Since Semi Final 1 of Eurovision is in 14(!) days, I decided to rank all of this years songs based on how much I like them.

ALBANIA
In my opinion, the reason I like this song is similar as to why I like Denmark's, and that's because of Lindita's vocal abilities. I know this is a SONG contest, but I just can't overlook her stellar vocals which are the focal point of the song for me. I love how subtle and soft she starts out, and how she gradually increases to that huge note at the end. The best part is that she can also nail this song live, and her Eurovision In Concert performance was great when she seamlessly hit her long note and flipped her hair while doing it. Now, onto the song. Bote was fine in my opinion, but I find World miles better. I just love the instrumentation in the song and the gradual build up throughout the song. The lyrics are also pretty good too which is always a plus. All in all, an average song is elevated due to a fantastic singer. I can see this being a borderline qualifier, but I really hope Albania qualifies because Lindita really deserves it.
