cant say anything about this song yet, but I can tell which was the 2019 song I was addicted to and that it would probably receive maximum points from me: Hoe het danst, from Marco Borsato and Armin van Buuren

Coronavirus reached amsterdam, second case in NL. Also my gf works in Picnic (online supermarket chain) and since yesterday they are having an unusual huge spike on demands for orders, specially on sanitary products...

I live above the rivers (or at least some of the rivers haha) and here also no one celebrates carnaval. But i find it funny that they celebrate in the netherlands in a very similar way as portuguese celebrate, with parades of "cars" made by people and made with funny/mocking stuff, and with crappy carnaval music (we use the crappy music in the summer festivals though, carnaval we use brazilian music haha) This is how it looks in the most traditional carnaval town in Portugal, for example

Portugal still has no cases. And for you to understand how stupid media are about it, here’s a “BREAKING NEWS” alert with a non-news saying that “there are still no corona cases in Portugal”

Weird carnaval?? It’s super cool!! I went this year to the ones in Den Bosch and Breda, good thing I skipped Tilburg

I dont know about positive tests/total tests ratio, but there is this nice dashboard with info regarding the infected places, deaths but also total of recovers from the virus https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

Portuguese media are getting desperate and extremely frustrated, as lots of nations have already a Coronavirus case in their countries, even in Spain or Brazil, and nothing appears to happen in Portugal. Every day they came up with more possible cases that ended up as negative, which makes our media very sad Maybe Pastel de Nata (portuguese typical pastry that we ate regularly) works as natural repellent of the virus?

So, one more time, here is the entry of Portugal for this year's contest. Since I live abroad it was a good excuse for me to listen to a lot of portuguese music from the past year, most of each I did not like it. I did ended up finding this song, and this singer, which I now like quite a lot, so already a win to me on this TISC 2020 Bárbara Tinoco - Antes dela dizer que sim

Portugal is in of course! Although I will miss the final, will be somewhere in Mexico on that date

Just saw that Portugal entry singer for this year's TISC also is participating in Eurovision 2020 selection, although i dont think it will win. I would bet on this song instead, since they are pretty famous in Portugal

Well my biggest surprise was when while we were listening to the top on the radio in my work, suddenly on one of the last days a song comes up in the top: "Gotta catch them all, Pokemon!"

Although i'm a huge fan of country music so that definitely would be in my top as well haha

No no, didn't even knew about that one until top 2000

I was actually expecting to see which song would you put in this contest. There is one from last year which is still stuck in my mind everytime it plays here in the radio but can't tell which is because i don't know if we're still having a contest or not haha

so the guy just did a rage quit because israel wanted to join? now i wonder what would happened if israel would won.... hope the contest still go on btw. dont even mind of waiting more time and have the annual contest, maybe with more nations involved. Personally I prefer having no gifs but having a truly multicultural contest with all nations that want to compete where we all just enjoy music and watch the suspense of the voting day

As someone who's a bit far from all this war, i'm actually enjoying the polemics, it's like having one of those shows after football matches where some experts comment on the matches of that week Still wouldn't mind if those who do not participate would share songs, at least on the festival of music. My personal gain from this contests are actually the new unknown songs/artists i get to know from all around the world every year

I think his participation was approved a few posts ago by @OlympicIRL Plus it's nice to have new nations on the contest

Ok so after spending the whole day looking for the top charts on every portuguese radio to get to know the songs that were popular there last year, and after listening to a lot of crap, i found this one that I actually like, from a singer I had never heard about, so here it is: Bárbara Tinoco - Antes dela dizer que sim

!!!!! This new job made me completely forget to check here, glad that i'm still on time! Will spend some time on the weekend reading what happened on this thread (and watching the videos, i see already there's some cool stuff to watch made by the organizers haha), and trying to figure out a nice portuguese song released last year. So, Portugal will be probably in as well!

Can't wait for the Open edition and for the opening ceremony to get to know all the nice places i have yet not visited here in the netherlands

Yeah basically the story is of a girl who's trying to convince some loved one to get out of house and go out with her, and to play the "wars" with their bodies instead of with the weapons. But she doesn't call him hobo or insults him haha, the worst i see is "as many lifes you have, if you dont come out with me, is your very own life which will have something to loose"

You mean this one? It's the closest I can see from all portuguese entries that can say something (very farly) remotely closed to what you mention

Have literally no idea which song said that. Was it from another portuguese user?

As for the Portuguese jury I can tell it quite clearly: I give zero f*cks about the nation or the language or the users. In fact, it might work the other way around, as if I understand what they say I might dislike the song for being so dumb (it happened ). I don’t even watch the videos to not be influenced by its quality. I basically just go one by one from the TISC first page, listen to then, and give it points (doing second or third rounds for specific songs with similar points for the final decision) Anyway, bottom line is: keep sending the best of Indonesia. Even if not everyone likes it, someone will, and you’ll know you’ve helped on sharing a bit of your country with someone else

Totally blown away with the song ending in top 10! As I said before, this song is very special as almost a symbol of portuguese people and our history, and I knew from the start it's a very peculiar (and not catchy at all) song, so it is very cool that some of you really liked it! Thanks to all the countries that give us the gold and silver medals!!
