My personal only explanation is that they sang better in the jury session (jury votes are not based on yesterdays final, but on the test run they do one day earlier), and the public vote based on the videoclip, because the live singing yesterday I found it pretty horrible

i was impressed. so much i lowered the volume fearing it would break the windows in my home

Spanish singer and music somehow reminds me of brazilian Anitta. Italian song.... i don't get how people liked that, to me it sounded that Italy was making an effort to not have to organize the contest again next year.

I liked cyprus song when hearing it on youtube video, but live... terrible voice, she should stick with making videoclips and not live concerts... got very disappointed

it's so portuguese.... and as an emigrant i feel the meaning even better.... they might not win in Europe but will stay a hit in Portugal for a while

Man how i love this years song and how well represent the truly Portuguese feeling of Saudade

Actually to me something that is always very impressive is that we are a lot of people voting on a lot of songs (almost 40), and still we manage to never leave any competing song without at least a few points. its really awesome and shows the musical diversity of everyone here

Very surprised with the Portuguese music, I really liked it!

wow, i'm surprised Portugal has ice hockey from the first place. I wonder where do they practice, i don't think there is a single ice hockey ring in Portugal... the only hockey people know there is the roller-skating one

yeah actually that silver, the “wild” music, I still hear it a lot, really liked it

forgive euro 2004? NEVER xD But indeed I seem to like some sort of Greek music, I like the language and the music style all together, I’m not sure about statistics but I’m pretty confident Greece frequently receives points from Portugal

one of the easiest 12 ever. I heard the first minute immediately booked the 1st place, no chance possible. I love Galician music (luar na lubre is another one where you’ll get my 12 xD), but generally this type of more traditional music from Spanish regions (It’s not the same but for example I like obrint pas from catalunya area, or paso doble from the south)

I don’t think I’ll be able to be at home in time for posting the votes, I’m on mobile only, hope that’s ok! Good contest so far btw!

Sangria aficionados

I sure hope you’re right about that!

yeah I was definitely not expecting this at all! Glad someone liked it!

but isn't Benzema french, born in France?

Mendes sounds way too much as a Portuguese surname, I wonder if he has some Portuguese background

Japan Yoasobi - 怪物

Iceland Ragnar Ægir - I'm At Home

I pick and then

You know, after more than 5 years living here i got used to this thing of not having almost any national holidays. But the 5 of May not being one of them, i just find it really weird... i mean, it's not even like celebrating independence from centuries ago or some random religious stuff, it's the day you were liberated from nazis, the most evil thing ever! Hope they eventually change it to a yearly national holiday (On the other hand, the May 4th two minutes of silence is actually impressive, really nice tradition)

Found the chinese one

PORTUGAL As someone living abroad, the annual edition is always a challenge for me as each year i feel i'm getting further away from "what's happening in Portugal", specially in music. Still, and although not a huge fan of this song, i chose it because of what it means: the good relations between Portugal and the other Portuguese speaking countries I have no idea if this is also normal for other nations (like spain, england, france), but i find really cool that whenever any other Portuguese speaking nation is playing anywhere, in Portugal the big majority of people supports those nations (when Portugal gets kicked out of the 2022 World Cup, for example, i will with no doubts cheer for our "povo irmão", Brasil), and the other way around is also true (the celebrations in Angola or Cape Verde when Portugal won the Euro were amazing). I really like this friendship spirit, and i think this song is all about that David Carreira - Vamos com tudo

Gallego!!!!! I love Galicia: nice people, beautiful language, delicious food.... :D
