Can we DISCUSS that Albanian catastrophe?

[Penelope]

It really was BARELY MUSIC

 

[ButterTart]

I liked the bit where she rubbed her nuisance and the other bit where she motorboated that one girl while being done up the arse.

 

[Penelope]

NUISANCE

 

[Saltwater]

Somehow it managed to be lesser than it was in FiK, both in staging and performance terms.

 

[Madíson]

I can’t believe she has any secrets.

 

[Ill Advised]

Underwhelmed but based on the others should have got through…

 

[dmlaw]

The loss of Albania does make Marius Bear a distressing second favourite for this year’s Boobrate.

 

[GNL]

In many ways a spiritual successor to this:

 

[supermassive]

I loved the shameless NOX.

BARELY MUSIC

I did think the knickers were a bit thick and nappy-ish and something skimpier would have offered more of a promise of the darling fancy in return for votes

RUB MY NUISANCE, CAN YOU FEEL THE HEAT?

 

[Alias #23]

I can’t believe she has any secrets.

I hope you’re not implying that she’s some sort of BOUNDARYLESS SLAG!

 

[OutSynk]

It should have been epic but instead idk I guess that black hole in the back sucked everything out of it

 

[ButterTart]

They warned her. Anxhela, Eugent, Lindita, they all took her to one side.
"No good can come of staging" Was their solemn caution. "Just stand there and shout for three minutes; it's the Albanian way."
"I must tread my own path" Came Ronela's reply. "I'll make the motherland proud, I promise." With a misty eyed salute to her forebears, she took off her top, turned the love eggs up to the Fukushima setting, and boarded the Vengabus to Turin.

 

[Alias #23]

I did find the deep growling voice at the beginning a bit alarming so God knows what it did to children across the continent: sobbing and screaming behind the settee, begging for a relaxing Chupa Chups, etc. Mums would have been far too worn out to vote

 

[Penelope]

But ENOUGH about Ronela's fancy!

 

[OutSynk]

Poor Kala. He seemed to have enjoyed it so much.

 

[Alias #23]

“You know I want it down below” was, I thought, a bit XXX explicit for most viewers and “makalo” is famously Albanian for “my plump little minge lips”

There's always ROSA LINN!

 

[Kratz]

There was always the risk that her, quite literally, screaming out this (half-finished) song would be her undoing.

[Diddy]

Did we talk about them doing her dirty on the recap, basically showing none of the main song??

It was better than I thought tbh but I don’t think there were any lost classics in this semi

@RaspberrySwirl in ASFM teas.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Barely music is the perfect description. She barely sang.

 

[ZZ]

The disaster would have happened if this audacious monstrosity had gone anywhere near the grand final.
What a racket!

 

[Eyes]

Recap killed it, I thought this was a fantastically deviant opener.

 

[VoR]

Say goodbye to Albania ever sending an uptempo song again.

 

[Diddy]

Oh I’m sure they’ll have another shouting madam back before you can say Borg Queen

So you loved it?

 

[Beverley]

Somebody get Albania a decent stage director!

 

[Penelope]

Somebody get Albania a decent SONG STRUCTURE!

 

[Kratz]

I remember when it was the first entrant announced and almost uniformly we thought it had a lot of potential, that there was a great song in there, following (1) a revamp and (2) Ronela reigning in her vocal ‘excesses’. They basically did the exact opposite of that.

Also, why did it take so long to get going?

 

[COB]

This was honestly one of the most iconic things I've ever seen, and I'll never EVER forget it.

 

[COB]

Launch Drag Race Albania NOW and do a Sekret lipsync every single episode.

[Saltwater]

They've turned this iconic moment

to this nothingness

 

[Penelope]

Thoughts with all the twinks in Turin coming back to their hotels from Euroclub tonight honking this out of tune, before accidentally swallowing a cigarette and falling down a flight of stairs on the fire escape
