Mela just released the videoclip for the song "Água"

I posted it before, but they recently added english captions, so if anyone is curious on how "Grito" was produced, here is the video. Also Luar, the producer, has an ama thread on reddit [here] Edit: I forgot to mention it the previous time I posted this video. Gui Salgueiro, aka, Yanagui...

As with last year, with RTP revealing the % of the televote is is possible to calculate how the results would have been if the televote points where proportional to how people voted rather than just adding the top 10 of the judges to the top 10 of the televote. Song Judges % Televote...
