I haven't listened to Albania's songs, I'll do right now. But I have Malta's and I'm happy. My favourites are Brooke and Franklin. They have such amazing songs.
The first Semi-Final of Albania's selection is on right now, but I can't watch it live, it constantly lags and after 3 minutes it says "Error". I will listen to the songs after it ends.
As much as I love Albania's entries, I must admit they annoy me at times. They are always late. They released the revamp of their JESC 2016 song just 2 weeks before the contest. And they had 5 whole months to prepare it, their national final had taken place on 1 June.
What annoys me is not that they are late, but that they never set a date. While your country, for example, has already revealed that the national final is taking place on 27 January and the songs are being released 4 days before. I'm OK with it. Yes, we will have to wait, but at least we know when we get to listen to them. Albania, on the other hand, makes us wait and ask ourselves all the time.
Semi-Final 2 entries in Estonia are so disappointing! I don't even like Kerli's song, it's very repetitive and she sounds weird. I'll root for Elina, Lenna and Ariadne from Semi-Final 1.
