Re: PORTUGAL 2017
Even if he wasn't one of the judges, Portugal would never send a Scandipop type of song. I bet that we won't have anything similar to that in our National Selection -- which is great! Diversity makes ESC much better, imo. You just have to use "diversity" in your favor.
In a nutshell, I bet he regrets that Eurovision has become an entertainment show instead of remaining a music festival a la San Remo. Personally, I wouldn't blame him for thatEven if the staging is important these days, the song should remain key. And I'd say: all the better if he doesn't like the spread of Scandipop going on, at least Portugal won't send what everyone else sends at the moment.
With such a state of mind, I think it bodes well for the Portuguese NF: most songs will probably be ranked according to their actual musical merit, and not how busy the stage is. They'll just have to be careful once in Kyiv not to be too lazy visually when working on the final staging.

Re: PORTUGAL 2017
I LOVE the logo! Regarding the jury... it's a mix feeling. If they wanted to revamp the whole thing they should had a revamped, cooler, and newer members. And with newer I don't mean young people I mean people that have a fresh view on music. Inês Lopes Gonçalves and Nuno Markl are actually a surprise and I like to see them there. I just wish we could have had Aurea, Anselmo Ralph and some other personalities from music and the radio scene. Ramón Galarza and Tozé Brito are total "rubbish" and I can bet that they are going to give the maximum points to Nuno Feist even if it's a shitt* song.
Oh well... Let's just hope we have good songs. I do think RTP is trying to do something for the first time, and like I said, nothing is perfect for the first time!
GO PORTUGAL!!

An official annoucement is yet to be made, but I love how we are low-key confirmed for Eurovision 2018. At one point during the press conference, RTP's subdirector stated that "there is more next year". Just like that. Beautiful.

Re: PORTUGAL 2017
Well from the words of RTP's direction in the past few weeks their new plans for FdC and for the ESC are here to stay for the next few years! But let's just see if things go well this year, because if things crash and burn in the FdC or in the ESC they could change their opinion.

RTP has confirmed they won't release any snippets before the shows.

Re: PORTUGAL 2017
It may be annoying, and yeah we will go insane in the next few days wondering about the songs. However, that is the way to go this time around. The deadline to deliver the final versions was January 31. So, this is all very recent. For once, I am happy folks at RTP are taking their time, doing it properly, not rushing things.
Pedro Gonçalves mentioned Robyn when talking about "Don't Walk Away". He also stated that his performance has a visual aspect. I really like the way he talks about his song. David Gomes said "My Paradise" is fun, and I like how ambitious he sounds, saying we should try English if we think about winning. I approve this message.
I adore the design/visual identity of Festival da Canção 2017 – among the very best this year. It is glamorous.The Greek-esque letters are great, and so is the colour scheme.

Re: PORTUGAL 2017
I think releasing snippets is essential to generate buzz and properly promote the contest. That is, unless the songs suck, in which case it's better to not let the people know until the show
Pedro Gonçalves is also one of the entries that excite me the most from the interviews, alongside Deolinda Kinzimba!

Re: PORTUGAL 2017
[MENTION=6762]DanielLuis[/MENTION] I get what you are saying – buzz can be important. However, getting people by surprise is better. And this could be a way to do that. Also, did you see the fake drama around Norway's snippets in the comment sections of Eurovision-related websites? We do not need that. To be quite frank, I would prefer them to release the whole songs at least one day before each semi-final, but it is what it is.
The rehearsals will be done behind closed doors to prevent any leaks, any low-quality YouTube videos. It seems they are focusing on the element of surprise.
I am ridiculously excited for a few songs such as "Without You", "Nova Glória", "My Paradise" and "Don't Walk Away". I just want the best one to win, and this year the decision is seemingly tougher judging by the talent involved. That would be a good sign.

Re: PORTUGAL 2017
Viva la Diva have shared the lyrics of "Nova Glória", and also a few seconds of the song (it seems like it is the intro).

Kisses to my favorite Eurovision Nation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really want them to win in the near future.
P.S
My burst of EMOTIONS for Portugal comes from randomly listening to Flor-de-lis and their E-P-I-C "Todas As Ruas Do Amor" on the radio this morning while having my morning coffee.
GAVE ME THE BIGGEST SMILE of 2017 (so far).
