Re: PORTUGAL 2014
I think so, but possibly not in the coming weeks. I think that unfortunately the entries may be released just in the week before the NF starts, as I think some entries aren't even finalized yet. Some of the song titles are just working titles, for example.

Gotcha! I hope that the songs are at least not half-assed (for the lack of a better term)

I think there's a lot of potential on this line-up!
Can't wait to hear all the songs.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
That is what I am worried about. Hopefully most of the composers already had a great song in the pocket, and weren't that limited due to time constraints.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
I'm looking forward to Catarina's song. The Babic-Coelho duo got me with their 2008 and 2012 songs, so I'm having a good feeling about it.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
I'm not sure you will be that pleased with Pereira, last time Babic composed for her in FdC, and it was totally different to these 2 entries you've mentioned! You can check her entry on YT - "Canta por mi"!
It's really ugly and cheap! and she sings mediocre - average!
I think Portugal deserves smth much better an classier!

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
Of course, but I would add Catarina Pereira to that list, too! :?
As someone said here:
Greece have their Kostas Martakis and Portugal "seu" Rui Andrade.
IMO, I think they are OK to see, but not to sing

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
I don't think so.
Catarina Pereira seems to be a nice lady with good vocals. Portuguese people liked her entry and that's why she won at televoting.
The big problem in NF's is when foreign people says: "OMG WHY THEY DIDN'T CHOOSE THAT SINGER, THAT WAS OUR FAVOURITE!!! THEY'LL FLOP IN THE SEMIFINAL. I'M SO MAD WITH THAT" (Eirodziesma 2013)
It's a country NF so people vote for what they like (even if their taste is horrible like "Luta é Alegria" or "Here we go") but they're in all their right to choose. It's a different story when the country flops and realize that the chosen song were not "accepted" by the stage.
Just to end: For god sake! Forget "Canta por mim"! That was 2010 and you haven't heard her song yet. You can't say that she'll make another cheap song without any snippet. Yes, we know that the composers are Babic/Coelho but you'll never know: Sobrevivo, Canta por mim, Senhora do Mar, Call me, Vida Minha, Cvet z juga, etc. That were very different songs IMO. So you'll never know if they'll follow the path or they'll make a good song.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
@ Fred
I simply do not agree and anybody who has any sense for music and vocals will tell you that her entry was really cheap (composition) and poorly sung! I also found choreography and outfit quite horrible and amateurish!
I respect televoting choice of course, but we shouldn't forget the fact that jury is there to stop bad entries win sometimes!

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
To be clear: I've never said that I supported "Canta por mim". I supported Vanessa's "Alvorada" and I was angry too when she lost. But if portuguese people didn't liked my favourite entry, well... ¡boofff!
I just said that is not fair to blame a singer to be cheap and poor just when the composers invited her to sing their song and she accepted it. It doesn't mean that she will always be the dull artist with cheap songs composed by the old same composers. As I said, you'll never know what they'll bring in this year. Maybe they worked an entire year for the song (2013 in Portugal withdrawal) or perhaps they are busy writing it right now as they can. But you can't have an opinion of a song without hearing it :l
Look the war between Ruth "The savior" Lorenzo and Brequette "The Voice" Shane fans. They thought that Ruth would be chosen because she's a good singer and Brequette were the same old entry sent by G:son. Well, right now I think that they counted the chickens before they hatch.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
Catarina Pereira will sing a dance song with ethnic inspiration (Portuguese guitar).
Augusto Gonçalves friend of Catarina will be the choreographer of the theme as well as one of the 6 elements on stage.
