Alketa Weysiu was active on social media during the "Festival of Song" broadcast, always trying to interact with followers and get their impressions in real time. What was striking was the lack of a post on her part after the winner was announced and the festival ended.
The moderator did just that, a few minutes ago, where, while congratulating Arilene on the victory, he stopped long at Elvana Gjata apologizing to the disillusioned public.
"I wish Arilene success for victory! Best of luck for Albania in Eurovision". But, I can't leave without thanking Elvana Gjata! What was clicked in 2 weeks more than all, 3 million 500 thousand times! I cannot deny that her song was the celebration of this Festival. That Elvana was the news of this edition, the voice and energy of the youth dancing in a solid hall that brought together Albania, Kosovo and the Diaspora! Races declare winners but not losers because hits never die.
After this festival that I have done with my soul, I can say that I have never been and will never be a party to any jury, for any motive. I believe in meritocracy and I am deeply sorry that on the platform of this festival I could not give voice to the voice of the public. Excuse me if I disappointed you! Understand and respect your empathy! Please spare the charges. I was not the jury and the jury was not me! Elvana thank you! You came to this festival because you believed in my vision. You didn't need a race to confirm who you are because you just are! "

Elvana Gjata came in second at "Song Festival", though only within 6 days her song "Me tana" proved to be the most clicked ever in the history of the ART Festival.
