So sad this. And despite her disease she kept being the happy friendly person as always for the past years.
 
This was one of my favorites from her, such a good mix of Portuguese and Cabo Verde, just like as she was. 

I might have found another Portuguese artist to add to my playlist @kungshamra71
 
 

Finally have the time to react to this contest.
 
Thanks again to all those who gave points to Portugal, i'm always happy to share a bit of my land's music to you and the fact that some of you liked a song from my hometown is even better! 
 
Also I wonder if the 15th place is some top record for Portugal? 
 
In any case, congrats to Italy for the win, although it was not one of my favorite songs at all (it was 22 on my top list) but i have a peculiar musical taste 
 
Some comments about the points i gave:
 
 
 - 12  Loved the melody and i like chinese language in songs so this as a topper to me
 - 11  I found out about Jain thanks to TISC many years ago, and i became a fan thanks to that. I stopped following her songs some time ago so when i heard her voice and learned she had this new stuff, i knew this was gonna be one of my top 3.
 - 10 Such a powerful sound!
 - 9 The type of spanish music i like. It gave me so much vibes from early 2000s spanish music, which brings many happy memories from my teenage years there.
 - 8 This traditional songs are always gonna get points from me, 100% 
 - 7 I could see this one in Eurovision
 - 6 As more as I hear this one, the better it gets. One of my favorites right now actually
  - 5 ,  - 4, Nothing to say about this ones, just sounded nice
 - 3 , Don't find it particularly special but the message of the lyrics is really great so had to have points
  - 2 Nothing to say again, just sounded nice
 - 1 I love this song, the artist, and the amazing message it gaves (just like the movie), but I usually try to never give any points to famous singers/songs, unless they are so good that it is impossible for me to do so, which is why I had reserved my "1 point" to this one.
 
 
 
I really liked this edition though! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks to everyone who shared with all of us a bit of your country's music!
 

Figo was big, but Ronaldo is on Eusebio/Pelé/Maradona level (in Portugal, i mean). Is the best for the old and new generations, so it's something different.
 
I dont think he wants to leave in 2024, i think in his mind he can play forever. But I think he will leave this year, because next world cup is in USA, and.... he has some trouble relationship with USA.... so i think he will avoid putting is foot there again 

yeah precisely this.

People in Portugal screamed out loud to let Ronaldo in the bench after the group phase and surprise surprise, Switzerland just got destroyed by what is supposed to be our national team.
 
And you saw it against Sweden as well. When he's not there they just play as a team and not just to him, so it's easier to get good results.

Yeah but it's a very complicated situation... Right now i believe the huge majority of people in portugal want him to retire already, but he doesn't.

And it's not "easy" to push him away because of two reasons:
- he's the all time hero of the country, so it would be like Brasil kicking out Pelé
- he brings a lot of money to the national federation, and i'm pretty sure the coach has pressure from above because they don't want to push out the "cash cow" of the team
 
Plus he's a diva so he won't go away on his own

I am not able to follow the contest as I’m doing some work in the house but just came to check and, oh god, so happy that many of you liked Soraia Ramos song!!
 
This one is special to me as she’s from my hometown and was my school colleague, and the connection Portugal/Cape Verde is very strong there, which brings me to my childhood and teenage years time.
 
For those who liked the song, look for more of her songs, she deserves all the success she’s getting! 

Here we go
 
 
UNITED STATES
 Portugal 10    New Zealand 9  France 8  Romania 7  Hungary 6  China 5  Slovakia 4  Guatemala 3  Denmark 2  Germany 1

In about 15 minutes I'm going to head out to the first ever Lithuanian TISC representatives - Saulės Kliošas new EP album concert.  
 
Their new music is really dope  

Ok, seems I positively cursed the US now?

My favorites this year are without doubt Italy , Ukraine , Croatia  and the dutch .
 
But this is the most truly armenian song i've ever remember seeing in Eurovision, it brings me so many good memories of what i think is the best land of the Caucasus , i hope they get in top 10 this year! 
 
 

Undeniably Greek, but it does remind me a lot of similar ethno-pop entries “Unicorn,” “Fuego,” “Cleopatra.” If the performance is good, it will probably end up in my top 10, or at least threatening it. 

THE LOGO
 

 
The Radio is symbol of TAISC 2024

 
This year marks the centenary of the beginning of radio broadcasts in Italy (October 6th, 1924)


In Italy, which on a technological level was the homeland of radio, use of radio transmissions was permitted only for military purposes,

and a 1910 law prohibited its use by civilians.
Only in 1924, a  late compared to the rest of the world, began the commercial broadcasts.


For the logo the radio chosen is Radio Cubo ts522, this model is designed in 1962 by architects Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper and marketed since 1964 by Brionvega, an Italian company (active from 1945 to 1994) specialized in the consumer electronics sectors.

Examples of this radio are permanently exhibited at the MOMA in New York and at the modern art museums of La Jolla, Osaka and Sao Paulo.
 


Key dates of italian radio history

In August 1924 the Italian Radio Union (URI) was born, it held the government concession to broadcast and there was only one radio station.
January 1928 - URI becomes EIAR (Italian Auditing Body). Italian radio becomes a means of mass communication
December 13th, 1931 the first radio commentary of the football match was broadcast (Italy vs Hungary)
After the end of the war in 1944, Rai (Radio Audizioni Italiane) was born and the radio entered the homes of the majority of Italians.
In 1950 the reform of the radio system established the creation of three networks
In 1951 the first edition of the Sanremo Festival was broadcast live
In 1976 did the RAI monopoly lapse thanks to a ruling by the Constitutional Court and the broadcasters already active in Italy (around 400), so-called "pirate radio" will then become "free radio"
In the 1980s, private national radio stations began to emerge, many of which are still active today
