Re: PORTUGAL 2013
Apparently, RTP will be concessioned (I really don't know if this is the correct term in English, sorry). I mean, it's being partially privatized for some years. I'm not sure how this will affect Portugal's participation in ESC. I don't believe they'll withdraw, to be honest. Maybe things will change.

Re: PORTUGAL 2013
Hopefully, I mean Portugal has been sending good stuff recently (minus 2011) but maybe some bigger name is needed. I don't know if would help. Hard to say. Giving it a try would a good option.
Nelly Furtado is a great dream, but still a dream only...
Anyway... for a male act I would like to see Rui Andrade or David Fonseca.
I dunno, maybe he's too good too and won't be appreciated as well.

I'm starting to believe for the reasons that were mentioned by Miguel, that there won't be Portugal in the context in 2013

I would hate to see Portugal withdraw. I am still dreaming of one day going to Lisboa for the grand finals... I would love to see Portugal high on the score list for once. Maybe with some more "brasilian flavour" Portugal could do well?

Re: PORTUGAL 2013
I wouldn't like it either, Tiger, but I really don't believe we will take part in the next context with all these confusing things happening: economic problems and public channel being privatized ... :?

Re: PORTUGAL 2013
The things in Greece are even worst than Portugal and Greece still participates and will be in Malmo too. I don't believe that Portugal will withdraw and of course I don't want it. I like the Portuguese music so much!

I hope that if Portugal were to participate in 2013 it will send a strong song. All the songs sent by Portugal in recent years were weak and not suitable for an Eurovision grand final.
Greece has confirmed!? o.0The things in Greece are even worst than Portugal and Greece still participates and will be in Malmo too. I don't believe that Portugal will withdraw and of course I don't want it. I like the Portuguese music so much!

I liked Portugese ESC 2012 entry, didn't like ESC 2011 entry, 2010 and 2009 were ok, but Senhora do mar is still my fave Portugese entry (I'm still sorry for Canta Por Mim not winning on Portugese NF

RTP's situation is so messy at the moment. :? There's a new administration. However, I still don't see how can this affect Portugal's participation, since there is a particular staff which handles Eurovision stuff. And like Jim said above, Greece is in a worse financial condition than Portugal and they keep participating. There's plenty of time until then. I hope there's news about it this year, though.

What are the RTP TV ratings from 2012?

Re: PORTUGAL 2013
Good question. RTP's ratings were pretty messed up at that time. GfK, a market research organisation, didn't do their job properly. There was a big confusion surrounding TV ratings some months ago.
Therefore, it's not a surprise SF 2 getting the worst Eurovision rating ever here (share: 18,6%). My point is: people were not interested in Eurovision, but not that much.

However, ratings would not be the problem because they are not huge since a long time ago. The only issue is the possible concession.

Eurovision Concert Portugal
Last Saturday the 8th of September we had the pleasure of attending the Eurovision Live Concert in Setubal, Portugal, where we met many artists that have participated in the Eurovision Song Contest over the years. In the attached video you can check out some of the performances from the concert.
An impressive list of artists performed on Saturday the 8th of September at the 2012 Eurovision Live Concert in Portugal. This concert took place for the fourth year in a row at the José Afonso Auditorium in Setubal and it featured performances not only by Eurovision Song Contest artists but also Portuguese artists that tried to represent their country in the European competition.
Among the performing artists there was Niamh Kavanagh, Irish winner of the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest with In Your Eyes and selected as the performer for Ireland again in 2010 with It's For You. Also on stage in Setubal we met Eleftheria Eleftheriou, this year's Greek Aphrodisiac, the Swiss band Sinplus that rocked Baku and Setubal with Unbreakable, and the Dutch Joan Franka, who sang You & Me in the Second Semi-Final this year.
You can watch some excerpts of their Setubal experience in our following videos:

Eurovision without Portuguese language will not be the same, although sometimes they didn't qualify.

Re: PORTUGAL 2013
I was playing SongPop on facebook today. I bought the Brega Hits playlist (under the brazilian flag) and a song called "Me Libera" came up! I listened to it on youtube and I totally loved it! I looked up the group (Banda Djavú) and I think they're Portuguese. Can someone confirm it please? Oh and I found 2 videos of the song but with different singers... Why is that?
