Ah, thanx for the reference!

It's a matter of perspective, but I think you can give a song zero points. Even if it's not a copy of another song, if it is meaningless, then it is so. I personally don't give too many zero Points out of human reasons, but there are exceptions when a song just doesn't move my soul in any aspect. No matter if it has a melancholic, cheerful or serious message.

Really? Yet another copy of Salvador? And from Portugal?

I will give it 2 poits, becasue I am ia good mood right now.

This has nothing to do with Salvador. This really feels like you're saying "Oh, a ballad? Salvador copy"

I'm afraid Porto won't have an arena built in time for that. However Braga 2019 is plausible :lol:

I like the song and the pink hair but what's up with the girl in the chair? She is just sitting there.
Salvador had better staging. 8 points for the song.

The other girl is the composer. The song is an homage to her passed grandma. I actually like the way she's just sitting there with her back turned only to face us during the 2nd chorus. I think it adds emotion. But i understand it may look confusing without a context :mrgreen:

I heard the song 3 times before reading the comments in here. I am really surprised of the general positivity of the comments and the points given!
Unfortunately this song does nothing for me. I find it quite booring even after having heard it 3 times. And there is something in Claudias voice that I dont find appealing at all. I love the portugese language - but that is the most positive thing I can say about this entry.
I am afraid Portugal will end up on the right side of the scoreboard. I just cant see this doing well.

Exactly my thoughts on this. I have to admit though, that after the 3rd listening I kind of started to understand why people might like this, but that hasn't changed the way I feel about this song.

Thanks for the explanation. If they keep it this way in Eurovision, they shouldn't expect people to understand it better than Occidentali's Karma, so changing it would make a lot of sense.
