[Jøsh]

Portugal

Opinions?

[Jay28jay2]

A little bit disappointed because I warmed up to Bulgaria winnng but obviously it didn't happen.

[LukeB]

Worst winner! the song is ever so dull.

[Morgan.]

The winner actually gets worse every year.

[Morgan.]

Poor Lucie deserved left hand side.

[UserSince2005]

Didnt even sound Portuguese, I only like Portuguese songs with Brazilian accents

[Jessica.]

My country is better than all of the other countries. :flutter:

[Withano]

I liked it.

Considering the top two thrashed the rest, the better song won.

[reece(:]

A dull flop, won off a sob story

[T*]

Super happy, the contest ended on a warm fuzzy note :love:

[Headie]

Wow I can't believe Suzy finally got her deserved victory 3 years later

[Denver]

He is a nasty **** of a person thinking he is the best there was best there is best there ever was

He has no right trashing substance-less bops when his song is a diabolical snooze.

[Shaun]

I didn't know we all spoke Portuguese!

[Denver]

Listen to his press conference

[Amy Jade]

I didn't know we all spoke Portuguese!

Do you speak portuguese?

[Shaun]

Am I writing off a song as without substance?

[T*]

I do think his speech was a bit egotistical but I think Portugal deserves it hell yeah

That's not the point. A song can click with you without understanding what the artist is saying, France for instance I barely undestood but thoroughly enjoyed.

If I googled it's english translation I wouldn't enjoy it any less or anymore.

[Braden]

I'm happy. Like I said earlier, his song is what Eurovision is all about—It's unique and gets people talking. I mostly enjoyed it because it was beautifully composed and sung. I relish in all types music Eurovision has to offer, hence why I also liked 1944 and wanted that to win last year. Also, it's great that a country that has competed for over fifty years has eventually won for the first time :love:

Salvador did annoy me a little with his off-stage quirks though, ngl.

I agree. Jamala might be my favourite winner ever, and this guy was in my top 5 of the night. (I was actually disappointed when I looked up the lyrics though, it was just another heartbreak song).

[Greg!]

Awful song, I was temporarily happy for him until he was like "this is a victory for real music with meaning! Not disposable music" Horrible rude twat

[Ross.]

France won btw

[Nicky91]

no, for me Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, UK, Italy had better performances

[hijaxers]

A dull flop, won off a sob story

I agree ,couldn't believe he won ! Dreadfully boring ::conf:

[Nicky91]

I agree ,couldn't believe he won ! Dreadfully boring ::conf:

yeah well he won sympathy votes with his heart transplant story i guess

[UserSince2005]

if he wasnt on deaths door he wouldnt have won.

and yes a agree with everyone who said that his speak was ridiculously rude and egotistical.

[Jessica.]

He sings a traditional genre of Portuguese music called Fado, all songs in that genre are about heartbreak and melancholy, literally all of them, so it's not "just another love song". He wasn't saying in the speech that his music was real music, he was talking about traditional genres. He clarified on Portuguese TV literally five minutes after the contest ended.

oh god, portuguese are so annoying.

this is like when they try and tell you the word "saudades" means nothing in english, and we could never understand the true deepness of it. get over yourselves.

[y.winter]

Wonderful. Glad he has won and the final performance with his sister was legendary.
I'm also happy to see Norway in the top ten against all odds. :clap2:

[Nicky91]

but how can Portugal go from zero popularity, to this popular, i find it kinda weird and it smells like a bribe to me :suspect:

[Amy Jade]

Him singing with his sister wasn't legendary it was messy af he didn't even care he had won the arrogant tosser

[Denver]

It was a stunt now i hope the arrogant tossers career flops

[Nicky91]

no but Salvador also said in his speech all other songs were ****, omg have some respect for your competition idiot :mad:

[y.winter]

It was a sign of respect and appreciation to his sister which had a huge part in his participation, there was nothing cynical about it - for him, it was his victory as much as it was his sister's. And his speech about "fireworks is not music" was brilliant, and the fact that his song won over many of the usual Eurovision mumbo-jambo cliches, says it all. He didn't say that song X or Y was rubbish, he said that he believes in a meaningful music, and he's absolutely entitled to think so. I don't understand people being so defensive about it, when people use to slam its surreal performances without batting an eye. There's a serious garbage in the Eurovision, and someone had the courage to call a spade a spade. People knew what they were voting for, they knew what it means and they knew the underlying message of a song and a performance like this winning ESC - and they supported it by voting it as the winner. He just stated the obvious meaning of this victory. I hope it means more decent songs in the competition and less circus acts.

[Denver]

He has no right to say what is music and what isnt

[Niamh.]

I loved the song, best winner in years imo
:love:

[Amy Jade]

The guys an arsehole quite frankly, telling us his was the only 'real' music last night.

Real boring nothing more imo, if all Eurovision was and ever will be in the future is this boring I'll stop watching. I want a bit of crazy and pretty fireworks
