I think everything will be fixed. It happens almost every year that an artist is not avalible to do a rehearsal and ask an another country to switch time with them. This can be made for Portugal as well, if the concerts is not available to be rescheduled.

Awesome :) Especially when the stage looks like this!

Wiwiblogs has also just released an article on Salvador's recent performance: http://wiwibloggs.com/2017/04/12/salvador-sobral-flamenco-amar-pelos-dois/186018/

I feel very happy and lucky to be surrounded by people with literal inside information inside this forum that is ahead of the fans news itself!

1) OF COURSE he's going to cancel the concerts if he has to. No-brainer there, no matter what his current line is. In this situation, crisis averted.
2) If he doesn't have to, then no problem. In this situation, non-crisis averted (wait wouldn't that mean...oh nevermind you get what I mean)

Given that the postcards this year are based on the artist's emotional experiences, it raises the question: what kind of emotional experiences is Salvador's postcard is portraying?

It seems that at least a part of the postcard will comprise of scenes going to and coming out from what must be either the library of his university, or his favourite city library, or both (and probably with his trusty psychology textbook) :lol: :lol:

To me, the post card seems to portray a sense of innate adventure, of not knowing exactly where he is going to go, but going along for the ride.
Calm and centred from his past and roots, present in each moment, Salvador is looking forward to what the future brings. Note the vintage feel of the postcard portrayed by the cobblestones, lack of mobile-tech and (even the choice of the tram). The feeling is timeless and serene, like his personality: not following the trends of modernity, increased globalisation and progress, but drawing strength from knowing what works best for oneself, realizing one's purpose in life and making the most of the extraordinary richness that is present in an eccentric old soul. 'It is... it is... it is as it is'- an excerpt from a famous haiku that sums up my interpretation of the postcard very nicely.

Also, #45 in Portugal.

#45 in Portugal and risingxheya
Robin must have influenced the Swedish population to listen to the song out of curiosity, which is the key to fall into the spell of the song

You picked that up only with 4 frames? :mrgreen: Aw, your post is adorable!

That library is actually a cafe-library that is located in a sort of artsy complex here in Lisbon, called "Lx Factory". I go there myself all the time, it's a wonderful retro place.

Aww, thank you, I'm touched! That's what I call 'waffling'- when I try to make sense of as much as I can and go on and on. A café-library huh? That sounds so cool... I want to eat and study there now - I quite like studying and doing readings in a café, as well as write essays there. Actually... the Arts library from the university Zobocamel and I go to is about to install a café there! *Dream will come true soon*

Salvador has received 5 points from OGAE Switzerland and is currently in 10th place (9 out of 45 associations)
The last time :pt: received any points was in 2009 (!)
Never thought he would receive points from the OGAE's so that's good news I guess ;)

Also, good to know he will be in Kiev in 30 May for the rehearsals

We deserve a lot better! But it's great for the OGAE's standarts.

Salvador Sobral will take part in a special show that will air about Eurovision on RTVE in Spain, a few days before the contest starts. He will be interviewed and will perform, as will Manel Navarro.

"They cried or they laughed, or they wanted to have sex, or whatever"xheat Bless him. I've done two of those whilst listening to "Amar pelos dois".

I've never felt so personally involved with an entry before. I feel like I'm going on this emotional journey with Salvador and Luisa. It's going to be a hell of a ride.
