Elhaida Dani considers "first failure" the first competition as a singer, then only 15 years old. In an interview for the show "Soiree" with Jonida Shehu on ABC, Elhaida recalled the time when she competed in "Friday Night Fever" and thought that music is not what she knows how to do better.
"It was a total failure for me as Elhaida, because it was the first time I said that I am not only the girl who plays the piano, a classic at school, but I am also the singer. I was eliminated in the second round. I do not tell this often, but I will tell it today. It so happened that there were very good singers that year. That year Xhensila Myrtezaj, Casey Tola, Dorina Garuci competed. There were some really good names that sang for years, stage girls. I had just started, climbed on stage for the first time and sang shyly and was eliminated in the second round of the rounds. I said ok and tried it, [the song] is not my thing, I will never pick up a microphone by hand again in my life. ”
However, Elhaida did not give up music. After "Etheve", she competed in "Star Academy" where she won the first prize and with the first prize she was evaluated in "Top Fest" and then in "The Voice of Italy", where the latter gave her another recognition. wider beyond borders.
In 2014, she won the ART Song Festival and represented Albania at Eurosong 2015 with the song 'I'm alive'.
