I hasn't been confirmed, but since 2021 that the singer of the previous year is the spokesperson of Portugal. Elisa was the spokesperson in 2021, Tatanka(frontman of Black Mamba) 2022, Maro 2023, Mimicat 2024, so in 2025 it will be iolanda.

They also had 5 days, at most, to send the info regarding the staging to EBU. I don't see how they would hire someone in such a small window, unless that someone was the person behind Fernando Daniel's staging. Him and Napa share the same record label, they could also foot the bill. In any case...

It won't, "Bara Bada Bastu" is more viral, overall, than "Deslocado". KAJ is #1 in the UK chart, for example.

ESCPortugal recently published an article mentioning that Napa's "Deslocado" is becoming a bit of a viral his in multiple countries. Currently, as in 16 of March, in Portugal "Deslocado" is #1 on the 100 Daily Viral, with another 4 songs from them in the same chart. In Finland is at #57. In...

I'm a bit unsure, there are some things that I like, like the vibe of the new intro and some of the new audio florishes, but overall it feels like a dj something remix. In any case the focus of the song are Melody's vocals and she continues to serve [tbd] like a pro and considering the lack of...

I know that they see the current system as a way to, basically, prevent another Homens da Luta or another Suzy from winnning the contest. Someone that, for a reason or another, can get a lot of support from the public but that may not be the best option for Portugal, but the thing is that they...

I also hope that things will change in the next year, but the judges also need to start taking how a song looks on tv into consideration and people should be rewarded for having a eurovision-ready concepts and stagings, but that would required RTP to have guidelines on what they should value in...

RTP last saturday revealed that they've received over 95k calls, considering that we have the percentages we can extrapolate an approximation of how many calls each artist got: Song % Televote Televote Henka - I Wanna Destroy U 29,83% 28 338 Napa - Deslocado 21,14% 20 083 Fernando...

With RTP revealing the % of the televote is is possible to calculate how the results would have been if the televote points where proportional to how people voted rather than just adding the top 10 of the judges to the top 10 of the televote. Song Judges % Televote Televote Total...

RTP just released the results of the nf: (images taken from escportugal)

I think you may be right about that and it's likely that he got a lower televote in the semi thanks to Mela, who was also from Madeira and didn't make it into the final.

I'm probably the only one in this forum that was all in for Henka to win the nf and I'm not aggrieved at all. To be honest I didn't even care to vote in the final. In Portugal the final televote is a bit iffy, it starts monday and you can vote a maximum of 25 times per day, meaning that a single...

I agree but I'm unsure if RTP agrees... In the post shows they have mentioned multiple times that the tv ratings are down but they see it as a inevitability. On the other hand they mention, with pride, that the engagement in the digital platforms is growing every year... So I doubt that the show...

I may have oversold it, tbh, Nebulossa reached #2 or #3 in the Global Viral Chart of Spotify for a week or so and it must have been thanks to latin america. I'm also aware that Benidorm Fest usually is a trending topic in multiple latin american countries, showing that there are people outside...
