitled “I’m Alive” – Now you can’t hear that yet, but you CAN hear the “winning song” below – Should you wish to download it – you can from here (By Right Clicking and pressing Save As)
