These girls seems nice....but I still don't understand why the broadcaster just can't decide to have at maximum two hosts. Three or more gets everything so damn all over the place...but oh well, first thing I don't like when it comes to this years choices and you can't like everything. Still go strong RTP and Lisbon! :D

They seem alright, but I agree that 3 (or more) hosts are overkill and it seems like it's been chosen this way for the past decade because the hosts simply didn't have the charisma - nerve AND talent to carry the show by themselves (or as a pair)... having more than two hosts is a way of covering up lack of personality and professionalism that is needed for a solo host (or couple hosting)... and yeah the hosting parts tend to be more distracting and all over the place when they added too many cooks to the game... oh well xshrug

Yes four is a little too much indeed but why not, let's see... they're cute

on the other hand, I don't know what they were trying to do with this vid and all those cuts... that's not a horror movie or a rave party it's a song contest damm. There's a crazy editor lurking in the darkness of EBU (or RTP)

In all seriousness, four presenters, of whatever gender, is a bit too much. Can't we just have two hosts again? Or one?

Sweet hostesses, however, Filomena's make-up spooks me. Could someone please advice her to have a gentler eye-shadow applied?

I love all 4 of them, they are very professional and are very sweet people! From what I've seen of them in Portuguese television, I would say if they reach their potential in May they can easily be better than, like, at least 75% of the hosts of the last 10/15 years.

I have high expectations about the hosting, since Anke in 2011 I haven't liked any other host in this decade... but for sure none of them are disgusting to see like thatb atrocious called Petra Mede, perhaps the worst host ever. xpuke These girls seem to be very professional and not over the top, let's wait and see.

He is Fernando Mendes, the presenter of the Price is Right on RTP. "Espetáculo" (Spetacular) is basically his catchphrase. He is pretty funny :D
Some troll-ish people suggested that he should host Eurovision :lol:

He could never present Eurovision... He said some homophobic stuff in the past so I guess Eurovision would not be for him

Petra is one of the worst ever. I don't see anything special about her and in fact she annoys the hell out of me. She tries too hard and her facial expressions just eww... can't stand her.
I know it's not a popular opinion among eurofans though and everyone have their own favourites. It's not a fact she is the worst either she is the best ever, those are just our point of views.

From these Portuguese women, I only know Filomena and I have even watched some videos of her show, not a fan of such formats but she's at least natural, smart and charismatic. It can't be a bad sign.
