Comedy, JOYEurovision: The Show, Music, National Finals, Society & Culture

JOYEurovision is back for another year, and what a year it’s already been.

Michael and Io begin season 2025 with every Eurofan’s favourite: Albania’s Festivali i Këngës. The 63rd edition gave Shkodra Elektronike the ticket to Basel to perform Zjerm, but what of the other songs that were trying to get the gig?

Whose arms got Io going?

Which song should be the theme for Albania’s World Cup hosting bid?

Who should become a FiK staple?
