I love Portugals entry! Very good description of the choreography! It matches the song perfectly, and with her amazing voice and stage presence this became a great performance! It really moved me❤
Thank you guys or your lovely comment 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 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.

The Scream I heard, I felt The body to carry We continue like this One and the other One and the other One and the other I'm free falling Let me know when you get there I surrender here Little by little Long steps stuck in the match I want to let go of what left me hurt I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns Today I want to prove myself That I can be whatever I want Bring together those who love me at a table Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer They don't fool me! (No!) I'm every size I still remember when I was little And dreamed first Long steps stuck in the match Today I let go of what left me hurt And I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns Burn Burn Burn I transformed every version of myself And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns
