JOYEurovision is back for another year. With a number of countries already showing their hand, it’s time to review one of the most prestigious national competitions: Albania’s Festivali i Këngës.

It was quite a FiKmas for the comp’s runner up, Albina and the Kelmendi Family, getting the all-important golden ticket to Liverpool.

Michael and Io check out some of the other winners of the evening and mull over Albania’s choice for Eurovision 2023.

What does Erma need?

How does the team react to FiK’s change?

What got Io excited?
