A fairly ordinary song....not bad but not much to talk about either. Not my style anyhow.
well..i kinda like the song...it might a dark horse...who knows..
Very nice song! Well done Albania!
She need to improve her voice til Belgrade, and I'm definitely sure that Albania will be in the final!
but does europe still appreciate this type of song? doubt it
I would like to see Anjeza Shahini again in esc, she was great..
This song does have potential to go to finals, i like it but it needs more work on it, could be made more powerful. good luck!
Well Done Olka - And Good Luck in ESC
i am from albania and i saw 3 nights of festival andi i think all were bad songs. exept this and the one of greta koci. it a good song but i think also this year albania will not preform to final!!!
AFTER 3 YEARS IN SEMI IS TIME TO GET ALBANIA IN FINAL
FROM 5 SELECTIONS ALBANIA DID OLTA FOR ME IS IS THE SECOND STRONGEST FOR ALBANIA
ANJEZA SHAHINI
OLTA BOKA
LUIZ EJLLI
LEDINA CELO
FREDERIK NDOCI
GO ALBANIA
My final decision is:
Best Albanian entry and very good to compete in eurovision, musicwise ofcourse, can't say anything about lyrics since I don't understand the language. Good luck to Albania. 
The song is so-so, but she must work on hel look, she looks like Clotilde aunt 
this reminds me a lot the 2007 entry of bosnia...
I like this song very much and i listen it only once! very nice typicall balkan sound! Congratulations Albania
Actually, the very begining of the song, the opening (music) and the first one or two lines of the lyrics sound very good but then after it becomes boring and uninteresting song, infact it is irritating with no taste but rathey like hey here is my song the voice of hit the right notes which does not convince at all. Over singing annoying song
@ kathrin
i agree with you..she is horrible..not nearly as good as anjesha in 2004 !!
I think her song is very bad. It is extremely boring. And she really has to work at her whole appearance. Her attire and her hairstyle are horrible.
I don't thin its bad. Its not great, but its better then last year's Albanian song. And this girl is really sweet and sings very good for 16 years. Keep it in Albanian language !
Greta=SHIT ON THE RADIO ...SHE'S E BAAAAAAAAAD SINGER...SHE NOT DESERVE EUROVISON!LIL SLUT
sorry albania bad song I think real winner was greta koci
I really like the song... sure, it's not a winner, but it's nice. I hope they don't translate it to English.
Nice song, but I don't think it will qualify to the final 
.
Hi everyone
I'm albanian guy,and yep shure i with say that i like ,but not because i'm albanian but i like,is not like the first song to eurovision of Anjeza Shaini,that was realy to win the eurovision but yep....sometimes i think that is a littel bit politcal the vote,,,
Well,this song shure can not win but guys come on is somthing different,is not rock and roll and i think not only shows can win...
Beautifull voice too,hi from Italy when i'm living.
I rather listen to the boring Molitva even though it was not my cup of tea, but this one is worst
Night Elf
I agree. I myself thought I clicked on wrong video containing 80's ballad song which doesn't seem to show anything to convince other than the showing off the voice of hit the right notes while its for Eurovision Song Contest.
Below average and will stay in semifinal.
very nice
sadly, won't work.
I keep listening this song proving myself that maybe is good...and reading all you positive comments !!! Maybe I am listening a wrong song ????
If this song go to the final than the new voting system is SO WRONG !!!!!
A quite good song but i don't think it will be in my top 10 after i listen to all the 43 songs, we will see....

1. Anjeza Shahini - The image of you (2004)
