Portugal PORTUGAL 2021 - The Black Mamba - Love is on My Side

[escYOUnited]

Left home when I was only sweet sixteen
Chasing blind love and a bunch of broken dreams
Don’t know how I thought I’d be a queen
I could do anything
But somehow I end up here I don’t know why
I still believe that

Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Maybe not tonight

I can feel it when it rains
I can feel it still runnin’ in my veins
Ran so fast I couldn’t even grow
Forgot where I belong
Sold my body on a dirty cold floor
Yet I believe that
I believe that

Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
on my side
Maybe not tonight

Love is…
Love is…
Love is…

Love is on my side
Maybe not tonight​

STOP TORTURING ME.

anyway, performance of the evening incoming.

seriously the best portuguese entry of ALL times.

at least better than any Festival da Cancao entry from the last couple of years for sure.

and she looks the same!

 

[BorisBubbles]

if I didn't know better you'd almost think they were tears of disgust.

 

[lavieenrose]

Yes, you did.

Crud!

Behold, one of the greatest film scenes of all time

 

[Edweis]

I quickly skimmed through tonight's selection again after listening to it a month ago :
- Joana Alegre is surprisingly the one that strikes me the most, it's really soothing and her live performance is on point
- I don't understand the NEEV hype either, would be pretty disappointed if Portugal choose one of the rare English songs in their selection. + it just sounds like a classic male Disney ballad.
- I like the instru in Graciela's, but her vocals need to be more mastered for me to be sold. There's some dissonance between the two.
- Ana Tereza might be my other favorite here, it's a little more uplift than Joana but I'm not as transcended
- Da Chick needs a stronger performance to be it, maybe more confidence on stage.
- Ariana, EU.CLIDES & Pedro are pretty entertaining too, I would like to see them in the final too

I'm afraid for EU.CLIDES..I already lost my no1 last week - Nadine..

I went crazy and voted 10 times for him. But I'm probably the only one :-/

Noooo, don't loose the hope, one Portuguese from other site also voted for him, in my name..

[BorisBubbles]

Yay, only three of my faves died tonight (last week, my entire non-Karetus top five was WIPED lmfao)

 

[lacrymea]

Fair results altogether! My boy Eu.clides made it through

 

[MAD20]

Terribly sad for Graciela. She was one of the best ones tonight come on Portugal... Pedro's spot was hers

 

[tuorem]

EU.CLIDES THANK YOU @lacrymea and Portugal!!! Talent qualified! I'll be there for the final!!

 

[mauve]

My two faves in, thank god! My night saved.

 

[Ana Raquel]

Poor Graciela :/ can't say much about the rest.

hope there are some performances changes, otherwise i wouldn't be surprised by a dark horse winning

 

[Alevender]

maybe more confidence on stage

is this not confident enough?

 

[Flamenkax]

EU.CLIDES, Pedro and Joana qualified, i can sleep in peace.

 

[lacrymea]

EU.CLIDES THANK YOU @lacrymea and Portugal!!! Talent qualified! I'll be there for the final!!

My bet is on the juries. I think they pushed him through.
