Expand the lead to include that it was the 16th time Albania had competed in the Eurovision Song Contest since its first entry in 2004, its preparations for ESC and the nation's results in the contest
"The national broadcaster of Albania, Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH), organised the 57th of Festivali i Këngës to select their entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Tel Aviv, Israel.

"for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Tel Aviv, Israel." - 2019
"It was the sixteenth time, in which, the competition determined Albania's representative for the contest." - same issue as above
How about including a summary of how the list for Festivali i Këngës was determined to be in line with other xxxx at the Eurovision Song Contest xxxx at GA level?
The three tables from this section and the final section should include scope="col" to each of their columns to meet MOS:DTT
"The list of competing artists and songs eventually were revealed on 17 October 2018." - were offically revealed
"The contest featured a change with the two semi-finals: all the acts would perform twice in the semi-finals. During the first semi-final, on 20 December 2018, the competing artists traditionally performed with the Symphonic orchestra, while in the second semi-final, on 21 December 2018, they performed the final version of their entries." - this whole paragraph requires reliable sources to verify the information
Also you could mention who presented the semi-finals, the exact time they started and any interval acts
"the competing artists traditionally performed with the Symphonic orchestra," - a symphonic orchestra
The second semi-final table needs to be referenced

The jury was composed of Agim Krajka, Arta Marku, Dorian Çene, Haig Zacharian, Olsa Toqi, Pali Kuke, Rona Nishliu, Rovena Dilo and Shpëtim Kushta." - All this portion of text needs to be backed up by reliable sources to verify that it is correct

The table for the final needs to be fully referenced
"premiered on the official YouTube channel of the Eurovision Song Contest on 10 March 2019." - the Eurovision Song Contest's official YouTube channel on 10 March 2019.

"On 28 January 2019, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals," - please state where the draw was held

Consider adding information on Albanian's portion of the contest such as who was doing what and what they were dressed like and who directed/choreographed the performance

"The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results will be released shortly after the grand final." - were released soon after
All the tables below this section will need to be fully referenced
Furthermore the tables should have scope="col" added to every single column to comply with MOS:DTT
I'm afraid that I will have to fail this nomination for lack of variability and broadness of content. I suggest that the nominator review all of the above the points and take the appropriate actions to improve the article before it is re-nominated at GAN.

Hello @MWright96:, I want to thank you for your great review and your understandable comments. I'm currently working on the article and I will nominate it at a later time again. Thank you again, I greatly appreciate your feedback. Grettings!--Lorik17 (talk) 19:27, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed
This is the first time of mine reviewing a Eurovision Song Contest article, but I have similar experience in reviewing songs relevant to Eurovision and concert articles, so hopefully this will go well! --K. Peake07:42, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"It consisted of two semi-finals on 20 and 21 December," → "The competition consisted of two semi-finals on 20 and 21 December, respectively,"
"confirmed its participation" → "confirmed the nation's participation" to be specific since otherwise it sounds like the broadcaster confirmed its participation
"for artists and composers" → "for creators and performers" since that is what the source actually says
"on 17 October 2018 shortlisted" → "on 17 October 2018, being shortlisted"
"The semi-finals took place" → "The semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 took place"
"at 20:45 (CET), respectively." → "at 20:45 (CET) on the respective dates." with the target, because "respectively" is not appropriate here when there is only one time mentioned, despite the two separate days
"The grand final took place" → "The grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 took place"
Remove target on CET
"On the same day prior to" → "On the same day, prior to" since this is more specific and otherwise, it may read as if you mean the same day that proceeded the show
"announced as the country's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest." → "announced as Albania's representative for the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest."
@Iaof2017: Did some slight copy editing of the lead after you mentioned the music video and live performances but other than that, this article is ready to go. ✓Pass after a very quick response from you, only hours after my review! --K. Peake15:59, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Iaof2017: Best of greetings to you as well and it is great how you kept giving thanks for all of my edits; I may review your other Eurovision Song Contest GAN sometime soon actually! --K. Peake16:24, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: I really appreciate your work and of course that would be super amazing if you could review other Eurovision articles as well. I'm also planning to work extensively on more articles to get a GA status, after my exams for uni of course. And yeah thanks again and good health for you and your family for the new year :)--Lorik17 (talk) 18:21, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for a week; although this article has a considerable amount of issues, it looks a lot better from when the previous review was undertaken! --K. Peake 11:07, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
