Moon Safari No they didn't. She had to leave Albania because of the civil war very early. She doesn't even speak Albanian anymore and she has grown up in Greece. Yes, her heritage doesn't change and it's horrible how she had to hide it to be successful, but she is naturalized Greek. Shqiparet i duan me zor te vetet por duhet ta pranoni per ate qe eshte si kengetare, jo vetem faktet qe te te pelqejn ty. She's proud to be Albanian BUT to have grown up in Greece as well. Stop trying to start a conflict. Both countries should be proud af of her.
Unknown Anon 1. She is Albanian with a Greek passport, end of story. 2. She lived in a horrible backwards Greek society and discriminated against (remember Greece at that time was a count that was living off charity from the EU so it was nice to live there but the people are not nice). 3. She should know move to Albania or somewhere else in the world for eg. Australia and become a naturalised Australian and live a happy life.
Moon Safari She left Albania at a young age and literally lived her entire life in Greece. Y'all are so patriotic, but she's denied having Albanian heritage literally until someone exposed her, and even then she keeps saying she loves Greece. Shqiparet e dun po ajo s'na do ne kushedi. Dhe me arsye. Tkisha nejt un greqi krejt jeten time, as mu sdo me plaste. Leje qe ajo sdo me e humb audiencen qe ka atje. Stop trying so hard to claim this performer when she's obviously a product of both countries, and even that is the max level of contribution I can give to Albania. She's had to live through terrible xenophobia her entire life and you're not making it better.
Moon Safari She shouldn't move to Albania because she's worked hard to gain an audience in Greece, and Albania is in a terrible economical state, full of corruption and injustice. Albanian politics and Albanian culture are not the same thing. You can hate your government but love your identity and culture. When you live in another country you entire life, it grows on you, and Greece has obviously grown on Eleni because she says she loves the country. She's living a happy life already, she doesn't need to come back to Albania (which is a terrible idea) or go to Australia to live a happy life lmao. Stop making her seem more passionate about having Albanian heritage than she is, and look at how things REALLY are.
William, I know you got a degree from Harvard and could choose any career you wanted. But if you get to interview Eleni Foureira like this, you have the best job in the world!
She is amazing , and her words "Girls we are powerful , we are sexy and there's nothing wrong with that" really grew on me and made me aware of the fact that I can wear what I like and don't worry about opinions of others.
I don't thing that I've ever been so excited about a contestant as I am for Eleni and Cyprus this year!!! She may end up being my personal winner..!!! Her charisma and her Fuego are undeniable!!!
Something about watching her and seeing how she performed on that stage during her rehearsal just makes me so happy. She embodies humility and confidence at the same time and in the best of ways.
She has sold me tbh I would love for Cyprus to win and she would deserve it she gave it everything . So humble and lovely and her fangirling of William warms my heart
very proud of her, first she experienced so much hate and so much racism in the past because of her albanian origin and now look where she stands, where she is representing a foreign country at eurovision, very proud of her 🇦🇱 slay albanian beauty 🇦🇱
Beautiful Life Greqia eshte popull shume racist dhe per kete arsye ajo nuk e tregoj ne menyre qe karriera e saj te vazhdonte dhe kur erdhi momenti ajo e tha!!
@Beautiful Life mendoj se jane te dyja gjerat bashke, ajo kishte turp ta pranonte dhe shoqeria greke eshte me te vertete raciste. por jam dakord me ty, nk ka justifikim , sido qe te jete situata, njeriu duhet te pranoje vetveten dhe te shkuaren e tij. Por cfare pret aman nga nje kengetare mediokre? Nuk i kam lene shpresat e mia per perparesim tek ajo apo shume te tjere si ajo.
Njerez kush jeton ne Greqi e din sa rraciste jan greket me ne. Une e kuptoj ate. Shum her ne jemi te detyruar ta mohojm se na shajn na paragjykojn biles mua ne shkolle me mbeten se jam shqiptare. Me pak fjale na trajtojn si trajtojm ne jevgjit.
@Karolina Gjoka edhe une jashte jetoj, skam pasur asnjehere problem te them qe jam shqiptare, skam pasur as probleme ne jeten e perditshme, me karrieren apo me studimet e mia, sepse per mua identiteti im eshte shume i rendesishem dhe sido qe te jete situata une luftoj per ate qe mendoj qe eshte e drejte dhe per ate qe dua , e kuptoj qe eshte me e veshtire jetesa nqs thua qe je shqiptare, apo kur ke emer shqiptar, por nqs e konsideron kulturen dhe identitetin tend te rendesishem, ske nevoje te gjesh rruge te shkurter apo me te lehte. Sido qe te jete, ajo zgjodhi te asimilohet plotesisht, zgjedhja e saj eshte fundja, por te mos flase me per Shqiperine. Per mua ajo te vazhdoje te thote qe eshte greke, thjesht eshte lindur ne Shqiperi kaq, ska nevoje te thote tani qe eshte krenare qe eshte Shqiptare, sepse e shikojme sh mire qe nuk eshte. Shqiperia ne mbetet ne te tjereve, ne qe e duam dhe e themi pa merak nga vijme, ne qe nuk asimilohemi (integrimi eshte dicka tjeter). Kjo eshte ajo qe shume te tjere donin te thonin.
