Portugal PORTUGAL 2015 - Leonor Andrade - Há um mar que nos separa

[Sim]

Hope to see Portugal again in the final, you deserved it last year

The 12 songs will be divided into two semifinals, with 6 songs each. The two most voted by the televote will take the ticket to the big final. A third song will be selected by the composers. In the final, 6 songs will be presented and the two most voted by the televote and a third by the jury will compete in a Super Final, which will be broadcasted in the same evening. The remaining 3 songs will be chosen exclusively by the televote and the most voted will represent Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015.

As long as it's not as dragged out as long as it was last year.

Knowing RTP and Portuguese TV in general I doubt it

Hopefully the songs will have quality that's the most important thing. However I'm worried with the fact there's so much televoting. It should be 50/50, but the jury should be made of a small group of actual music professionals and not the ridiculous districts jury they had before.
Also happy with the superfinal having 3 songs instead of 2.

Another news, there will be a band in all the shows, the dates are rumoured to be March 3rd, 5th and 7th and it seems like RTP will completely decide how the performance of all the song will be made, which I think is pretty stupid.

Last years was like 2 hours + for 6 songs. I almost died.

 

[samu3l]

I'm really expecting a lot from Portugal this year. Yeah, we know we never choose the right song but the most important for me is to have some great songs and choose one of them. If not, well, bye bye Finals.

 

[ParadiseES]

Six songs + voting + superfinal + new voting... I can see a looooong evening

 

[Iuris]

'A third song will be selected by the composers'

REALLY? Lol

Well, I hope Rui try again...

Zapping TV announces that the portuguese final will take place on the 7th of March. But it is not the official confirmation.

It's official: Semi-finals 3rd and 5th of March and Final on the 7th of March.

[Jonaxh]

Will we hear the songs before the semifinals? It's typical portuguese, everything done at the last second possible...

 

[kengaIME]

I'm guessing will only hear the songs pretty close to the day of the semi final.

 

[kengaIME]

So, some names have been leaking:

- Augusto Madureira
- Adelaide Ferreira
- Teresa Radamanto
- Miguel Gameiro with Leonor Andrade
- Diana Piedade

So far, that's what we have. :?

 

[GRE]

What about that desperate man that tried to represent Portugal a couple of times?

 

[kengaIME]

What about that desperate man that tried to represent Portugal a couple of times?

You mean Rui Andrade X-OI
For now that's all we have. But don't lose your hope yet...

 

[Iuris]

Adelaide Ferreira is the same person as her?

Rui, I'm waiting for you.
