In an exclusive interview for "Top Story", Bleona Qereti tells the moment she performed for the first time at the Song Festival when she was only 15 years old and the 'clash' she had with Vera Grabocka over her outfit, for which she thanks her.
"I'm very glad that finally someone in Albania decided to look at the person behind the person who comes to the stage and who makes the decisions for this person who comes to the stage. Every journalist has dealt with the superficial person on stage.
I have always known who I am. The first problem I have with people is that they either accept me 100% or they don't accept me. I would like to highlight, today it occurred to me, I was 15 years old when I sang at the Festival and I saw the dress at Miss Europe 1995. Without anyone knowing, I was accepted at the Festival. At that time, there were only five names that were accepted at the Festival. Selim Ishmaku, Alfred Kaçinari, Vera Gabrocka, Zhani Ciko, Alqi Boshnjaku.
The dress was talked about in terms of size and size is part of the marathon. I want to stretch. The artist who resists the times is truly an artist. What I've been really aware of is that I know how to resist time.
I wouldn't focus on the physical element, but on the resistance over time, to come out in the same suit after 30 years. Back then there was only television. Today it's very easy to become famous.
If these names told you that you were not accepted into the Festival, you would not have a second chance. With my rebelliousness, I went to the wardrobe and the person in charge said to me: 'If Vera Grabocka sees you here, she will strangle us both'. I go, take the dress and while I was zipping it up, Vera Grabocka comes in and says to me: 'Where are you going half-naked?'. I stayed, while Vera closed the door.
"I realized that if I went out in this outfit at the Festival where Vera Grabocka was the director, the answer would be no. In the middle of the performance, I took off my cape and Vera Grabocka held the camera to me and the next day when I woke up, I was Bleona Qereti ," the artist said, among other things.
