ALBANIA – The first night of Festival i Këngës concluded and the fandom has spoken. Ronela is the singer which they want to see on stage in Turin. But we have a long way until we get there.
The Festival i Këngës 2021 first night was full of Albanian songs which Europeans can never understand (and therefore vote for them).
In the highlights of the evening we saw the viral performance and appearance of Kastro headline on Twitter, the performance of Mirud which didn’t exactly spark enthusiasm among the fans and the (finally) perfect performance of the barefoot Alban.
We also got the first results. Three of the newcomers eliminated from last night’s performances as Viola Xhemali – “Eja si erë”, Kejsi Rustja – “Vallëzoj me ty” and Xhuliana Pjetra – “Baladë” from the newcomers’ category, will not proceed to the final.
#FIK60 🇦🇱 Following the performance of the big favourites, which one will go to Turin? #oikotimes #eurovision #albania #ronela #alban #tirana #live #music

It is no secret that Alban was your favourite in the oikotimes poll. But since last night, through our Twitter poll, Ronela is clearly your favourite now to win the FIK. #FIK60 was actually the top trend in Albanian Twitter.
Let’s not forget that the final results will be determined by a jury and not public voting. This already says a lot and we all remember how FIK works in several occasions…
