Portugal PORTUGAL 2020 - Elisa - Medo de Sentir

I'd prefer if none of the top 3 favourites won. Kady and Dubio ft. +351 are miles ahead imo.

Now when three rap songs lost in San Remo, Jimmy P has to win this!!

@DaFlo

Do you like Jimmy P's entry?

 

[Mrm]

Is it only me, or music from 00:40 to 01:00 in Blasted - "Rebellion" reminds a lot of Greek music.. ???

Hum... I only get portuguese guitar, because of the... well, the portuguese guitar

I always assume it's Fado, but it's nearly impossible to distinguish that from other Mediterranean folk if you're not really accustomed to it. I'm not so it might as well be Greek.

Yes I like it, but I prefer Throes + The Shine

"Cegueira" is a such a mood It's very movie-like. I hope it will do well.

Praying for "Agora" too, even though it looks like an uphill battle for JjaZz in semi 1.

Sadly Jjazz are toast. I think with Blasted, Elisa, Barbara, Filipe, Throes + The Shine. At best 6th place for themi I think. Just like Vidbir, the first semifinal of FdC is much stronger in my opinion.

This year I'm rooting for Rebellion! I hope the live performance will do it justice.

Anything else than ''Medo de sentir'', "Passe-Partout" or "Rebellion" will be a dissapointment to me. And between them i love ''Medo de sentir'' the most.

Jimmy P stated in an interview that the staging will be him and a gospel choir, so hopefully it will be staged well, but I really doubt that he, or any other contestant from semifinal 2 for that matter, will win.
Probably the winner of semifinal 1 will be the one winning the ticket to Rotterdam.

Weird line up in semi 1. The 3 favorites packed together

 

[Ana Raquel]

who thought putting the favorites one after another was a good idea

 

[Ana Raquel]

and screaming not them putting cegueira the ultimate fave of semi 2 to perform first

this was definitely NOT a good idea

I still think they will qualify comfortably being in the weaker semi.

it's not an issue of qualifying or not actually. it just... doesn't make sense audience-wise. I mean if the isolated semi 2 fave is performing first why would I watch the rest knowing it's weak?

not the same thing but there was a show here with an artist who had two well known songs. he decided to play them first and right after the second one people started leaving lmao

 

[opinionsigotem]

Honestly this looks like a genuinely random draw (Vidbir's was and the lineup of the first semi also had the favourites clustered in the middle) so I wouldn't draw too many conclusions about the producers' intentions

from what i read on the portuguese facebook group, it was rtp who decided it

well

 

[Uto]

I'm reading something different from those line-ups, namely that they basically did the same thing twice. They put the better songs at 1,4 and 5 and something alternative at 2. Both finish with something relatively strong.
