Everybody saying “where is Dua Lipa?” when they can also ask where is Ava Max smh
Or Bebe Rexha
Great! Now please remove EasyJet as a sponsor
Montenegro competing entries are revealed!!!!
Nina Zizic is back, (vocalist alongside Who See for Igranka in 2013) Boban Rajovic also is in, one of their bigger names who haven’t done esc yet
Luka Radovic also in, one of their rising star newcomers (had a hit recently in the ”Blefiram” banger)
Let’s hope there are some good songs in that mix.
Diesnt matter who is competing.. FiK jury always picks weird artists, not necessarily public’s favourites… no chances for Elvana
you do realize that the jury doesn’t pick the eurovision entry anymore, right? the jury determines the winner of FIK, but the televote winner is the one given the ticket to eurovision now
Why colleagues in Wiwi do not infirm about junior Melfest??? Sweden is probably getting back to JESC next year! @Adam don’t be lazy 🙂
You mean Hello Mello?
That is not exactly Junior Melfest, rather finding a new star to compete in future Mellos
No Dua Lipa? what a joke
Time for the FiK puns to return! We are so back
Those puns are really efFiKtive.
Im a bit dissapointed, I expected Dua Lipa. But maybe “Ronaldo Mesuli” is just as good.
We waited full 5 years for this, yes, Elvana Gjata is back!
So who is exactly deciding the eurovision artist , public or jury? Can somebody make it clear?
I heard it’s a combination of both this time
NO, the televoting will decide the eurovision representative!!
Jury is the worst option, the public should decide. I also was reading that her song was a ballad this time, can anyone confirm that?
Allegedly her song is called ‘Carneval’, it’s hard to imagine a song with that name being a ballad and not an uptempo one
Interesting, I hope you’re right 🙂
Mal or Elvana are so winning.
Yeeessss Elvana!!
My God, you can’t make this up haha: in the year that Elvana participates again, they switch from televoting to jury…
What’s the source for that? There’s nothing in RTSH’s announcement about the selection method (though I know reverting back to the jury was discussed a few months ago)
“A professional jury will award the festival’s top prizes and also decide who goes to Eurovision.”
Where did you get that last part from? I read the whole article RTSH released and this isn’t there, or anywhere else.
Elvana all the way!
We need Elvana in Eurovision! Tirana 2026!!
Elvana Gjata ofccccc
