Ronela Hajati, invited to "Let me speak", spoke about her experience at Eurovision and said that despite her great desire for the stage, she still faced many challenges.
 
She spoke about the criticism and comments that have been made to her:
 
"Actually, I have never talked about Eurovision as an experience in the media because I kept it to myself, but when I was there I saw that there was a flood of criticism and remarks for the appearance, the dress", said Ronela, adding that abroad, the song has been a hit.

"Many people turned their backs on me here, and I didn't expect it, because the audience knows me and knows what kind of character I have on stage. Everything happened (on the Eurovision stage), every gesture was well thought out. It is not a festival of national songs and it is not that you have to represent the traditions or culture of your country; it is an extra modern festival, beyond all expectations and maybe it sounds selfish, but I thought there to make a show for my name, because to be honest, the relations I had that year with the entire staff of the Albanian Radio and Television were very serta", said Ronela.

Next, tell more about this report:

"I wanted something big, a giant stage to be extra for me, but that budget was never given to me and I was forced to pay for the representative clip myself," said the singer.

He told about the "hotel" where he stayed:
 
"Look at the hotels in other countries, we slept in a motel outside Turin and when the fans came, because there really are fans, they didn't know where to find us, because it was so far in the suburbs" .

"In the last few days, I never received a message from the director, no "success", not that it is taxing, but I have had no support and this is shameful".

Ronela also said that she had paid for the stay of her staff for 4 days, because the RTSH staff left:

"We had to stay for another 4 days until the festival ended and they left. I was forced to pay for the hotel myself for all the staff, because the RTSH staff broke up, ran away and left me in the middle of 4 streets".

Ronela added that she did not understand why this experience happened, as well as admitting her mistakes in Eurovision:
 
"I don't understand why this happened because I tried with all the kindness and the greatest desire and this is not discussed because I was there and my song, but despite the fact that I had many mistakes that I made there and I admit them. I could have left something similar to the performance I left at RTSH, but I was very happy, because I sang in front of 30,000 people every two days. And from all that great joy, you forget that you shouldn't strain your voice...I had many mistakes, but that the support from those who really supported me was zero".
 
She said that it is annoying that different people criticized her on the shows for her performance:

"I was there and I saw that shows were made every day with men and women of a considerable age who sat down and talked about a girl how she had "disgraced" them, "put her head down", "went naked". My eyes really fill with tears and I don't want to remember this at all, but it's disgusting to deal with an artist who has been singing for years and make shows that are also political formats, to insult an artist who has worked endlessly to go out there, because this was seen, since my song, good or bad, is the only hit song that came out of Albania".

"Really, it hurts my soul that we have zero support for each other", she said disappointedly.
