This is the best song Portugal has sent to Eurovision. Can't believe they did not win this year. I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song. This song is so beautiful and authentically Portuguese. Unlike other countries sending Swedish/American pop, Portugal stays true to themselves sending distinctly Portuguese songs. Te amo Portugal, muito gosto das suas canções em Eurovisão!

Probably the best Portugal’s entry at Eurovision. Simply perfect. Staging, song, vocals, perfomance. All. So underrated cause this deserved top five for sure. Thanks for this art.

Merito da grande voz e performance da Vânia. Voz de outro mundo. Mas para ganhar tem que ser uma CANÇÃO mais marcante logo de inicio. Está musica leva 2 minutos para começar a ter efeito. E mais uma vez os cenarios e os planos de camara não combinam. CRIATIVIDADE. O nosso grande problema continua a ser as canções...

Audiences are (were?) different for semis and final - semis at the time were (still are?) pretty much diaspora + megafans, and the final had a wider audience. Sympathy for Portugal was at an all-time high among the fans, it was last in its semi draw, and let's face it the song was/is a masterpiece. Only thing I can think was that Europe wasn't willing to have two straight powerful ballads winning. I do think it'd have broken top 10 with 50/50 though (EBU never did release 50/50 or jury results) or a draw closer to the end.
