We are counting down the days until 2014, but tonight’s magic number is 52. That’s because the 52nd annual Festivali i Këngës, Albania’s national selection for Eurovision 2014, takes place tonight in Tirana. All of tonight’s finalists will be channeling the lyrics from Aurela Gace’s (rather frightful) song from Eurovision 2010: “Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion!” You can watch the show online at Eurovision.tv.
