Portugal PORTUGAL 2017 - Salvador Sobral - Amar pelos dois

[0scar]

Okay I dare to admit now..

I LOVE as a country. The people, the atmosphere, the culture, and I've rooting for it in 2014, 2015. But I really didn't get the hype for Amar pelos dois and was quite disappointed that I couldn't really root for Portugal this year.

BUT after tonight.. I love it. I'm ready for Lisbon 2018. And it would be SO DESERVED.

[DanielLuis]

I'm gonna speak it out loud now....

He is SO going to win this.
This performance was a Jamala-moment

Were you finally converted?

The performance was sth else, he IS the song.
I think Portugal will now win on Saturday, wow.

 

[ParadiseES]

Where?

Just check Twitter.

 

[Stiven]

Look who he defeated:

Loreen eternal domination is put on pause at the moment

Salvador is such a brilliant performer, you could see on tv everyone in the crowd was just watching him in silence and with great respect. Also I bet £20 a couple of months ago for Portugal to win and I'll win £240 if it happens, so GO SALVADOR!!!!!

Were you finally converted?

Gurl, I actually cried during his performance .... like I couldn't fight it. This was soooo damn sincere.

It all comes down to the line-up now. It will help or throw down Salvador's chances...

I'm sitting over here praying for a second half draw!

I prefer not to watch it, since i'm always sort of a pessimist.

 

[JonnyWest]

If we draw 2nd half my head will explode

 

[nikkisback]

I understood all the hype after this evening. He's a very talented goofball, he's weird, probably belongs to another century... Also the song has something magically nostalgic in it. I like Italy more but seeing Portugal winning for the first time, with this song would be so beautiful. We'd have another balladvision the next year but i wouldn't care because seeing Salvador shook\happy is all worth it.

To be honest... I did not feel anything at his performance. Even though congratulations for qualifying to the final - I wouldn't be sad if you won, but right now it's definitely not my favourite. They are still lovely people!

 

[JonnyWest]

No 1st half
The 2 big favorites in the 1st half what are they going to do?

 

[0scar]

Nooo first half

 

[lacrymea]

I knew it...

Well, it was fun guys.

 

[DanielLuis]

I knew it...

Well, it was fun guys.

Oh calm down, we still have a chance!

I think one of Italy and Portugal will be #10 and the other #13, and the two songs in between will probably be fillers.
