Albania
Dennis Reviews Anita’s 21st Century Favourite
Eugent Bushpepa – Mall | 11th place, 184 points (Final)
Excellent choice, if I may say! Albania has had great performers at Eurovision, but when it comes to giving a vocal masterclass, Eugent was the master. Right from the first rehearsal to the actual performance at the Eurovision final in 2018, Eugent Bushpepa showed himself to be a professional class artist. He delivered every time around.
The song was my favourite in FiK that season, but it really grew on me during the two weeks in Lisbon, becoming even one of my favourite songs at Eurovision in 2018.
Brandon Reviews Joshua’s 21st Century Favourite
Eugent Bushpepa – Mall | 11th place, 184 points (Final)
My favourite male vocalist Albania has ever sent. When he won Fik, I admittedly felt a bit “meh” about his entry – particularly due to the cramped one-room music video. But when that man is on-stage he DELIVERS. Every time I hear him live, he’d give me goose-bumps just from his sheer range and talent. Incredible song and should’ve gotten to the top ten that year by far.
