It's only the 4th week of the "Magic Song" rubric in "Albanian Sunday", but audience resentment seems to have started early.

In a photo recently released by Ardit Gjebrea, featuring the next Big Artists, the moderator faced the "dissatisfaction" of some viewers that it is not fair for foreign artists to compete with Albanian artists. For more clarity, read the comment:
?I don't like the idea of bringing foreign songs to Magic Songs at all! Albanian artists should not compete with foreign artists, because Albanian artists do not have the opportunities as a foreign artist!
One of the Big Category rules is that the artist must have over 10,000,000 clicks on YouTube to be called Big. The artist from Spain has none! The competencies she participated in are not mentioned in the KM regulation called BIG! Why is it BIG? You personally have said that KM serves Albanian music! Such a mission I never see again! It is no fame KM around the world, from foreign singers who have made a name in their country! I'm sorry that KM is ruining and losing the interest of Albanian artists who really are BIG! Success anyway! ?[Sic]
Such a comment, Gebrea has not delayed responding to further elucidate others who think the same as the commenter above.
"It's only the 4th week, there are 7 more until the final night, while how can you draw conclusions for Albanian artists when you still don't know who it will be? Moreover do you think I will ruin the creature I love the most ???
Sorry, but chill out a bit and if you don't like the idea of foreign songs at the Festival, you have to realize it's already a reality. As I find it strange to write that Albanian artists do not have the conditions of foreign artists .... This iferiority complex seems to me to have been overcome in all directions. As for the Spanish artist, it's enough to listen live and understand why she's Big, without talking about her trophies ... ?
Even after his explanation, others have begun to complain about the quality of the songs, accusing many of the singers of being friendly. Another such criticism, Gebrea responded briefly and very clearly:
"The Magic Song does not recognize the concept of friendship and friendship!"
In addition to the fact that artists have been singing live since the first Sunday of broadcast, the voting process has also changed.
