So far this for me is my favourite Eurovision entry.

It’s odds now 50/1 to win up from 150/1 initially.

…it would be so fun if this won and BenjiBets was the one to lead the way over all of the actual betting sites….…

There’s always a song I hear and overlook for ages (Go_A in 2021, Jako last year) and then listen a few more times and love it. This year it was Albania. I completely write this off on first listen but it’s massively grown on me.

I really hope Albania can get their best placing this year with it.

…yeah the entry definitely has that do t underestimate me type vibe to it, doesn’t it…I liked it on first listen and hopefully the staging will be excellent also, they just have a great folky type feel to them as well which I love…

can this do better than Rona Nishliu - Suus (2012) then?

then they need to finish in the top 4 in the final


and winning the semi

[Nicky91]

also not that i am 100% against Albania


i liked supporting 2023 (Duje) which was a fab traditional anthemic patriotic ballad

i also liked 2018 (Mall) which was a fab rock entry


even Suus had no identity crisis, it was artsy but still very much a traditional ballad



this idk what it is, is it a dance song, is it a rock song, is it a ballad, one major identity crisis here, this rows in the same boat as Croatia this year (Poison Cake) also too weird for my liking



meanwhile Slovenia underrated as ****, despite a meaningful, genuine, emotional ballad

[Nicky91]

i had my millionth listen to Zjerm just now

[Nicky91]

Youtube video

the music video is finally OUT looks so stunning

[Benjamin]

Albania now at 40/1

[Nicky91]

keeps doing better and better in the odds


this will be such an easy win

[Nicky91]

i think i'll vote for Albania two times in the semi, and also one vote to San Marino


but in the final i'll vote for Albania 5 times i think, Zjerm is even better than Salvador Sobral Amar Pelos Dois, both are #RealMusic and so artsy, but this is slightly more authentic as you cannot compare this to anything else

Oh look he changed his mind again

This is still my fave for Eurovision this year. I hope they perform it well live.
