Portugal PORTUGAL 2022 - Maro - Saudade, Saudade

[escYOUnited]

I’ve tried to write
A million other songs but
Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone

Takes time, alright
And I know it’s no one’s fault but
Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Tem tanto que trago comigo
Foi sempre o meu porto de abrigo
E agora nada faz sentido
Perdi o meu melhor amigo

E se não for demais
Peço por sinais
Resta uma só palavra

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Saudade
Saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

I’ve tried, alright
But it’s killing me inside
Thought you’d be by my side always

Gooosh how I love those visuals!

12. Pongo e Tristany - DEGRA.DE (10/10)

Oh, you also gave 10/10 to this African masterpiece.. Bless your soul!

Just noticed it wasn't talked in the forum, but Chanel will be performing SloMo on the second semifinal, marking what I believe is the first time that an international eurovision contestant performs in Festival da Canção

And who will perform in the first one? Zdob si Zdub?

Or who wins French NF, maybe?

Finally listened to the Festival da Canção 2022 songs and this is my top 3 in random order
Os Quatro e Meia-Amanhã
Syro-Ainda nos temos
TheMisterDriver-Calisun

Top video hopefully tonight before I go to work

Totally different taste to mine in this NF..

Pong is a queen!
Well, I am getting immersed with Aurea's song. It is powerful.

Syro is already on rehearsals for FDC.
Check his Instagram stories. He sounds amazing!

I'm listening to the songs and I enjoy the playlist a lot (but for now I don't have a clear favourite).

My "non-eurovision" friends just listened to the songs next to me and there is a clear winner. It's Maro!
Syro and Quatro e Meia (jesus) were the next main favorites.
Aurea had the highlight along with the girls. But since they are huge fans of her... I am not surprised.
Apart from that, for me, it is still so strange to see this kind of A names around FdC.

I'm just trying to figure out in total wonder how in God's name you managed to shove 20 FdC hopefuls through several non eurovision victims' ears

I'm eurovision-y myself and I gave up after 7 or 8 pieces of these... songies

Well, all of them are slowly becoming fans of FDC.
In fact, this year's edition is quite good and balanced. Waaaaay better than 2020, for example.

When we reached the bottom of the bottoms... This is atrocious.

I only listened to the ones people mention the most, mind, but it all sounded both uninspired and pretentious, a most ridiculous combination. I can't bring myself to go through the rest, too depressing. Plus: As a well known national artist bearing some fan responsibity Aurea should be ashamed to present this. The same goes for Deslandes last year. I think you are too easily excitable

Maro’s song is growing on me more and more. before the start of rehearsal my top 3 for eurovision is:

1. Pongo and Tristany
2. Maro
3. Syro

Let’s see if things change after the live versions

 

[goncalovieira]

Well, I am not 100% sure, but seems that Aurea is revamping her song.
