ALBANIA DECIDES 2012
FESTIVALI I KENGES SEMIFINAL 1

And the finalists from the first night of the festival are: Gerta Mahmutaj, Bashkim Alibali, Samanta Karavello, Endri & Stefi Prifti, Rona Nishliu, Rudina Delia, Marjeta Billo, Hersi Matmuja, Elton Deda and Altin Goci.

Now on stage the Eddy Wata perfoming his song “Senorita”.

Evans Rama

His act began with a technical problem. A pop ballad from Evans. He has good vocals. I think that the technical problem made him nervous, but he is good enough.

Elton Deda

Elton has chosen the casual dressed code, with a black shirt and a jean.

It’s a rock ballad. The vocals are very good. He gets big applause from the audience.

Back to the Festival.

Off to another commercial break.

Altin Goci

Altin’s style is in black except a colourful scarf. The first “rock”  song is on air.The vocals are mediocre. I think that he is having a problem with the microphone,

because I can’ t hear him as loud as I want. But he is having a good performance.

Claudio La Regina

Ηe is wearing a white pair of jeans and  vest and a black shirt from inside.

His song is a ballad. The vocals are mediocre. I think that is an indifferent act.

Hercina Matmuja

Hercina is “The Lady In Black” for me tonight! I don’ t like her hair at all. Her song is ballad. Her vocals are good enough. Ok! One more nice ballad.

Claudio La Regina

He is wearing a white jean and  vest and a black shirt from inside.

His song is a ballad. The vocals are mediocre. I think that is an indifferent act.

Back again to the Festival.

Off to an other commercial break.

Marjeta Billo

Marjeta has the rockish style in her dress code. Her song is popish. Her vocals are amazing. She has an intensive dance act.

Rudina Delia

She is wearing a purple dress which which is colourful inside.

The song is a ballad. Her vocals are mediocre. I don’t like her voice, the song is good enough I think that her beauty will help her.

Rona Nishliu

Rona is wearing a dress with all the shades of blue and one of the sleeves is gold. However, her hairdresser has not done a good job. By the way her song is a ballad with a powerful refrain, but I think that she is not singing, I think that shes is shouting. The song is very powerful and she gets into the sentiment.

Endri dhe Stefi Prifti

The first duet for tonight. The wear black jackets,shirts and blue jeans.

Their song is on pop-rock style. Their vocals are mediocre. I think that is an indifferent song, but they have a big applause from the audience.

Back to the Festival again.

Off to the first commercial break.

Samanta Karavello

Samantha is wearing a very nice blue dress, I call her “The Woman In Blue”.

Her song is a powerful ballad. Her vocals are perfect as her facial expression.

She has an intensive dance act, something that the previous participants didn’t have.

Bashkim Alibali

He is wearing a red jacket with a black jean shirt. The song is pop.

The violins are making the song much better. His vocals are good enough. Good choice.

Entela Zhula

Entela is wearing a black lace dress. Her song is a jazz ballad.

The vocals are good as her dance act too.

Now on  air a video dedicated for the 50 years of the Albanian Festival.

Gerta Mahmutaj

Gerta is the first singer for tonight. She is wearing a white dress. A pop song.

I think that she must be very nervous. Her choreography was not so good.

Enkeleida Zeko, Hygerta Sako and Nik Xhelilaj are hosting the show tonight

The hosts are a man and two women.

A children’s choir opens the night.

You can watch the show online here
