Actually it's today and I think it's starting now...

You're right. I was confused with the dates

 

[Iuris]

Where is Rui?


Teresa Radamanto - Um Fado em Viena

 

[GWTW1939]

Where is Rui?

You haven't heard the news

He was so brilliant last year in his cameo as the rising sun that the Russians have forced him under permanent contract as one of their backing singers

Your free Portugal...Your Free

 

[kengaIME]

Sara Tavares is a really nice surprise. I hope her song is good.
I'm excited about Diana, Teresa, Filipa, Leonor and Rita.
Hope we can find a good song among them!

On the other hand we got rid of Rui Andrade this year!

I'm wondering if we can hear something like Bollywood with Rubi Machado?

That would be great!

Yes

So much for trusting people´s sanity and common sense.

She's not the only oldie in the mix though. There are several popping about. Sadly, it's not as if any of them was ever golden.

But surely they were big at some point otherwise why would they be here :?

I'm not saying they have to be Portuguese superstars but they are well known names in Portugal, right :?

 

[kengaIME]

It's the 50-year anniversary of "Sol de Inverno"

I can already see Simone being carried over by the composers' jury after flopping in the televoting.

 

[Hele.]

No Catarina Perreira and/or Andrej Babic/Carlos Coehlo. Next year plaese.

[Catia]

Diana Piedade ALL THE WAY

 

[GWTW1939]

It's so strange to see such a female dominated lineup cause normally its the opposite

I think Portugal is the only country where that happens

Girl power! XD I'm sooooo scared of Simone de Oliveira and Adelaide Ferreira... They were amazing back in the old days but now... Simone has lost her voice and Adelaide I haven't heard she singing recently... And a song title Dança Joana?!?

I'm so exited about Sara Tavares song!!! And Teresa Radamanto is back!!

Too bad RTP won't release any snipets until the rehearsals (dam secrecy...)

Let's wait and pray for good songs!

Sure. They are well know and to be fair their work isn't confined to eurovision. The three women, that is.
Augusto Madureira is the composer of Há Dias Assim, but he's better known as a journalist. We usually see him on news bulletins
I thought and hoped his adventure in the artistic millieu had been a single event. As usual of late, I was wrong.

 

[EurovisionSmile]

Simone and Adelaide... #sigh :shock: :? :|

And some of the song titles like "Dança Joana" do not sound promising at all.

 

[DanielLuis]

Some of these names are interesting, but unfortunately I don't have any confidence in RTP's chosen composers and most likely all songs will be as old-fashioned as ever. Also Simone and Adelaide, seriously? I hope they won't be able to have a good result just by name alone...
The act that I'm the most interested about is Rita Seidi with Sara Tavares as a composer, but the title of the song doesn't give me a good vibe...

Me too. And with Kalaf Epalanga. He's one of the singers from Buraka Som Sistema!
