I have to say that this song will probably never be my number one, it is just not my cup of tea. But I need to admit that both, Salvador and his sister, seem to be so nice and lovely people. Maybe my opinion about the song will change tonight, I just need to see the performance...

What do the blue lines/pink lines mean? Or they don't mean anything? I'm an ignorant
The blue lines means the odds are shortening (which is good), and pink lines means that the odds are drifting. (What Belgium are going through right now
)Soon... Only 3 hours left... The Semi will begin 9'PM in Sweden. The wait is frustrating, yet I'm really hyped!

No, desafortunadamente, I remember Calm After the Storm in great detail.
EDIT: Would also like to add an honorable mention for 1984; I'd forgotten that those two were in the same year.

In the Semifinal of Portugal I did not like this song (I did not even care), in the final I voted for it (2 times), The more I listen to this music, the more I like it.For me, the best Portuguese entry ever .... I hope you can learn To like this song
Good luck

The hype building around the show in these last few days, especially today is so big! It's probably going to be the most watched Eurovision show in at least 9 or 10 years. If we qualify to the final the saturday show can do incredibly well too, as long as Benfica aren't crowned champions this weekend

Where's Rainywoods? I thought he would be going crazy on here for all the Salvador love.
I would really love to see 
as the winner This is a song that truly nails it. I love the nostalgic retro vibes that come out of it and it relly touches me every time. I will vote for it in the final (obviously expect it there ).
8 points.

Oh wow, this is beautiful!! I've only heard Luisa sing Amar Pelos Dois and preferred Salvador's version, but this song is perfect for her! Her voice complements Salvador's really well.

The year I was born
Same here! I was born after that though, in December, so Portugal's best result in my lifetime so far is just 12th
Hoping that will be changed this week

Astrologically, Portugal could totally win Eurovision 2017.
Sun in Taurus = a ballad / love song always wins
Moon in Sagittarius = the public has an appetite for something sophisticated, meaningful
Jupiter in Libra = the trend in fashion and music goes to something decent, pleasant, classy, exquisit, expensive, timeless,
nothing upsetting nor provocative
Jazz music resembles a lot Sagittarius and Libra preferences.

I'm so excited to see which Salvador will show up tonight. Will it be the almost classical-sounding Salvador from the FdC final? The flair-for-the-improvised Salvador from Spanish TV? The emotionally overwhelmed/overwhelming Salvador from that first concert? The eerily quiet Salvador from last night's jury final? Some other iteration that we haven't been exposed to? The possibilities are endless.

The hype in right now is overwhelming, everyone is really excited!
Every main channel is advertising Eurovision and RTP is doing so in almost every show, the diaspora is also being mobilized. Polish diaspora who?
If we don't go through it will be the biggest facecrack of the century at this point...
