The singer, Samanta Karavella, has revealed the real reason why she withdrew from the "Song Festival".
According to her, the song was too rhythmic and therefore she was not allowed to perform, which, as she said, would create an atmosphere in the Palace of Congresses.
"There has been a lot of speculation about the festival, for me it was a topic that I don't want to mention at all, but I have a clarification for my audience, which has been waiting for my return to the festival. The first participation was at the age of 14. The song that I have chosen for the festival, that I created in 2 days because it was the energy that I want to go, is a song with potential and rhythm.
The song started with 'eagle', and it would create an unprecedented atmosphere in the "Palace of Congresses", I was very impressed. The truth is that I was not allowed to perform, and I could not sing that rhythmic song without performing. These were the criteria of the festival this year. It was not allowed to anyone," said the singer on the show "Let me speak" on Tch.
Samantha also had a comment about the hypothesis that the winner is predetermined.
"These are speculations, the media always talk about it, even when it comes to an artist with a name, it could be my name as well. I don't know anything about this, I hope it will be the public's choice", said Samanta.
Meanwhile, the artist and singer known to Albanians, Sardi, has confirmed the news that he has also withdrawn from the competition at the Song Festival at RTSH.
The singer stated that he left the competition for personal reasons related to the live festival, but adding that he could not share details.
"I withdrew due to personal issues related to the festival. However, I'm very excited right now, I might say a word wrong and I don't want to express myself wrong. But I will clarify, I will clarify in the future...", - said Sardi, leaving it at that, but confirming that he, too, has already decided to withdraw from the Festival.
Casey Tola also withdrew from this race earlier.
