Re: PORTUGAL 2014

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
Someone rigged the ESC Portugal poll results. So tacky! I see you, Emanuel! The truth is here: two days ago Suzy was #4 in the poll and during the night they shamelessly put her at #1. I mean, what kind of a misstep is that!? This only pisses people off. I'm seething! ESC Portugal claims the votes come from different IPs. I don't think they know how internet actually works. Hello! You can use different IPs in the same computer.
I have some thoughts to share with you guys later. I start by saying that "Quero Ser Tua" is undoubtedly the most-hated song. The Youtube dislikes speak volumes! It's actually the only one being severely criticized.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
I just hope the same thing doesn't happen with the televote.
But if so, the one to blame is RTP for having different criteria for the semi final (one vote per phone) and the final (multiple votes).
This really makes me sad.
If Suzy wins i'll be really embarrassed.

The English version of "Ao teu encontro" is called "Until I find you"

I like, but Portuguese version is better. Precisely, Portuguese language gives magic to the song, IMO.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
A lot has been written since the semi-final that took place last Saturday. Can't bother going through that right now, so sorry if what I write has already been mentioned by others around this thread.
Unsurprisingly I was disappointed with the whole batch of songs. It's like Portugal still not thinks Eurovision as other countries do. The lack of ambition is more than notorious.
Having that said I consider Catarina's song to be the one with least chances of getting us the more than probable typical bad result. But if that happens it won't be thank to Catarina herself, or the lyrics...if we manage to go through the final at least, we should already be grateful to the talented songwriter that goes by the name of Andrej Babic. A seasoned Eurovision contributor, he knows how to deliver the right kind of music. However I wish he'd team up with a better lyricist and that a better performer was picked to represent his song.
From the songs that passed through to the final, I can't understand songs like Zana's and Suzy's going through. For a moment it felt like I was watching those Sunday "specials" with pimba music on the concorrence channel, TVI. I think Emanuel himself would do a better figure if trying to enter the contest than these unknown girls he somehow always seems to cast. IMO Suzy is even worse than Sabrina in 2007, which actually was not that bad in the end and tolerable.
About the other two...Raquel and Rui have decent enough voices and image to represent us out there, but once again, the stuff they performed last weekend is below par. Rui's song in particular was quite the snoozer. Eurovision demands energy. Or if you're going to do a ballad, make it right, including all the drama you can within. And if possible even more drama as an extra on the side. Otherwise, it's naive to think Europe cares for "Rui's dream", the lyrical content of the song is zero.
Maybe English adaptations of the songs can still save things. Songs should already have been presented in English beforehand, in this semi-final. It'll clearly take English to get a good result again for us. And I'm not anti-patriotic at all or against my language. I've just watched this for far too long and am aware of the rules of the game. Just sad that my country seems to keep on refusing to play according to them.
Last but not least...I was bummed that the two least bad songs didn't make it to the final. Those would be Carla's and Lara's. At least image-wise the appeal would have been there. The songs could later be re-worked until it was time to present them. I think Lara not qualifying surprised a lot of people. Really, a shame. But I have to admit that the chorus for her song was quite...cheesy, shall I put it that way. On the other hand she definitely knew how to interact with the cameras and has a memorable stage presence....something that cannot be said about pretty much the rest of the competitors.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
Yes, it's surely the most hated song. Still, the older people will possibly vote enough for it to win. My father loves it and says it's the only song with a chance on the ESC
But hopefully not, if I had to guess I'd actually say Catarina will win.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
I agree with you [MENTION=13185]Edward[/MENTION]
The show was poorly produced, with very bad sounding and bad designing. It was worse than in recent years.
All these entries are very very poor indeed, RTP still think it is ESC 80′s...
There isn't one original or contemporary song amongst them.
The reality is RTP doesn’t take it seriously …
I also think Catarina is our best shot.
Suzy's song is just an embarrassment and represents the worst in portuguese music.
Trashy and sad.

Re: PORTUGAL 2014
After a couple of more listenings; I would go for Zana. But Catarinas song is growing on me, and I agree that Mea Culpa is probably the best choice for a good result in Cph. I will be perfectly good with Portugal sending Catarina to Cph. And I will support her and her beautiful country!
