Both "Me Tana" and "Shaj" are not the most exciting songs. "Me Tana" is a formulaic ethnic banger with a live performance that left a lot to be desired while "Shaj" is a formulaic ballad that we've seen in soooooo many past Albanian entries. Albania has stuck to their comfort zone a lot, and it shows in their results. This is fine if their ambition isn't to win ESC. Unless it has a certain degree of charisma like 2018 and 2019, it does tend to be predictable. Right now, "Shaj" is only okay for me. Arilena's vocals are just right for what the song aims to deliver, and the production is neat. However, it doesn't have that "wow, this is amazing" moment for me. Overall, middle of the road.

Overall a for me, but might grow. I'm also salty but I appreciate her vocal ability and the powerful instrumental!

After almost 2 months after its announcement as winner, I really fell in love with her voice, it is so powerful and the instrumental part could be an amazing moment live. I wish they didn't change it to English, Albanian makes it sound more authentic, unfortunately seems they'll definitely change it, if hope it is good version not like "Fairytale".

I really like this. it's powerful and emotional at least it is in Albanian. I feel this will get 2017 type revamp and probably result in the end and imo it's worse than "World". I don't see the revamp really making this better and could ruin all good parts of it. I would rather have her sing in Albanian but make instrumental more interesting. I love Arilena and I don't want her to be wasted in the SF with a messy revamp that will make song lose it's charm. I mean Albania did miles better in the past 2 years having the song non-translated sooo why go back to that now. Also this might sound hypocritical at me saying Serbia needs a song in English to do well but she has a balkan ballad and with balkan ballad, the charm was/still is singing in national language and English would just ruin all the charm that balkan ballad still would have in 2020 (We all know balkan ballads are not doing well recently after we had so many of them in the past). This is miles better than me tana and hopefully it can do decently in Rotterdam but we will see after we get all the songs.
