ESC 2017 KYIV - DAY 5: ALBANIA SECOND REHEARSAL

  Oh, where to start? What an earth is she wearing? That veil of whatever in the beginning, what is she? Virgin Mary? The sparkling top looks like some gymnast and the simil dress is blown by the windmachine to her legs so that she looks all the time she's going to step on it and stumble, even if she's not moving at all. Very stiff and static, and today at least not even very powerful vocally.    She had a sort of fan momentum building up in promo events but now... meh. It's not working. 

ESC 2017 KYIV - DAY 1: ALBANIA FIRST REHEARSAL

  Lindita brings her music video live on stage and there's a lot going on, Her four backing singers are standing around the stage and she will be wearing something white and fabulous to match her long notes, and there's not doubting her vocals. In this first rehearsals she was rather casual. I'm still not a fan of this song but it's much better when you see the performance rather than only listen to it so for me it's a borderline qualifier. Could it end up 11th?

The song is written by Klodian Qafoku and Gerard Xhari. Lindita was born in Kosovo and has made her career through various talent shows from Albanian Idol to American Idol passing through local Top Fest that she has won twice, and other talent shows. Her first attempt in the Albanian selection was in 2009 and then again two year's ago finishing then third. She has released 15 singles since 2007 but no album yet.  The song is yet another ballad , like some would say. For once it makes no difference if it's in Albanese or in En...
