Quirky guy singing a song from a 1960's Disney movie in Portuguese. I love it! But it needs more shoulder pads.

I'm gonna put a £20 bet on this to WIN, I stand to win £220 with the current odds. I know people will say Italy will be a runaway winner but people said the same about Russia last year.

Not a terrible idea, but look for better odds! You could get around £265 instead on the Betfair exchange, for example (and that's including their fees etc) - though look around a bunch of different sites if you're willing to open up accounts. No point betting at shorter odds when longer ones are available. :)

I've already placed my bet, never mind I'm still happy if I win £220. I appreciate the advice though. :)

This is pure art. The feeling that i have with Amar pelos Dois is the same with Midnight Gold last year. Trust me, this isn't me trying to be chauvinist. I just adore everything in this gem. Very honored to be represented with the brothers Sobral!

Luísa Sobral will be the one to take care of the stage performance in Kyiv! :D

She said they will keep it simple, no dancers, but that she has an idea of how to convey the message without taking attention away from Salvador. I'm interested now xthink

I'm both interested and utterly relieved. Luísa has great taste and she's creative enough. I trust her.

On a different note: what is happening with the official video on youtube? Yesterday the number of views was blocked for several hours, today the same. Comments seem to be disappearing. Anyone? :confused:

Thank God, I was worried that RTP would make a chessy performance with some random dancers.
The focus needs to be on Salvador only, he's the main attraction, then the production could make some special effects with the camera to look more vintage maybe

That live performance was stunning. And the trumpet part was a total shock to me. Amazing how he can make it so realistic.

I'm hoping she won't change the performance too much when compared with the NF. It was almost perfect!

I thought that when i read her actual words (she said "i'm working on this idea i had so that everyone can understand the lyrics"). Hope she doesn't go that way. For me it's a no no. TV wise, it does take the focus out of Salvador and the translation will be lost anyway.

But like i said, i trust her.

That's the execution which counts. Luísa may planning to do something creative with the visuals to strengthen the songs message, but still not overshadowing Salvador's performence which is the main focus. She will make this neat before the performence in may, I'm sure Luísa know how much potential this song haa compared with former Portuguese entries.

She will be very careful with changes and make the right decisions.
