Portugal PORTUGAL 2024 - iolanda - Grito

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Laepo1]

I was bored and decided to watch the 1st semi again, this is my current ranking:

Iolanda – Grito
Mila Dores – Afia a língua
João Borsch - …pelas costuras
Bispo – Casa Portuguesa
Rita Rocha – Pontos Finais
LEFT. – Volto a Ti
Nena– Teorias da Conspiração
MELA – Água
Perpétua – Bem Longe Daqui
NOBLE - Memory

I don't think that in Portugal regional voting is actually a thing, but I do wonder if Borsch being from Madeira will help him in any way, it didn't help Mela, who is also from Madeira, but I do wonder. Also let's not forget that the judges in the final sometimes can be very random, I can totally see a scenario where Huca wins the jury vote due his song being an homage to Sara Tavares.

You must be from Lisbon Of course regional voting is a thing

I'm not sure if I will be watching the semifinal tonight, I just don't care about the songs, but we should keep and eye on some of them:

- Filipa, very unlikely to win, the numbers on youtube and spotify place her lower than other artists in the semifinal, but for some reason she is #2 in the odds;
- No Maka feat Ana Rita, it won't win but the song has a lot of listens on spotify and could be the favorite of the teens, one problem is that Ana Rita's voice sounds a bit autotuned. If they fail to be the first 5 to qualify to the final, they could be the sixth decided solely by the televote;
- Leo Middea, Huca, Maria João, any of them could win the jury vote in the final but will flop in the televote, with the possible exception of Leo Middea that could reach, at most, top3;

Filipa could be NQ tonight.

Or at least need the last vote to pass

Oh i'm sure Filipa is NQ. Pay no heed to the odds - she's up there because she's femmetrash and singing in English.

It really will just be Iolanda or Joao B and the rest get to enjoy themselves :-)

I don't know if I'll be able to watch today but I will try to keep an eye on when voting starts so I can give a few diaspora votes to Leo

Get ready for Huca.
Seems that he has the best staging from this years edition.

I like him and the song. But I'm not a fan of sending this very specific homage to represent us. It is too niche, even for us portuguese.

I appreciate what he did. Let's all love it and celebrate Sara... indoors xD

Yeah, its not a song to COMPETE at FdC. Maybe as a tribute..

I'm getting a bit worried about Silk preacher's song lol

Everyone is raving his rehearsal today. I can see the televote pulling a Nova Gloria...

Iolanda has the locker. It is almost impossible to see her losing the trophy.

 

[rasmuslights]

btw, who has the tie-breaker? Jury or the tele?

I said the same about Catarina Pereira. twice.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Simone de Oliveira, QUEEN!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

O Farol was lovely, simple staging, but maybe more of a jury favorite than televote?

 

[Decayingbooks]

This semifinal has a lot of jury favorites, I hope the next stagings won't be static as the first two songs or it will be a snorefest...

 

[Laepo1]

I started yawning already

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I love Primavera, it's very understated, so it makes sense the staging would be the same.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I love Doce Misterio as well (a lot more of my faves are in this semi final lol) but his is the first staging that I feel is disappointing :/
