ALBANIA

Kejsi Tola

Carry Me in Your Dreams

EDU review:
After the intro (very reminiscient of Blancmange's 'Living on the Ceiling') this sounded like a 1990s Spanish entry (set in a harem). Nothing wrong with it though, and the delivery by teenaged Kejsi was wonderful. It was the stage show which made this a low-light of the Final. Two twin break-dancing midgets with clown make-up (who looked a lot like Ben Stiller) plus a guy in a green sequin Spiderman outfit. Just WTF were they thinking?
Norton: "The bad news is you're about to watch Albania. She's only 17 so please bear that in mind. Where was her mother? Why didn't she step in and say no?"

We're not sure where Albania's suspicious voting pattern is heading. They're opted for Greece (twice), FYROM, Bosnia-Herzegovina & SPAIN so far.
