Can we talk about how hilarious the two of them were during the recap? :lol:

I know right!?

I still really like the song, but I adore how they just go against all "Eurovision protocol".
Just taking the piss out of all those people fake smiling and blowing kisses to the camera, love it ;)
I'm already waiting for the gifs :lol:

I could actually feel my heart beating in my chest as Salvador was about to start, and nervously my leg was uncontrollably shaking. He only sung about two or three lines, and I started sniffing, before suddenly going into a full on ugly cry, right there, in front of my mother. The first chorus hadn't even started yet. Everything just came to a head in that moment. I needed a good cry and it was impossible to suppress it, which just made it come out worse. I felt like an absolute wreck, but my mother was so sweet in that moment, asking me if it was the song, and saying how beautiful it was, that she totally understood how I felt. She said she felt the same way when listening to her favourite song, Antony and the Johnson's "Bird Gerhl", and when she used to listen to Mozart. It's the power of music, and it's an incredibly rare and special thing when a song and musician can make you feel this way. I think the whole performance was quite a therapeutic moment for me, but the only thing was I was barely able to watch Salvador's performance as I was just so "upset", wiping my eyes, like the sad sack of a being I am. This song is everything to me, and it's helped me out so much since it came into my life. Thank you Portugal. Thank you Salvador and Luisa.
