Albania: Ledina Celo to make a comeback in FiK?

The Albanian representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Kiev, Ledina Celo, has returned to her homeland after spending living and working for 2 years in Germany. This week she has released a new single and has stated that she would like to take part in Albanian music festivals again.

Ledina Celo spent a little more than two years in Germany during which she worked with the German producer Nice Wieditz. Earlier this year Ledina released her successful single Dangerous in several versions.

Ledina's return to Albania was marked by a special photo shoot for the local magazine Anabel, an interview about her life and a new single. This week she has released one more new single called Superstretching. The song is already available on iTunes.

In the interview Ledina stated that she would like to participate again in Albanian music festivals. However, the Albanian singer hasn't confirmed any participation yet.

Ledina Celo represented Albania in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev with her song Tomorrow I go. The song was composed by Adrian Hila, the man behind the  Albanian entries in 2007 and 2008. Ledina finished 16th in the final in Kiev.

You can listen to Superstretching here.

One of the worst Albanian entries along with that "song" from 2006 .......... 2004,2009 and 2010 were their best :D

It was great entry in 2005.

Wish to see her again in ESC. ;)

I wanna see her back at esc. She’s f….ing good and she’s the hottest singer ever at esc.

Ledina Celo made best eurovision performance for Albania ever. It was completely underrated.

2005 was a golden year for me.

I hope Ledina Celo or Olta Boka to come back.

I believ Ledina and her group spoiled the whole song with that horrendous performance. Those stupid backings with those fake violins.. Not even pretending to play them.. it looked like a tacky pantomine... But the song is really great, although I preferred it big time in Albanian language..... The words are stupid in English.

I'd rather like to see Anjeza Shahini or Olta Boka coming back...

I liked Ledina's "Neser Shkoj", the English version was already worse and the performance gave that song the rest...

That was the girl with the silly fake-violin back-up dancers? That wasn't that good.

I like Tomorrow I Go, but it should've been Neser Shkoj on stage. I wonder if she would've qualified in any other year...

Should've performed in Albanian :P.

Oh, I really liked "Neser Skoj"/"Tomorrow I Go" :) Ledina have a good voice live and with the right song, she have a potential for Top 5 ;)

I was shocked that she came 16th.Was in my top 5 that year.Hopefully she comes back to ESC to win it.

Sure, why not, but I want to see some new names too! And if anyone's coming back I hope it's Alban Skenderaj! (L)

2005 had 2 good ethnic entries, that's so rare in ESC, i think will never happen: Albania and of course NOX from Hungary! (L)

Uuu that's what Marko calls good news! :D :D
It was so AMAZING entry, one of few ethnic entries in ESC which are good and not fake!
But as I know it's very difficult to make something like that not to look fake and awful I hope she will have different style, I saw so many songs of her in different style...and she is among the most beautiful singers in ESC ever, this pic is AMAZING! :D

I really hope Fatjeta will try in FIK, please check her song:

But we all know that ethnic songs like this are one a 100 years unfortunately, they are usually trash like Albania in 2006 for example! I wish those guys are gone from the World, they were definition of trash! Outfit worse than in horror movie, just check backing singers! :S

Yes :D ! Tomorrow I go was one of the best in 2005 !! very underrated...hope she comes back to the running for esc with something as good as that entry..!

The only one I want back is Anjeza Shahini, she should have won FiK this year.

Shared first place on my Albanian list together with Olta Boka. I wouldn't mind to see Ledina in ESC again, not at all!