Slayyyyy....😊 One of the best this year. And very nice person too... So natural, plain... My top five in random order definetly Finland, Slovenia, Cyprus, Austria, Sweden...
Damn girl!! I need a full live performance immediately, can't keep replaying those 46 seconds :P I've read all comments on how she is a great performer. To be honest, I've been quite sceptical, not because of her vocal or dancing abilities, but because of the song (not my cup of tea); until today!! She's got the full package and can't wait for the live show! Go girl! Much love from 🇵🇱from an 🇦🇱 ❤️
Beautiful Life ahaha joo nuk e besoj, sidomos tani që tha se është krenare të jetë shqiptare 😝 Megjithëse juria jonë sbesoj ti japi pikë (është Elton Deda, Kamela, Rosela Gjylbegu, Bojken Lako dhe dikush që se njoh), seshte their cup of tea either 😏
Beautiful Life unë sjam ndonjë patriote é thekur me thënë të drejtën edhe s'dua ta gjykoj, duke e ditur si na trajtojnë në botë e sidomos në Greqi, plus, është jeta e saj :D por jam fanse e thekur e eurovisionit ahaha kshuqe do ta dëgjoj me shumë qejf se është vërtet e talentuar 😊
rinesTe hmmm ajo ka qenë 7 vjeç kur ka ikur nga Shqipëria kshuqe s'mund të pretendosh që asaj ti vloje gjakun kur bëjnë shqiponjën me duar... Ose edhe mund ti vloje, po njerëzit reagojnë ndryshe ndaj patriotizmit që kanë përbrenda. Ajo është aty për veten e vet. Plus tjetra, patriotizmi i tepruar të çon në nacionalizëm edhe si dikush që jeton në një vend tejet nacionalist, me beso, është bad news...
rinesTe me ngatërroi ajo "bravo", ndjesë. Ka plot nga ata që e duan vendin e tyre pa e tepruar me thirrje patriotike (shpesh urrejtje ndaj kombeve të tjera), që bëjnë shqiponjën me duar vend e pavend apo pa e fshehur prejardhjen. Kam akoma shpresë që një ditë do bëhemi! :P natën e mirë!
OMG i love her ! She is so pretty. Thank you William, you are handsome. I have this funny impression that you truly like albanian people (Eleni, Eugent this year & Lindita, Eneda from the past years). They are all kind people, , thanks to you all Europe can see it, each year.
Evangelia I'm so sad that many Greek haters say that she thinks she is a Diva, and that she is very spoiled etc. But at the interviews she shows that she is a very simple, hilarious, and indeed talented person. I personally think that she is the queen of Eurovision this year!
Ioannis Kyprianou Yeah. I really think that nobody can judge the others by their looks or jobs. She doesn't behave like a diva at all. She is stunning and beautiful and talented and.. omg! I'm so excited for her. I haven't heard all the songs that are going to be included in the competition but I'm pretty sure Elenis' act is unique because this song is catchy and the stage will be on fire. I see so many Greeks that drag her because of the quality of Fuego and I'm definitely very disappointed with them. Eleni has definitely released many quality songs (mostly her ballads I think) and mostly hits that are are written in Greek. Even though Fuego has English lyrics I think it suits her perfectly because her accent is good and the song brings some sexy vibes that lead you to dance with.
I loved Fuego from the first listen. It sits at number 2 for me (Estonia is my number 1). Eleni is so talented & a beautiful person. She deserved to win.
i am just crying how hilarious this interview was! Eleni is just amazing .....!!!!! Foureira we love you ! you are going to burn the stage..as only you can do! kisses from Thessaloniki Makedonia Greece! We love you so much girl! FUEGO ON STAGE! BE CAREFULL PEOPLE!!!!!
Eleni : I wanna open my legs
William: I do it all the time
William you slay us 😂💞
Dusan13 That made me laugh out loud.
Best part of the interview literally
what is the time stamp
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Yuuuuuuck....
Eleni:There's is nothing wrong to open your legs
William: Yeah, I do it all the time
The best one ever
Eleni Foureira + Wiwi Blogs = ❤️
Best Interview ever she is PERFECT!
Her accent is the best!
She is so great! She was in my top 10, but after this rehersal she is my top 5 ❤️😍
Veronika Rouw She is the Albanian queen!!🇦🇱🇦🇱
She‘s like so funny, down to earth, crazy and serious at the same time. That’s the person everyone wants to hang out with.
their chemistry feels like they've been friends forever!
6:47 ...for those kind of ppl who claimed Eleni would be _"ashamed to be albanian"._
Now you can shut up.
🇦🇱🇨🇾🇬🇷
Go Cyprus. 12 points♡
And sing a song with Spanish title
Cyprus 2019...Why not???? Eleni has the whole package...Well Done Cyprus !!!!!
Biggest popstar of Eurovision
Such a great personality ❤
She is body goals
She’s Albanian and her name is Entela Fureraj. They forced her to change her name in Greece... because.. they’re Greeks
Moon Safari No they didn't. She had to leave Albania because of the civil war very early. She doesn't even speak Albanian anymore and she has grown up in Greece.

