Arian Demolli, the manager of Samanta Karavella, has shown why the singer gave up the 62nd edition of the "Song Festival".
"Many of my colleagues have written to me and asked me about this. We had a cycle and that thing was taking too long," he said, adding that Samantha may (or may not) answer on her own when "Song Festival" ends.
He further added that Samantha and Casey Tola's withdrawal at the same time was a coincidence and Casey's decision had nothing to do with Samantha's:
"We have had no contact and we did not know Casey's plans. It had nothing to do with us. It was not a coordination", said Ariani, showing that Samanta has 30 materials, for which they have to think about how to bring them and they can come in different forms, album, single, or even EP.
The singers' decision to withdraw from the competition led to a theory circulating online that Elsa Lila was pre-announced as the winner.
The Song Festival will be held from December 19-22, 2023. Voting will be the same as last year: The public will decide through televoting who will represent Albania in Eurovision 2024 as a special prize and the jury will select the winner of festival and other awards.
