I dont really think that Lindita’s song will be the right choise. Elhaida, Venera and Rezarta have a much better song.
Tbh I was waiting more from Elhaida and Venera, but if one of them wins they are gonna sing in english and that version may be even better.
So
1- Elhaida Dani
2- Venera Lumani
3- Rezarta Smaja
I really would love Elhaida Dani fly the Albanian flag in Vienna. I wouldn’t mind if Rezarta or Venera win.

I only heard the songs of Elhaida, Venera and Lindita. Elhaida’s song comes along as a bit boring; it showcases her voice but that’s all. Venera’s song is fantastic! Perfect! Lindita’s song is also excellent and really different from what we’ve seen in the contest.

The best 4 songs that deserve to win the Festival and go to Eurovision 2015 :
1.Lindita Halimi – St fal
2.Marsela Cibukaj – Smuj
2.Elhaida Dani – Diell
4.Venera Lumani – Dua te jetoj
I hope that my country will choose one of these songs .. fingers crossed for Lindita 😀
And not make a big-huge mistake and choose:
Enver Petrovci (great song,terrible singer) or Besiana&Shkodran (bad song)
the others songs and singers are just not a complete material for eurovision..

Lindita Halimi for the win, though I predict Elhaida Dani or Venera Lumani. I hope I am wrong and that Rona is a darling and gives Lindita dymbëdhjetë pikt. 😀

Elhaida has a bit of a Gaia Cauchi thing going on – this is not bad at all.
