Portugal PORTUGAL 2017 - Salvador Sobral - Amar pelos dois

[lavieenrose]

I have the right to comment the songs from each countries.
My comment for this entry is nothing more but WORST ENTRY OF THIS YEAR.
You don't need to agree with me but I expect to respect my opinion.

It's my favorite song of the year but I agree - no country is entitled to have their thread be a personal fan blog.

Portugal is ahead of Italy on Betfair !

 

[SwedishFailurez]

Oh rly xslap

Portugal numero uno

Fixed!

Strange proportions and Salvador are just in second place, but that's an improvement.

LOL, funny rehearsal from Salvador
He could bark or stay mute and the public would go crazy anyway

 

[LoveHate]

Amar pelos Dois is a great song, and I really really want my country to finally win this competition, but I'm just not seeing the nordic countries or the eastern/balcan bloc voting en masse on Portugal

At least when it comes to Finland and televoting, I would be shocked and sad if Portugal isn't in our top-3. I'm more worried about the juries, and that goes for the other nordic countries as well.

I'm actually more concerned about eastern Europe (because of Bulgaria). South, north and west will be fine I guess

With no Balkans countries and no Russia, I expect Bulgaria to be picking up a lot of votes.

Beautiful Mess has enough Western appeal to pick up a lot of 8s and 10s in countries like the UK and Sweden as well.

It is Bulgaria, not Italy, that is Portugal's main competition in my opinion.

It will be one fierce battle between Portugal and Bulgaria in the jury vote I reckon

After watching Salvador's rehearsal, i can totally see where he's coming from. There are waaaaaaaaaay too many rehearsals. If i was one of the finalists, i think i couldn't bare to hear myself or my song for much longer.

Being a jazz musician, where he does everything by heart and always with a spure of the moment different take on things, this must be torturous.

(Yeah, i know the rule applies to everyone. But i'm looking from his perspective and i completely get it).

Please, Virgin of Fatima, forget about the Pope and focus on what it's really important tomorrow: to make #Lisbon2018 posible

I'm with you. Salvador winning tomorrow is pretty much all that matters in my life for the next day or so. I can't remember being this attached to a Eurovision song before.

When doing a blind listening of all songs when still unknown for me I liked Ireland the most and Portugal the least.I started skipping over Portugal pretty fast in the playlist. Seeing the live performances completely changed that first impression. Sadly I still I don't share the enthusiasm for the Portuguese entry, but I realize he is a funny dude.

Like everything, it's a matter of taste. No harm done

I can tell u right away Italy will get big pts from us, most likely a 12.
Italian music is rather popular here, common on radio etc. Very possible Slovenia has same situation.

Having that said, no idea about 10 and 8. All bets are open.

 

[JonnyWest]

1st IN THE ODDS

Exactly at the same time the Pope landed in Portugal it's another sign

 

[LakZaNokte]

Also, I have to add that portugese music isn't something unknown here. Fado is often here, everyone knows about it and all that. Who knows, maybe I'll be surprised

 

[Jesus]

I've just known that tomorrow IS the century of the apparition of Our Lady of Fátima... O.M.G. that's a sign, and I'm not kidding xDD

Seriously, I really want Portugal to win tomorrow. You have my vote

 

[Carlotta]

OMG, it finally happened. After this hilarious rehearsal. I can't believe it!
Now I'm even more nervous! What is he doing to me? What is he doing to the (ESC-)world?

 

[mickz]

OMG
WHAT THE HELL
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
I CAN'T BREATHE

LISBON 2018 IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!
