not at all..i might squeeze it in my final top 40[MENTION=11532]EscGeek[/MENTION]
I suppose Portugal is your last atm for 2018!
Even "the random person sitting on the stage" won't help it..
spain is dead last (as i've predicted when it was selected)
and iceland is also horrible
i've also ranked germany and ireland lower than portugal

Did you like Portugal 2011 - Homens Da Luta - "Luta É Alegria"?
I hated it back then, but now I LOVE it!

It means just "The Garden"
Thanks for clarifying. I've thought that it could be the same as French au jardin.

This song really needed a later draw than that. Damn.

Indeed. Could have been worse tho, in the past few years the ones that performed there reached top 10

Judging by the final draws since 2014, most songs from 8 to 13 have good results, normally it's a strong block of songs

#8 has been getting good results lately, but I really think our song might need a later draw.
Oh well, with a strong staging we can do well from #8 still!

An ideal draw would be repeating Salvador's spot. But it's decent enough. We must wait to see if the slow paced tracks are moving to first half and the heavy hitters to second half or vice versa.

This is my favourite entry of this year, shared with Italy & France. It took a bit for it to capture my heart, but at this point I'm so in love with this song I fully feel like it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Especially as I tear up every time I think about it and even had a good 10 minute tears streaming cry to it today 
It just touches me immensely. I like how it's like a soothing wave (or a hammock in a garden in a sunny day, which is kind of what I picture when listening to this I suppose 
), but the lyrics hit you enough to make an impact and there's also enough highs and lows to me (i.e. when she goes higher with her beautiful voice) and the beat that comes in at the end works. But it definetly should stay as it is... Giving it more punch would ruin the charm it has in my opinion. Because it's not really a devastating sad song, it's just an immensely sweet song, in the exact way that makes me a sobbing mess yet fills my heart with so much love. Just like with Italy & France this year, or Jamala's tree ... life going on after death, light and beauty in the worst moments and the strength in that. It's not exactly a memorable song, I still don't really remember the melody after I listen to it (even though it's a beautiful melody obviously), but it's not necessary, because what you hear in those 3 minutes is enough and what matters. Just stunning, understated magic with so much love and feeling packed into such a simple package. And I do love this more than Amar Pelos Dois, because whilst I appreciated that song like crazy, it didn't quite get to me like this does. I really don't have a better word than 'beautiful' to sum it up

I kinda feel like it's a taboo for people to say that they like this song more than APD here in Portugal, but I actually do xsos and I love both, but ''O Jardim'' is just incredibly touching to me
I feel so grateful to have 2 great songs in a row representing my country, I need to enjoy this good wave while it lasts until we start sending forgettable songs again
