Judges
This year, Juliana Pasha and Vesa Luma were replaced by the new judges, Altuna Sejdiu and Soni Malaj. The reason that Pasha and Luma did not continue their mentoring job, was generally due to their music commitment. Altuna Sejdiu, the new judge, was a part of last year's X Factor auditions in Tirana, replacing Vesa Luma. After the withdrawal of Pasha and Luma, it was rumoured that Altuna Sejdiu will be a part of the show. Together with her, Kosovo-based Albanian singer, Eliza Hoxha was also rumoured to be a judge. However, a few days before the show aired, TV Klan held a press conference explaining the procedure and the new judges. Bojken Lako was also a guest-judge in the auditions.
