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

You mean Hello Mello?
That is not exactly Junior Melfest, rather finding a new star to compete in future Mellos

Im a bit dissapointed, I expected Dua Lipa. But maybe “Ronaldo Mesuli” is just as good.

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

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)

Where did you get that last part from? I read the whole article RTSH released and this isn’t there, or anywhere else.
