Raul: I have to admit that I was a Karnaval fan, but this song isn’t bad either, it’s a good one, but not for me, it’s not my kind of song. I like the fact that they have traditional, ethnic elements, the sound is quite good, modern, the song stays in your head from the first listen.
Grade: 8/10

Reza: I’m a huge Elvana fan, but I can’t even be mad that this incredible song won the national final. Zjerm is everything this year has been missing: a fantastic ethnic, folk-inspired banger. The performance takes it to another level, with iconic dance moves, infectious energy, and perfect execution. I wouldn’t be surprised if this song follows the same path as Shum in 2021. I think the locals will really appreciate this entry.
Grade: 9/10

Stefania: Albania came in swinging with vocals that could wake the dead. It is dramatic, powerful, and totally owning the stage!
Grade: 10/10

Florin: At first I didn’t like the song, but then I became OBSESSED with it. I’m still not the biggest fan of his part, but maaaaybe they can do something interesting with it. Everything else, love it. It’s the perfect ethnic song that makes you feel the energy and the message without even understanding the lyrics. Can’t wait to see them shndrit on stage
Grade: 9/10

Antonio: One of the best entries since Rona Nishilu. I remember watching FiK and having mixed thoughts about the song but after it won I couldn’t stop listening to it! hypnotising, super catchy with a nice indietronica sound. This will do really well in Basel and I hope the result would be really promising.
Grade: 10/10

Laurentiu: Top 3 material. This song moves you and creates a feeling of euphoria, joy, and pure excitement. The energy the artists bring to the stage is simply incredible, and I’m thrilled that Albania is finally back in the Eurovision power game. The rhythm, the lyrics, and the entire atmosphere of the song make it unforgettable. I truly believe this could be Albania’s best result at Eurovision yet!
Grade: 10/10

Overall grade: 9.33/10
