CNN gives the "throne" to Shkodra Elektronike: Why Albania should win Eurovision

It seems that the path to international success has been paved for “Electronic Shkodra.” Something that was expected after their excellent performance at Eurovision, making every Albanian proud across the globe.

In a CNN article where the (subjective) ranking for this festival was compiled, Albania holds the throne with "Zjerm".

For this media, Beatriçe Gjergji and Kolë Laca constitute this year's surprise couple.

The CNN ranking, which starts with Armenia's PARG group with the song "Survivor", ranked 26th, then followed by other countries, and in first place, Albania with 'Shkodra Elektronike' with the song 'Zjerm' is ranked.

CNN starts with a description of two Albanian singers, Kolë Laca and Beatriçe Gjergji.

According to the American television network, "Shkodra Elektronike" could capitalize on the above-average performance of other songs, which could lead to a shocking victory at Eurovision.

"A 'grainy' gentleman and a song that gives off a cult atmosphere, where together with Beatrice they form the most original couple of Eurovision. "Shkodra Elektronike" can capitalize on the above-average of other songs, which could make it achieve a shocking victory at Eurovision," writes CNN.

They sing about a desired oasis accompanied by the song's lyrics; "On the road, no ambulance, no one speaks arrogantly, Even today they told us that time is not wasted, I ended up underwater, my mouth never said (No), Imagine a minute without soldiers, without orphans, Not a bottle in the ocean, the oil smells like lilacs".

"The emotions are great, the stage is great, the pressure is great," Beatrice Gjergji told CNN.

CNN further writes that they must be big Eurovision fans, but Beatrice Gjergji replies: "No, not at all, it's not our kind of music."

The American network further explains that their ambivalence is an asset: there is nothing else like this performance and they are receiving the support they deserve from fans.

"If you believe in the kind of music you love the most, maybe something can happen," says Beatriçe Gjergji.

And besides them, CNN writes that this duo has brought something different, a completely authentic kind of music. Therefore, they are getting the attention they deserve from fans.
