They are an enlightened people with an indigenous music scene similar to our trad' music (which is why they probably liked Dervish). Coming last in Eurovision shows us how revered (not) we are in Europe. Traditionally we were poor and likeable and we yearned to be liked. Now we are a wealthy nation that doesn't care what people think about us....... and it shows. p.s. What about those ungrateful Poles, Latvians and Lithuanians? Not one miserly vote between them for us. I wouldn’t be so hard on Albania.
