Albania will perform in the first half of semifinal 1!

The allocation draw for Eurovision Song Contest was held today in the host city Düsseldorf, during the Host City Insignia exchange. Aurela Gaçe will perform in one of the spots from 1-10 in the first semifinal, which will take place on Tuesday May 10th. The draw that will decide the starting number will be held on Monday March 14th.

It is still very early to tell whether this is a good draw for Albania or not. But based on earlier results of the countries, the first semi looks stronger than the second, containing all the winning nations from 2003-2009; 5 of them in the first half together with Albania.

The country that has given the highest average score to Albania since 2004, FYR Macedonia, will perform in the second semi. But Greece, Switzerland and Croatia, which place 2,3 and 4 in the statistic (counting only participating countries in 2011) are in Albania's semi.
