Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Refs should be avoided in the lead per MOS:CITELEAD and be used in the main body of the prose
"organised the 58th edition of Festivali i Këngës in order to select" - the text in bold is unneeded
"announced the contest's cancellation due to the pandemic of the coronavirus (COVID-19)" - coronavirus disease 2019

"Prior to the 2020 Contest," - contest doesn't need to start with a capital letter
"with Eugent Bushpepa finishing in eleventh place with "Mall" and Jonida Maliqi finishing in seventeenth place with "Ktheju tokës"." - try to change the second mention of the word "finishing" with a similar alternative word

"organised the 58th edition of Festivali i Këngës in order to select Albania's entrant" - the text in bold is not needed
"19 December and 20 December 2019 and the grand final on 22 December 2019." - the year does not need to be repeated twice in close succession if it is the same one
"It consisted of two semi-finals on 19 December and 20 December 2019 and the grand final on 22 December 2019." - this sentence is not mentioned by Eurovix. Please located a reliable source that explicitly mentions these dates
"however, submission process closed on 15 September 2019." - the submission process closed on September.
"The list of competing artists was released on 24 October 2019, and the songs were released on 9 December 2019." - same issue as the second query that I have raised in this section

"They qualifiers were selected by a jury" - The qualifying songs
"a jury consisting of two national members and three international members with connections to the" - try to avoid mentioning the word "members" in the same sentence
Delink Eurovision Song Contest since it is already linked earlier in the article
"In regard to the shows, the first semi-final was opened by the country's 2019 Eurovision Song Contest entry Jonida Maliqi performing her song" - reduce the amount of wikilinks per MOS:SEAOFBLUE

"The twelve finalists were announced one day prior to the aforementioned date," - the day before
"on 21 December 2019." - the year isn't needed since it is mentioned in the first sentence of this paragraph

"On 28 January 2020 at the allocation," - please state the building where the allocation took place
"the contest was cancelled on 18 March 2020." - the year is unneeded here since it is mentioned in regards due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in Europe
"though each broadcaster would be able to send either their 2020 representative or a new one.[25]>" - the greater-than sign needs to be deleted

Reference 4 is a duplicate of Reference 24 and should be deleted
Reference 8 is missing the author of the article and the date it was published
References 10, 13, 14, 17 do not have the authors who wrote the respective pieces
The author of Reference 11 is not Wiwibloggs but Åri Agam
Reference 18 is missing the date it was published

Am going to place the review on hold to allow the nominator to address/query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 17:01, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Iaof2017: Now promoting to GA class. I've made a minor change to the article that I did not pick up in this review. MWright96 (talk) 13:44, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
