Unfortunately it has no winning chances because the ESC audience doesnt appreciate songs and voices like this enough. But it is perfect. Her voice, the lyrics and all of that in the beautiful portuguese language. That's the kind of entry I wish from everybody but most of the entries are boring english pop songs (including my country Germany).

as a portuguese, i prefer the portuguese culture to be appreciated by a small minority that really appreciates it, than by the masses who consume it as popcorn and then go the next thing.

Wait, so Kalush Orchestra and Måneskin are boring English pop songs?

I love this song! It’s disgustingly underrated, really hope it qualifies.

There's something so eerie in this song. It sounds very unusual. The instrumentation is simple, the singer's voice is gorgeous with that roughness in the timber. Also it's in the national language which is always a plus for me. It's like there's pain or despair in her voice. It's beautiful.

This song has its roots in fado, traditional Portuguese music.

Pain and Despair is part of Fado, a Portuguese style of singing. That is why this song has that painful feeling although it's not a Fado song, it's Fado inspired for sure.

The lyrics, the music, the singer, the dancers & everything else makes this song so captivating & beautiful✨

I already know she is gonna like it. Iolanda might not be a winner at Eurovision but she is an unbelievable artist! Also the lyrics are pure poetry, the translation don't do any justice, just believe me when I say this.

The best song in the contest imho. Looking forward to this one.

This song is wonderful, I wouldn't be upset if this song won.🥰

this is my number 4 of all 37 and i think it's heavily underrated by most other people

the meaning of this song_ she free herself from suffering, learned the lessons of life and stopped being afraid, feeling free- its a song with a touch of fado, but positive and full of hope. :) Big hug from Lisboa

Hi Georgina. Great fan of yours.Waiting long for this reaction. I think this is the best of Portugal's songs since Salvador Sobral. Once again we are really underrated at the odds. This is Master peace, it has soul, great music, lyrics, voice, performance, staging. This is perfection. I don't care if we'll not qualify at the SF. I'm really proud of our representation. It's true, honest and we are out of the standards. Be different, Be unique.

Portugal & Serbia are my favourites. So breathtaking songs and performances, and beautiful & emotional voices💚💚

Υπέροχο τραγούδι, μαγευτική φωνή, πάθος και συναίσθημα💝🦋

This is pure Gold... 👏 👏

Love it also 👌 A true Masterpiece ❤️❤️

It’s sad but also very inspiring, it’s about overcoming depression and the feeling of being alone and defeated, and coming back to life. She says “sou chama que ainda arde” which means the inner flame is still burning.

Portugal at it's best and I know you'd love it - it's beautiful in every way!

She is divine ❤❤❤soo beautiful song and performance too ❤❤❤ thanks from Portugal ❤

Pure art. 🌚🔥

So beautiful 👏🏼🤍✨

This is so underrated for a masterpiece like this 🇵🇹❤🇫🇷

I think this song is truly underrated. It doesn't have any Eurovision vibes, but neither Amar Pelos Dois, and Portugal won in 2017 with a beautiful ballad! I am truly excited with this year's edition 🙂

This again is special. I feel like Portugal is coming out each year with top shelf high quality stuff. But it’s often tossed aside. This should be top 5.

Well said... beautiful.. and so underrated. Portugal's rbtry this year is 💥

I really enjoyed this one. It's unique.

Finally! Can't wait to watch this one!

I was checking everyday to see your reaction to this one! Hope that you loved it!

Beautiful song and voice 12 points Portugal 🇵🇹

Just Portugal 🇵🇹 again in there best! Glad to have Portugal in Eurovision. Always they know how to bring art to the show. I love it. Dark horse of this year. Jury and public will love it. So diferent of another countries. My winner this year.

I LUUURV this song. It's in my top 5 of my ranking and I REALLY hope it qualifies from semi 1 bcs it should BELONG in the Final

Thank you for your reaction, from a proud portuguese 🇵🇹

Glad you like this entry Georgina. Thanks 👏

4:10 That's the "Grito" (scream), letting out all her past frustration and restarting all over again with perseverance. Thank you for your reaction!

The react I'm waiting for ❤

I've been looking for your chanel everyday to see what would be your oppinion/reaction. Love this song ❤

I love this so much. I need her in final.

