Hello everybody:
Why are songs taking part in the Portuguese Festival RTP da Canção considered by some people as weak and amateurish?
According to several Portuguese sites on the subject, they try to dignify Portugal and show their flag, their culture, their language and their way of being on stage in 3 minutes because they identify more with in crescendo ballads and songs based on traditional Portuguese music instead of europop or Swedish schlager because it is their taste and sensitivity and this style enriches ESC as a cultural and artistic event which they regard as something very serious and professional, as well as a showcase where different musical cultures and traditions are shared and exchanged.
Furthermore, they believe that a good song needs good lyrics that tell a story and convey a message, a good melody that represents Portuguese roots and a good singer. According to them, a good example of this kind of songs they like would be: "Alvorada" by Vanessa, which was 3rd in the 2010 National Final.
All the best and sorry for my "brick", I'm diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and that's the way I express my feelings and emotions.
