This. However, if he needs to take the votes from the grannies. He might take it out. (Jk)Tristeza is my favourite. Watching one of the YouTube reactions it was mentioned that Josh was on The Voice Portugal. I looked at a couple of videos and found the dick-slicer nails highly distracting. For such an emotional song we need to focus on his face.

I doubt that he will compromise that to win fdc, but the rosalia nails do make me wonder... João Borsch and Edmundo Inácio in the last 2 years ended in the second place in the final with two very gender non-conforming looks, but in Borsch's case the look was on par with the vibe of the staging. Not sure if people will react to Josh differently or if the nails will hinder his chances, but I've already seen some far-right weirdos commenting in the lyric videos and, sadly, I'm sure that the semi video will be filled with more of these idiots complaining about the nails.This.

For sure. And let's be real. Edmundo and João Borsch played well with on stage. It was something natural and part of their daily personas.I doubt that he will compromise that to win fdc, but the rosalia nails do make me wonder...

In the three cases the gender non-conforming way of dressing and expressing themselves seems natural to them. At the end of the day it is just an aesthetic decision and like any any other aesthetic decision people may or may not like it, I personally didn't liked Edmundo's look in 2023, but, and this may be just me worrying about everything and nothing, I do wonder if the length of the nails can be a deal breaker for some.Time to stop.

About Josh, I really do not know... it looks like is something fabricated. Not even artistic. But this may be an assumption.
The song is about being born in Madeira and not feeling at home outside of it in a"big city", my guess would be either Lisbon or Oporto. I think a lot of people from Madeira, Azores or just anyone that had to move away from their hometown connected with the song and that's why it has so many streams on spotify, altough on youtube the views and engagement level are quite low.Oh, NAPA being by far the most streamed, I'm here for it!
They will not take many votes from the juries. So, should be fine.The song is about being born in Madeira and not feeling at home outside of it in a"big city", my guess would be either Lisbon or Oporto.

NAPA is currently my number one, I just love it.
It is a nice song. However, not for Eurovision. Televote will not give points. In the end, we would receive some points from Switzerland, ROW and Spain.
I don't think an NQ for example would be tragicAnd like, RTP needs to get a good result this year. The government changed for the right conservative parties.
They tried to cut the budget without ads on public main channels. In the end, parliament said no.
I would not say they do not want to win because it is Portugal and if there is a chance of some propaganda, our prime minister says yes. However, a flop could be a barrier to keeping this team working.
They would need to be members of the EBU before they could replace RTP on Eurovision and I'm not even sure that they can apply to membership considering that EBU is a network of public broadcasters and SIC and TVI are private companies.I don't think an NQ for example would be tragic
Fortunately, this idea was rejected by Parliament. It could be the "end" of RTP (such as current knowledge)
But however, I believe that SIC or TVI could "get" Eurovision...

RTP main director already stated that Eurovision and EBU platform are one the biggest priorities for them. There are some reason to validate that... Carla Bugalho has a real chance of taking the supervisor role in the future, Nicolau Santos (RTP diretor) has a seat in the main EBU commission. I would not be surprise if we win very soon.Ah yes, I may not have expressed myself well, I wanted to mention that both SIC and TVI would be interested in participating
Of course, to participate, you would have to apply for membership in the EBU and be accepted as an active member (acceptance is not guaranteed)
I'm not aware of this rule, what I think is that the EBU favors public service channels.
Also, we are just speculating, for now I think Portugal's participation is more than assured.
