Rozana Radi and Sany Dimitri were declared the winners of "Magic Song 2024" with their song "Akoma," earning maximum points from the jury, participating artists and the public. However, this result has caused widespread debate, with many voices disputing their victory.
A part of the audience points out that there were other artists with more powerful performances, such as Era Rusi, Ronela Hajati, Fifi and Blerina Braka. Critical comments have filled social networks, where one user says:
"We have Albanian singers with super vocals and a Greek comes to receive the first prize. Only in 'Magic Song' does this happen. There were singers who sang much better. Shame.”
Here are some other comments:
Another argument that has received attention is the claim that an Albanian artist would not have won at a similar festival in Greece. This has raised questions about the evaluation method and the criteria of the festival.
Meanwhile, Arilena Ara threw "gasoline on the fire" with an ironic post on Instagram, sharing a story that read:
"Good night only to @arilenaaraa, who takes the award without being present at all. I'm proud of you, my diva, you know how to make history!"
What is your opinion?
Was "Akoma" the right song to win, or do you think other artists deserved the big prize?
