Portugal PORTUGAL 2022 - Maro - Saudade, Saudade

[escYOUnited]

I’ve tried to write
A million other songs but
Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone

Takes time, alright
And I know it’s no one’s fault but
Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Tem tanto que trago comigo
Foi sempre o meu porto de abrigo
E agora nada faz sentido
Perdi o meu melhor amigo

E se não for demais
Peço por sinais
Resta uma só palavra

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

I’ve tried, alright
But it’s killing me inside
Thought you’d be by my side always

I agree. I would've placed the backing vocalists closer to Maro - maybe to hold hands?
Also, I understand that live performances are still a new thing to Maro, but she needs to relax and enjoy her song, her creation. She's in good company, and she knows the audience loves her.

She's so relaxed in all her videos. Not on stage, I agree. She was super nervous and it showed.

But this song has great room for staging improvement, unlike some of the other favorites where I don't see what else can they do.

My top 3
1- Maro
2- Syro
3- Quatro e Meia

Hahaha, they obviously brought pepperoni pizza!

I think Maro probably will need a staging similar to Slovenia in 2019, Zala sang to Gasper the hole time and maybe Maro will need to sing to the backing vocalists to not be nervous

Firstly, she needs to win it.
She could be an amazing representative.

 

[Zeus]

How long will it take before they start with the results?

I think she'll do well with the jury. Not so sure about the televoting. I know she's a favorite among portuguese eurofans, but I'm clueless how the casual viewer will receive this tonight when there's some big names in the lineup.

2 hours

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I've loved all the FdC intervals this year!

 

[Decayingbooks]

How long will it take before they start with the results?

It will still take a while... at least one more hour

 

[Zeus]

It will still take a while... at least one more hour

Lol, why so long?

 

[goncalovieira]

Honestly, I do not see any hype for Aurea outside the bubble.

 

[Decayingbooks]

Lol, why so long?

They have a lot of interval acts this year

 

[goncalovieira]

RTP and money. Lol

 

[Decayingbooks]

RTP and money. Lol

I'm hoping that RTP having so many interval acts is a sneaky way to have them back next year competing.
Blaya and Bateu Matou will be performing later and I would looove to have them in the contest.

 

[Zerocalcare]

The best for me:

1) Os Quatro e Meia.
2) Syro
3) Maro
4) FF