Another impressive riff is France Slimane’s vocal from his Croatian performance. He sings acapella near the end of the song and holds the most impressive note standing ten feet back from the mic….WoW!!

Thank you Georgina for your lovely comment. I have been anxiously wating for it because I appreciate your honesty even when you do not like what I do like !!! The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome them on you own - Self empowerment. I get that is not for everyone and it might be thought to get the attention on the televote. She is on the 2nd half of the 1st semi final what is a difficult one. But if she gets to the Final I believe that she will get the love and attention of the juries. Explaining the choreography, the dancers are/represent the struggles and her demons and at the end she makes them disappear with her scream overcoming the struggle . Grito = scream . The white is to represent the flames, the pure white light the that emanates from the soft candle flames. Love from a Portuguese in the Midlands

I knew u would like itt! 🤍🤍

Obrigada for your great,honest and right opinion! I love the Portuguese song and I hope Iolanda gets the appreciation and points that she deserves! She is a fantastic singer and has the quality of a winner even then is so low in the Odds! Good luck Portugal 🇵🇹❤

This song is a masterpiece. How is it possible that they are not giving it its due value?

Hi Georgina, we've been waiting for your comment for a long time, put your phones up loud to hear the SCREAM, this is a piece of art, atention, this is not pop music.

Thats the potuguese fado type of voice. We have a ton of singers with this quality

Portugal 🤍🤍

We Portuguese have a sadness in our DNA; we even have a word, that doesn't exist in english, that conveys the sadness of missing someone: 'saudade'.

Masterpiece

Portugal the winner !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Her name is Iolanda; not Lolanda! It's like Yolanda, but we write the name with "i". There's no "y" in Portuguese (nor "k" and "w").

Like you said. It's a package of high quality performance and a fantastic interpretation from Iolanda.

Nao chega dizer que gostam,teem que votar,agora está nas maos das muitas pessoas que vivem fora de portugal para votar para passar á final.....

Tad Spain last year but totally individual. Refreshing to see fully clad costumes and in white. This works so well visually, vocally and as a song to listen to. If this isn't top 10 I'll be so surprised. A stunning entry from Portugal, thank you.

Portugal performance is pure poetry. Beautiful! ❤❤❤

My favorite big notes from esc is definitely sugar by Natalia gordienko!

A Masterpiece 💥💥🇵🇹!!!

Voice is crazy! Very beautiful ❤

I feel this song all my senses.

I think the lyrics' translation might not make what it really is the background of it. In a nutshell, it relates with her your demons in life and her mental struggles which is represented by the dancers - in some parts of the music they follow her movements or she follow theirs like a unison until she releases the "grito" (scream) that make them go away in the end. Tbh I think that we (I'm Portuguese) will struggle to be in the final which, I think, it's a pity because as a music and performance, this is great in my opinion.

Thank you for your reaction, I always love watching your videos!

Favorite big notes- My heart beats like a Drummmmmmm ooo in The Code, Mon Amour basically the whole entire part he steps away from the mic, and La Noia basically the runs at the end in the final chorus.

Thanks ! Yes a beautiful song. And Iolanda so special. A big cultural tradition in Portugal with a voices of the women' s. In popular songs in North / Minho region. Or with fado, capacity put a voices in places emotionals. Please invite you listen more voices females portugueses! All the best for you!❤ ❤❤

"I am the flame that still burns". The scream breaks in the silence, its something broken, I understand that's why she doesn´t make the vibrato longer.

I love this song! ♥

one of the bests this year

She made it too the finale at yesterdays semi. I think a lot the audience at did the same as us. We sat absolutely still and didnt make a sound.

Bravo Iolanda. Pura Arte. Sem precedentes. A autenticidade da sua voz, mensagem e emoção. A história da sua luta é compatível com o "grito" que todos temos no olhar. Força . Foco . Fé. Digna de louvor. Obra prima de arte emocional, determinação e coragem. Sabedoria emocional e resiliência. Divino e celestial. ARTE GENUÍNA E PURA. Conquista a nossa alma. Reacende a nossa chama. Digna de louvor, admiração. Exímia! VENCEDORA E CONQUISTADORA 🤍🔥🙏 jamais desistir ou resignar. Tudo é possível! Pois TU EXISTES E CRIASTE UNICIDADE.
