Portugal PORTUGAL 2023 - Mimicat - Ai Coração

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[DanielLuis]

I know the performance was off-putting to some but Bandua was robbed! Maybe not a contender but at least should've made the final.

Dapunksportif have the worst song in the final but some distance.

I think that honour has to go to Voodoo Marmalade to be honest, so random that they made it through.

Voodoo Marmalade is my favorite of all the bands actually. I'm not surprised they made it through. They harmonize well.

 

[MopManMoss]

I know people are already mad at the amount of bands we have this year but I would love to see Contraste Mudo at eurovision

The running order is kinda strange... it seems so

Good running order spots for both Mimicat and Edmundo. Not so great for Bárbara.

 

[DanielLuis]

I don't think anyone is killed with the running order, it's a 3 hours show where all the 13 songs will be performed back to back in the first hour, with the other 2 hours being filled with pointless interval acts amidst 29485 recaps of the 13 songs anyway.

 

[AliceEsc]

Good spot for Edmundo, is it an indication of a good televote result?

 

[lacrymea]

I think he had a good televote, being one of the favorites from the start. But I don't think the running order in FdC has the same meaning as in ESC. It's more random.

 

[TB98]

I don't think the running order means that much but since 2017, with the exception of Salvador, all our winners had a quite late running order. And even then, Salvador performed #4 in a final with just 8 acts. Claudia being given the opening slot in a final with 13 acts either means girl didn't do as well as we think in SF1 or RTP doesn't want her to win. If they wanted to open with a fun act, they could've easily given it to Esse Povo or Voodoo Marmalade. Kinda disappointed with You Can't Win Charlie Brown slot. I'd say Mimicat and Edmundo have the best running order slots.

[Mainshow]

Oh my! There´s a real chance of Edmundo winning this?! His vocal performance was flawless in his semi!

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

GET READY FOR A FESTA! LA LA LA LA LA! EVERYTHING'S PERFEITO! WO O O O OAH! LET'S GO! LET'S GO! LET'S GO!

 

[BorisBubbles]

I would be very pleased with any of Mimicat, Inês, Cláudia, and Edmundo (out of the realistic options). I'll take a Tinoco, but not with much excitement. I'll take a YCWCB, but with some begrudging acceptance after having been through the five stages of grief. I will NOT take an Ivandro though (but let's hope he dwells in the Aura Zone of merely being a famous person with a song too blergh to ever be a contender)

Still larfing at Neon Soho's magical journey through Festivalland.

Neon Soho: :enter with a EL-style dream pop song that would be a harsh televote NQ and jury Q in Estonia:
Fans: GUARANTEED QUALIFIER, LOCK, SLAY
Neon Soho: :almost die:
Fans: :shockedpikaface:

Still giving them a 9/10 in the FdC review rounds though ^_^

 

[JSSArcos]

I think we have several possible winners (from the most unpredictable years), I don't believe that the order of performance counts so much...

Televoting (Eurovision Portuguese Fans) - Mimicat
Televoting (casual) - Claudia or Edmundo
Barbara and Ivandro will possibly get some fan votes, but it should happen like Aurea, Calema, SYRO etc

I think the winner will depend a lot on the jury, I don't think there will be as much unanimity (as last year). The vote will be balanced

Looking forward to Saturday, it will be interesting to know the detailed results

 

[mercachita]

I cannot live without A Festa in Liverpool. I am fully down into that. I can already imagine Edmundo performing with his extraordinary vocals in May. And that's a picture I can't now unsee because I am so deep on that song.

Uff Saturday will be a very tough day for me when we choose Mimicat or Ivandro.

Yeah... I like a few other songs, but my heart goes to Edmundo as well. We'll need the juries on this, though. The fandom is completely set on sending Mimicat. My hopes rely on them and the casual viewers.