Sara S this is what she do. She takes ok songs and when she performs she makes them top songs
Than Kal Well done, Eleni. 😍
Than Kal exactly
Fuego personally ☺️🤗
I’m obsessed with her. She’s stunning!
Could be an amazing WiINNER ❤️
She is amazing , and her words "Girls we are powerful , we are sexy and there's nothing wrong with that" really grew on me and made me aware of the fact that I can wear what I like and don't worry about opinions of others.
She steals the limelight. Her personality demands attention. She has so much presence and you just cant take ur eyes off her. And im just in love😍😍😍
this is why I wanted her in the competition for so long 🔥😍
She's so sweet i love her ❤
What a GODDESS
The goddess of Eurovision, true diva! A huge 12 points from me!
ELENI WE LOVE YA GIRL!
I’m smiling all the way. What a lovely person! I hope she does super well this year and wish her all the luck she can get!
I don't thing that I've ever been so excited about a contestant as I am for Eleni and Cyprus this year!!! She may end up being my personal winner..!!! Her charisma and her Fuego are undeniable!!!
She’s the cutest
I need her to WIN! After Loreen a perfect diva !
Something about watching her and seeing how she performed on that stage during her rehearsal just makes me so happy. She embodies humility and confidence at the same time and in the best of ways.

ELENI 🔥😍

She's so gorgeous, lovely, talented and smart.
Wish her the best, with my hope Cyprus (or Bulgaria) will be the 2019 ESC host.
She is so amazing when she says "you are the eye of a lioness"
I truly believe this could be top 5 now in the final, dare I say top 3? Such a performer. Can’t wait for semi final one 😍
She has sold me tbh I would love for Cyprus to win and she would deserve it she gave it everything . So humble and lovely and her fangirling of William warms my heart

The crossover of the year !

I've been a fan of Eleni for years. I've also met her some years ago. She is so kind and talented. I'm so glad she is internationally famous now.
