Kënga Magjike 2007
Kënga Magjike 2007, an Albanian song competition, took place in the Palace of Congresses in Tirana, Albania. There were two semifinals (23 & 24 November 2007) and a final (25 November 2007). 54 songs were heard in advance by the public at home, which narrowed them down to 40 songs by televoting. These songs competed in the semi-finals but only 18 made it to the final. 10 songs were voted into the finals by the singers and 8 songs by the jury. In the end, Aurela Gaçe won the first prize. Florjan Mumajesi & Soni Malaj were the runners up. The winner was determined by the singers who voted for each other.
