Just like Poland, Portugal is also back in ESC this year, with something that some like, and some don't (as is every other ESC entry this year or in the past). Suzy Guerra (pictured) will be Portugal's first ESC representative since Filipa Sousa in 2012, and will perform "Quero Ser Tua" in Copenhagen next month.
"Quero Ser Tua"--through the rhythm of the course of the song--pays homage to the Portuguese spoken areas of the world (including Brazil). The song has good vocals and rhythm nonetheless. She will perform in the first semifinal. She will be one of those in that tough first semifinal that will be borderline, however she might not make it. I like the song though, but a really tough semifinal, which she will perform in on Tuesday, the 6th of May.
I don't know what the fuss is about, but why are those who watched the Portuguese national final think that this other random song should've won? I mean, come on man! Look at some of the dislikes on YouTube of anything related to this song. These dislikes come from those molly-popping, latte-sipping, mainstream, top 40 listening, low life pieces of shit devil worshipping scum (and they could be Beliebers, One Directioners and/or Rihanna or Katy Perry fanboys/fangirls, or even Floyd Mayweather fans a.k.a. 'The Money Team'). They're not real Eurofans. The ESC is meant for fun, not to be treated as a sport (which it is in some cases).
As for the history of Portugal in ESC, the late Carlos Paiao's "Playback" (1981) is to me the greatest ESC entry from Portugal. Sofia Vitoria's "Foi Magia" (2004) and Da Vinci's "Conquistador" (1989) are not far behind. I even also liked "Vida Minha" by Filipa Sousa from 2012. Great stuff, just to name a few. This song might not be among the ranks, but it's good and uptempo and easy to enjoy nonetheless. Good luck.
Up next: Ovi Cernauteanu featuring Paula Seling "Miracle."
