I did this series back in 2021 and really enjoyed it so I'm restarting. In this blog series, I'm going to go through all 36 Eurovision Entries for this year and give my thoughts & opinions on the song, potential staging for Eurovision, and how I think it will do in the contest. I will be also be ranking the competing acts. We start with Albania!

🗨️: Albania oh no! What have you done?! Albania is one of my favourite countries at Eurovision - in particular Jonida Maliqi's 2019 entry 'Ktheju Tokes' which was actually my favourite entry of 2019 and also 'Duje' last year really grew on me, so I have a very special spot for Albania. However, I can't believe how disappointing this is. The NF didn't give us many options, but I really liked Luan's song which would've been a really unique sound to bring to the contest. TiTAN is just very bland and forgettable, her vocals aren't anything special and just repeats the same old formula that Albania have stuck with for so long. There's nothing original about this and it just falls flat. I will admit I did enjoy the song when it was in Albanian - it had some personality at least. The English version is just avoid of any personality whatsoever, really disappointed with Albania this year.
🏆: This is a definite Non-qualifier. Not only is it going 2nd in the running order in Semi Final 2, it is followed by Greece and Switzerland - two major favourites in the contest. The final nail in the coffin is the semi not having a jury vote, which would have saved this song the tiniest amount. I can't see anyone wanting to pick their phone up and pay money to vote for this. It will just be forgotten where it belongs.
MY RANKINGS (1/36)
1. 🇦🇱 Albania - Besa Kokedhima "TiTAN'
Albania currently holds the top spot, but I can guarantee it will not stay there. Next is Armenia.
