Portugal is my favourite Eurovision country with the exception of ESC 2021.

2021 was not that bad... but I agree, its the weakest portuguese entry of the last 5 contests.

2020 was worse though, good thing the contest never happened.

 

[Mimmon]

I would love something like this to participate again...
Such a guilty pleasure

both in my top 15

Portugal is such an amazing country lately. it's one of those countries along italy and the netherlands, on which you can always rely for sending sth. good.

I hope she will participate. What a voice. She has been around for a long time in several talen shows and colaborations in other artists singles, but has recently been more acknowledged, specially with the cover she has been doing for this youtube channel.

It is going to be another year with the best portuguese composers. Actually, I am kinda sure about Fernando Daniel participation as a composer and lead singer. Gisela João as well.

 

[Laepo1]

Gisela Joao? Isnt she too big for this?

Aurea was deemed to big to compete in FdC as well though so you never know.

Aurea was deemed to big to compete in FdC as well though so you never know.

I guess... but I know exactly two songs from Aurea and shes virtually unknown outside Portugal while Gisela is touring internationally, i saw her not so long ago in berlin.
Regardless, I hope Gisela competes, its good to have a big name every now and then.

After Carolina Deslandes and Aurea, there is no impossible names.

Some examples of previous works of the composers that will competing in 2023

André Henriques

Note: André Henriques has some songs as a solo artist but he is most well known as the vocalist of the band Linda Martini

April Ivy

Bandua

Bárbara Tinoco

Note: Last time Bárbara was competing as a singer this time it will be as a composer, the above song was written by her

Churky

Cláudia Pascoal

Note: Like Tinoco, Cláudia will be competing this time as a composer not as a singer, the above song was written by her

Dapunksportif

Emundo Inácio

Note: Couldn't find an original song written by him, this is a cover he did in The Voice Portugal

Inês Apenas

Ivandro

 

[Decayingbooks]

Jacinta

Mimicat

Moyah

Neon Soho

Quim Albergaria

Note: Quim Albergaria has two very distinct projects, Bateu Matou and Paus, I don't like Paus so I really hope that he he will be competing as Bateu Matou

SAL

Teresinha Landeiro

The Happy Mess

Voodoo Marmalade

You Can't Win Charlie Brown

 

[Decayingbooks]

I'm very exited to see Cláudia Pascoal back as I think she has grown a lot as a performer, also exited for the possibility of having Bateu Matou in the competition.
In general is seems it will be a very diverse year, but sadly we don't know the songs yet, so, as every year, some fan favorites may bring some bland songs and flop, while unknown artists can conquer both the judges and public.
