A biography will follow when someone in the Eastern bloc can 1. work out what she's saying, and 2. find out who she is.

The Singer
 
From her performance during the extremely well-staged though low-on-quality pre-selection, Anjeza came across as a ballgown wearing confident lass with a strong voice. So far, so good. She looks a tad like that Greek/Aussie from "Heartbreak High" and "Home & Away". She seems to be as sincere as Mother Theresa in a leper colony, which will do her well.

The Past
  
They don't have one in the contest, so there's not much to say. Apart from jolly good luck.

The Song
 
"Well so far, I've only heard the four minute effort, which will need to be somewhat savaged before it becomes acceptable to the EBU. But I'm not going to savage it, because I think that there's a basic tune here which could do well, as long as the ballad muck & the guitar solo shite gets dumped sharpish. Admittedly it's the first song I've heard this year, it's obviously it's so repetitive you would swear you're in a time warp, but for a virgin effort, I think they can hold their heads high.

Another Person's Opinion "Enver Hoxha meets Ghengis Khan meets disco-dasco-al-fresco..." Indeed

Overall
One of four Eurovision virgins, I’m sure you all share my hope that they do themselves justice at their first attempt. I get the feeling however that a bad showing in the semi’s may put them off from ever entering again. But they have a solid chance of getting political points off both the Med and Eastern Europe sectors of the competition, and Anjeza is a confident singer with an extremely adequate voice.
If the song makes the Saturday final it'll be an achievement, but still, welcome signs.

In a Nutshell
"Like their flag, it's a dark bird squawking"
 

Imazhi Yt
 
Kur vjen ne shpirt nje dashuri
Sa e çuditçme duket vetja
E ndjehesh krejt tjeter njeri
E sa e shtrenjte te duket jeta
 
E ndjehesh tjeter njeri
E shtrenjte te duket jeta
Kjo ndjenje si nje magji
Sa larg nga e verteta, aha...
 
Kaloj ne rruge shpesh e hutuar
Me shikojne dy hapa larg
Si cdo njeri i dashuruar
Ne sy mbaj veç një imazh
 
Me puth sa here kerkoj
E ndjej ne cast nje mall
I mbyll dy syte harroj
Jam mbretereshë si ne perralle
 
Dua te behem paksa e krisur
Dua te behem me lot ne sy
Dua a te behem e gjum i prishur
Dua te behem imazhi yt
 
Dua te behem paksa e krisur
Dua te behem me lot ne sy
Dua a te behem e gjum i prishur
Dua te behem imazhi yt
 
Kaloj ne rruge shpesh e hutuar
Me shikojne dy hapa larg
Si cdo njeri i dashuruar
Ne sy mbaj veç një imazh
 
Me puth sa here kerkoj
E ndjej ne cast nje mall
I mbyll dy syte harroj
Jam mbretereshë si ne perralle
 
Dua te behem paksa e krisur
Dua te behem me lot ne sy
Dua a te behem e gjum i prishur
Dua te behem imazhi yt

Dua te behem paksa e krisur
Dua te behem me lot ne sy
Dua a te behem e gjum i prishur
Dua te behem imazhi yt
 
(Dua te behem) paksa e krisur
(Dua te behem) me lot ne sy
(Dua te behem) imazhi yt
 
E ndjehesh tjeter njeri
E shtrenjte te duket jeta
E ndjehesh tjeter njeri
E shtrenjte te duket jeta

The Image of You

 How strange the feeling in your soul
One love invades your very being
Another me or so I'm told
And life takes on another meaning

Day after day, I go through the motions
Stumbling my way, life is a whirl
Slave of my love, of my emotions
You're in my eyes, you're in my life

One kiss, one heart in time
A kiss, the moment is mine
I close my eyes, I breathe
I'm queen of the world of make-believe

You make me feel a little crazy
You make me see your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
If you make me feel the image of you

You make me feel a little crazy
You make me see your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
If you make me feel the image of you

One kiss, one heart in time
A kiss, the moment is mine
I close my eyes, I breathe
I'm queen of the world of make-believe

You make me feel a little crazy
You make me see your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
If you make me feel the image of you

You make me feel a little crazy
You make me see your tears are true
You make my days and nights so hazy
If you make me feel the image of you

(You make me feel) a little crazy
(You make me see) your tears are true
(You make me feel) the image of you

I know it's just a dream
I feel our love, this life
I know it's just a dream
I feel our love, this life
