Albania sends a 'Fairytale' to Stockholm


Before 2015 ends, Albania becomes the first country to announce their entry.

The 2016 Eurovision season had begun and we finally have a song for our top, albeit its just a top 1 we could still have a list thanks to Albania. This country sends 33 year old beautiful Albanian singer, Eneda Tarifa with the song Perralle which means 'Fairytale'. This entry is selected through the 54th Festivali i Kenges, which is Albania's national selection. This singer really proved that third time's luck does exist,as she previously joined the contest in 2003 and 2007, unfortunately she failed to get the trophy. But now she got it and she would be singing the powerful song titled Perralle.

This song itself is really good and powerful, I must say that I prefer this year's entry compared to last year, albeit "I'm Alive" is also a good song. The song has verses which goes in a slow tempo but it starts to release its power as we go to the chorus, which really shows the power of this song. I am not a fan of Albanian language but I must say that this song blends in really well with the Albanian language, so I just hope that it wouldn't be changed to the English version, as it is already beautiful in this condition. Eneda Tarifa herself has powerful vocals, which really helps in exerting the power of the song.

Overall, I just hope that the song nor the language would be changed as it is wonderful the way it is. To add the matter of a fact, I hope that the song wouldn't have a sudden change too. I would give it a 7 out of 10 at the moment and I must say that, if this song manages to stay strong until all the entries are announced, it would have a high chance to qualify and maybe they could get a good position. Nevertheless, I would like to wish a good luck and all the best to Eneda Tarifa!!! All of us couldn't wait to see you in Stockholm!!!
