This is ESCBubble’s winner of the 60th edition of Festivali i Kenges!
The Grand Final of the 60th edition of Festivali i Kenges, Albania’s traditional festival where they select their entry for Eurovision, starts shortly. But before the show starts, it is time to reveal our results.
In the past couple of weeks we ran a poll on ESCBubble where YOU let us know which of the competing acts were YOUR personal favorites. Combining the results of our poll with the votes of 10 of our team members, we have ESCBubble’s winner!
10 of our team members – Nina, Sebastian, Dave, David, Olivier, Joe, Nikola, Ervin, Matt and Marco have all voted Eurovision style for their 10 favorites. Their results represent the 50% of our final result. The other 50% is coming from our poll, where all of our readers had a chance to vote for up to five of their favorites. In case of any ties, the song that scored more with our readers in the poll will have the advantage.
