I feel that the dream of having a song that I absolutely love this year is fading away. I wish I could get behind Mimicat, but I don't like that song at all.
Go Edmundo!

Manifesting!

The portuguese top 50 viral from spotify a day before the semifinal:

#06 Mimicat
#08 Edmundo Inácio
#09 Voodoo Marmalade
#11 Nasci Maria
#13 Dapunksportif
#19 Bandua
#25 Lara Li
#27 Esse Povo
#30 Inês Apenas
#31 Churky
#46 SAL
#48 Alessandra
#49 Marco Mengoni

On youtube Mimicat's video has the most views of the first semifinal(261k at 16h cet) and is trending at #17, Cláudia is also trending at #23.
Edmundo has the most viewed video of the second semifinal, but his numbers than Cláudia in the same spawn of time, she reached 100k on 3 days(on the 27th) and for Edmundo it took 7 days.

Although regarding the numbers on youtube I'm a bit unsure if they will mean anything tomorrow, I regard them as a way to predict how the public may vote and in the last two years it wasn’t the views but the engagement(comments and likes) that was the best way to predict it, and although Mimicat has by far more engagement on youtube, it's basically impossible to know if Edmundo would have more or less engagement had he performed on the first semifinal, also on instagram Cláudia has more engagement than Mimicat, by a lot, and other social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok are a blind spot for me. So, could Cláudia win the televote thanks to tik tok? I don't know, but looking at the numbers, I'm certain that, regarding the televote, the winner will either be Cláudia, Edmundo or Mimicat.

 

[goncalovieira]

Mimicat is winning the televote.
Usually who votes goes for this kind of really portuguese vibe songs. She has a lot of Deolinda.

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

Yeah I think Mimicat will win afterall.

Taking in account the fact that Mimicat and Claudia performances are still in the Portuguese Youtube trending, the heavy jury and televote disagreements in semi 2, and remembering what happened in 2020 + remembering that it's the televote that solves ties in the final; it's quite possible to conclude that Mimicat will definitely win.
IF the jury 12 doesn't go to Mimicat but someone else way lower on the televote, it's only Claudia who could 10+10 her way through a win like she did her 2018 semifinal (although by being the second best option after the best option got DSQ'd).

maybe we'll see all of the Semifinal 1 (regular) qualifiers outscore the Semifinal 2 regular qualifiers like in 2022, too!

You Can't Win, Charlie Brown - Contraste Mudo(acoustic version)

 

[midnightsun]

The best song the Beatles have ever released!

I LOVE this! This version is sooo good!

If anyone is curious about how Mimicat will be dressed tomorrow, Neon Soho posted a instastory of her and Voodoo Marmalade jamming jamming together in the dressing rooms.
You can see it here

Seems like there will again be an NF where my favorite gets 2. place. Been a curse for me this year. Hoping so much for Edmundo or Charlie Brown. I adore these two songs.

 

[midnightsun]

For me it’s YCWCB or Neon Soho but I have a feeling none of them will win.

 

[goncalovieira]

It will be between Mimicat and Edmundo.
However, let's do not forget about 2021... Nobody could see TBM winning.

Sooo nervous for tonight, especially cause I got (very expensive duuuh) ticket for the first semi in Liverpool..thus I want to see one of 6 I ADORE from FdC live in Arena!!

I usually find songs I love in the portuguese selection. These last years none of them have been picked as winner. But this year might be different (?). I would be very content with both Mimicat and Edmundo representing Portugal in Liverpool. The first makes me smile the second brings tears to my eyes...
Caudia does nothing of that sort to me...

You got "" from me for Edmundo part of the comment...

 

[goncalovieira]

Not Claudia. (PLEASE GOD)

 

[goncalovieira]

The thing is... Edmundo's song is really good but not that competitive. That is the question.
