Re: PORTUGAL 2017

I love you Portugal. I have a new favourite Eurovision entry ever. I can't thank you enough.

We have to thank to that regional jury so much! He actually lost in televoting to Diva entry!!

This is the first time since 2008 that I'm actually happy for a portuguese song. I genuinely like this! And I think ESC jury will eat this up.

It has my full 12 pts! Team Salvador all the way!

And thank you regional jury!!

Very hard for me to judge this one... it's not at all my kind of music, but it's spectacular at what it tries to do. I'll need a lot more time with this one, but for now, a tentative 7 points.

He is the cutest little button of a person ever I just want to hug him and tell him how special he is, he has singlehandedly restored my faith in Portugal in the Eurovision and my faith in manbuns at the same time!!!

I'd also like to thank everyone who stayed through the NF; you all were on FIRE tonight with the entertainment factor and the reason I would've had a wonderful time no matter the outcome xlove

Snore - at least the Iberian peninsula are consistent and they've both plumped for snoozefest toilet breaks.

This is like something from a dull black and white movie that my great grandma would watch - and his voice sets me on edge for some reason. So many terrible choices this season xdoh

The lyrics are so wonderful too, tried to google translate it, it is beautiful, about sad love with a person who can't love him/herself. Fits perfect to my life at the moment and probably many more.


Lyrics:
Se um dia alguém perguntar por mim
Diz que vivi p’ra te amar
Antes de ti, só existi
Cansado e sem nada p’ra dar

Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei que não se ama sozinho
Talves devagarinho possas voltar a aprender

Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei que não se ama sozinho
Talves devagarinho possas voltar a aprender

Se o teu coração não quiser ceder
Não sentir paixão, não quiser sofrer
Sem fazer planos do que virá depois
O meu coração pode amar pelos dois

Translation:
If one day someone asks for me
Says I lived to love you
Before you, I only existed
Tired and with nothing to give

My love, listen to my prayers.
I ask you to come back, that you want me again
I know you do not love yourself
Maybe you can learn again slowly.

My love, listen to my prayers.
I ask you to come back, that you want me again
I know you do not love yourself
Maybe you can learn again slowly.

If your heart does not want to give in
Do not feel passion, do not want to suffer
Without making plans of what will come after
My heart can love for both

God! Even if it sunks in Kiev (I don't believe it will) I happy it won. It's a masterpiece!! It just need a great staging and camera work.

Also loved:

1- The jury saved Salvador
2- Pedro's got 3rd in televote, so no crazy audience!!

I do believe that this may stand out, similar in a way The Common Linnets did, or Tom Dice at least. It will appeal with its simplicity to all those who despise the typical dramavision entries. There's no need for a staging here. Just him and his song. A Top 10 is possible.

I don't like the song.


As a matter of fact, I love it. Remember this dear members from Portugal: Whether you win in May or finish last in the Semis, you sent something unique and special, you should be very proud of your choice. Nicely done!
