A fan fave that's in a native language, experimental, and without conventional structure or hooks? Wonder how this will turn out

that's insane because it has a really memorable chorus and the structure is literally verse - (pre)-chorus - verse - (pre)-chorus - outro like how more clean does it have to be

Yes, thank you.

I've seen so many people blabbering about how eXpEriMentaL!! it is and how it will flop... People underestimate how familiar and warm this will sound to a lot of Eastern Europe. And it's so catchy too.

If anything, this sounds way more current then that Karnaval song too.

If the alleged P Diddy of Albania wants to win FiK that mich, she should try with something with a bit more oomf.

I see this argument often but is that really better? Who tf cares for 'bold art' aside for from chronically online eurogays, for 99.96% of the audience a bomb is a bomb.

The exact same thing can be said about 99.9% of Karnaval-type songs...

Who tf cares for girlbops aside for from chronically online eurogays

In 2024 alone:

Malta bombed, last place in the semi final

Austria flopped

Georgia flopped

Cyprus underperformed and forgotten

And it's just for 2024. Mind you all the above songs are better than Karnaval (at least imo)

Would've KeiiNO had a better result, been a bigger moment and more rememberable overall for GP? Also yes

Are the above songs rememberable for GP (not "chronically onlIne eurogays")? No.

Zjerm is giving me 8-13th placement and that's a good thing

2024-12-23T12:34:36Z

Albania :clap3:

Zjerm is a good song but I expect the same result as Norway got with Gåte.

Poor Elvana. She should have won with Me tana. I hope she tries one last time even though I don't think she will do it again. At least she gave us two Albanian bops :heart:

to be honest.. a good girlbop is always appreciated but you also need to be able to perform it? I can't say that Foureira and Chanel brought something MODERN but they are both top performers, something I can't say about Elvana who barely moved :rip:

The thumbnails this year looking like a 240p video from 2007 :rip:

if they used the colours of each country's flag it would look cool but now it's very ????

Barring an English revamp, Albania will have its usual result of barely scraping through the semi in 8th-10th place and finishing somewhere between 15th-20th in the final

2024-12-23T16:10:28Z

Karnaval was doomed to be another Malta Loop. Sara was a better performer than what Elvana did at this festival too.

Zjerm will at least be a risk that could pay off in an In Corpore Sano way. It might not work but it has a better chance of placing high than Karnival which was a close to a guaranteed NQ.

Take last year for example, is Ulveham technically a 'better' song than Damdigiggi or whatever? Yes. Would've KeiiNO had a better result, been a bigger moment and more rememberable overall for GP? Also yes. After all, we're making a TV show for entertainment aimed at general population, so 'ok nobody will likely care for this but it's daring!' doesn't really mean much in that context

That said, I'm not really out on Zjerm, if anything because of their diaspora, and the revamp + SJB card they like to pull out often.

Is SJB staging them? They need that twink that staged Ireland last year to work with them instead.

Benidorm should stick to these neotraditional songs and give up the dated dance songs and radio filler
