Phenomenal draw. Read my lips and memorize: we're back to the final. Make some noise for Mr. Salvador!! Amar pelos Dois

I find the running order for the Semi final quite in favour of Portugal: It is 9th on the running order, between Azerbaijan and Greece(haha). The only slight concern I have is that Slovenia, which is it's closest sounding relative, is second last to end the show. It is the closest sounding(though of course with a wide mile) with Portugal in my opinion, and it may(or may not) drown out Portugal with its placing and loudness. Though, Slovenia will need more to be on its way to come close to Portugal

I woke up to find the wondrous relief that Portugal hadn't been put in the #2 slot like I feared. This is for sure a boost

His latest interview from yesterday's night with English subtitles
I laughed at how everyone seems worried he'll enter his jazz world and sings the song completely different

Have you guys seen this adorable Interview with English subtitles? He is determined not to be influenced by external factors such as tobacco, facebook, social media, and of people talking about his health- I applaud his mature stances and highly eloquent answers to the Interview's questions on that matter. However, we may not be seeing the air trumpet that he does so well in the lives: Luisa has given him freedom to do whatever he likes, but on the Eurovision platform, to stick to the melody.

My absolutely favorit this year. I love it so much. I can only give 12 points, but it expected much more.

Some news came out on ESC Portugal saying that Salvador will be joined by 4 backing singers, and that he will release a version of the song in Spanish and English. I hope that first part is an April Fools joke!

I really hope that is an April Fools joke! Salvador doesn't need 4 backing singers.. and the song is just as beautiful as is! What was the source of the news?

Salvador is doing just fine Published on 31st March is this little mini performance of him performing.

This should have been stated already: there will be no backing singers, no English version, and no Spanish version. ESC Portugal was just joking around as it was April Fools' Day. They made it clear in the same article a few hours later.
