Wow 12 points :eek: I knew there were many italian fans but not that much! But to be honest I think our song is the only this year that could fit the Sanremo lineup

:it: :es: and :uk: voting in our semi-final ;)

YES! Everyone of these countries(except Italy thus far) have had Salvador on their Spotify Viral Playlists. Unless I have forgotten to check, it seems that only Italy has given Portugal 12 points. It seems that the feeling between Italy and Portugal are very mutual and encouraging this year! Did anyone happen to catch what were Francesco's favourite entries were this year( and if it included Portugal?)

He did not say who are his faves until now (typical Italian with the only exception of Francesca Michielin xD).

I am actually unsure that Italian televoters will give many points to Portugal, just because the diaspora votes are highly relevant in our points, but probably the jury will give 8-12.

Assuming the voting procedure for the juries is still the same, I actually think this will do better in the televote than with the juries. Not that I understand why, but this song appears to be a real love it or hate it song (only love from me though). When juries rank all entries from top to bottom it really does not favor that type of songs. Very hard to get high points if even one jury member doesn't get the song and places it in the bottom half.

True. People often say it doesn't matter if half the people hate it, cause the public can't vote against a song.
Well, while that is in fact true for the televoters, juries can actually vote against a song and kill its chances, And they often do as shown in the past.

Let's take wiwi's review and ranking, for instance. It only took 2 or 3 very low scores (1, 1.5, etc.) and the song ended up middle of the table.

My act of boycotting an ESC-entry makes both the Soviet boycott of the US Olympics and the US boycott of the Soviet Olympics look pale in comparison :cool:

Btw. When was the last time, we had a waltz as the basic rhythm of an eurovision entry? Or did we have one at all so far?
