Here is a message Suzy posted on her facebook page (she wrote in portuguese, I translated, so sorry for any mistakes...):
" Dear family , friends and fans!
Again thank you for the support, love and strength you gave me in this short journey , because we were one of the last countries to announce the winner of the Festival da Canção. I tried to do everything I had at my fingertips and with few possibilities , resources and timings we had, promote the theme of PORTUGAL and thus dignify our country .
Although the audience , backstage and other colleagues , and Europe have vibrated with the QUERO SER TUA , and have felt a great affection since I started promoting a few days before going to Amsterdam , do not forget that Portugal unfortunately can not compete with the countries of the former USSR ! We are few, we have few neighbors ... I knew what to expect in this DIFFICULT SEMI -FINAL ! But by the end we tried to think positive and do the best job possible .
I thank all the Portuguese delegation for monitoring and fantastic tract that had me , my team stage I love from the heart for your commitment and professionalism to the team by AM Productions try to take me abroad and believe me , the excellent and exemplary stylist João Rolo , for producing fantastic dresses that were worshiped in Europe and discussed , which originated as a Barbie Suzy and I must thank an amazing human being , dedicated, patient and very professional: Vasco da Camera Pereira , love you from the heart !
I feel I accomplished the goal : I gave my best and that dignified my country , leaving Europe in the mood to hear more of Suzy , and as you can imagine I won't stop here .
It was a unique and unforgettable experience to be part of the biggest event in music in Europe and part of the family of Eurovision , knowing that the public were exited in the semi - final ( who was there can prove it ... ) was a dream come true !
Now let's working , be positive , with much strength to move forward and the feeling of accomplishment .
On the 11th ( Sunday) we arrive to Lisbon at around 5.30 p.m .
I count on you ... kisses "
