Re: PORTUGAL 2014

Somehow, it's logical.

RTP produces an 1986 show.
People chooses song for Eurovision 1986.

Zana is bad as hell.
Suzy has a über stupid song.
Rui Andrade has a waterfall of cheese.
Raquel Guerra has a song weaker than "Vida minha"...

OK, I thought I would never tell that in my WHOLE lifetime but :

CATARINA PEREIRA FOR THE WIN !!!!!!

She has the only decent number. :twisted:

Re: PORTUGAL 2014

Anyone hearing similarities in the chorus of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and Rui's "Ao teu encontro" or is it just me xshifty

Ha ha ha! Clock them! "Mea Culpa" is the only reasonable choice. "Quero Ser Tua" is OK-ish and the rest is run-of-the-mill.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014

Let's hope next year, we don't have to go through the same NF.

Solid internal selection >>>> Meh NF

They could have internally selected one of those 5 singers and it wouldn't have made a real difference

Re: PORTUGAL 2014

GOSH what a beautiful backing vocal from Rui Andrade, if he wins that will probably be the most beautiful female singer in ESC EVER! :eek:

I only caught this recap in the end with 5 singers who are through to the final, based on that I liked Rui and Suzy the best! :eek:

But we will see...

Re: PORTUGAL 2014

Zana's song is LIGHTYEARS ahead of "Mea Culpa" in terms of quality and sass.

Seriously, Portugal. Be smart for a change and send ZANA!!!!

Re: PORTUGAL 2014

I have to admit. Catarina had a great song in 2010. It was going to be top 10, for sure! But with "Mea Culpa"... I don't know. It's a copycat song! Everyone knows it! Yes, it is a great song, but not enough to get us a Top 5!
That's how I feel. I want her to win so badly but I have a feeling that it won't do well in ESC.

I have just been having a listen to the NF songs over the last few years and forgot about Alex Smith 'Love Shine A Light' haha

Possibly none of the songs would do well in ESC. xshrug

The songs were disappointing as usual.The sound was really really bad. It all sounded like a miserable karaoke club.
The backing vocals were stronger than the main vocals, the music could barely be heard, it all sounded distorted.
And I still can't get over that horrendous camerawork for Catarina. X-OI

I think Zana was the only contestant with any personality on stage :lol: Catarina seemed really stiff and rehearsed in comparison xshrug

Re: PORTUGAL 2014

Catarina may indeed be our best bet, but only by default.
Song is really nothing special and her voice is weak. One might say she could improve until may, but if she hasn't done it since 2010 how is she gonna do it now? Performance didn't come across as energetic and her eye contact was poor - her expression was sort of scary, too much make up, the wind machine or what? Camera work was very unprofessional, somebody should be complaining about it.

Zana was a disapointment, perhaps due to very stupid staging. The song asked for movement and folky colourful costumes. Why the heck did she dress like an artificial cabbage stuck to the ground?

Rui's song was as expected. Completely irrelevant, hardly melodic ballad. Can't honestly believe anyone can take actual pleasure out of listening to it. He didn't scream as much as he used to, I'll give him that though.

Raquel's Sonhos Roubados might have been interesting, in another voice and another time, a few decades ago.

Suzy's ridicilous, of course she is. She's the perfect image of the kind of music she represents. The kind of song that plays on morning tv shows for the old, the infirm and the bedridden. They're a lot of people too, poor souls, and they are so going to vote for this. But her voice isn't even good either.
There's a strong possibility this might come to be Portugal's 2014 entry and I myself don't feel motivated enough to help avoiding it :/

I'm feeling kinda embarrassed to have felt so excited over the last few days. guess we were much better off - not taking part :oops:
