Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albania chose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 using Festivali i Këngës 45 and the format of two semi-finals which will take place on 21 December and 22 December and the final evening on 23 December 2006. On 20 December, a quarter final took place with 20 newcomers competing for two spots in the actual festival. Albania will be represented at Eurovision by Frederik Ndoci with the song "Balada e gurit", which means 'The Stone Ballad'. The winning song was chosen by a panel of seven experts.
At Eurovision, the entry was edited to a three minute version and translated to English under the title "Hear My Plea". Albania will take part in the semi-final on 10 May performing in the 11th position following Netherlands' Edsilia Rombley with "On Top of the World" and preceding Denmark's DQ with "Drama Queen".
