I mean, I was really watching and didn't notice the nail design. The fact EBU chose to censor this just ended up bringing more attention to the very thing they were trying to hide. There's a lesson there, I think! So glad the juries appreciated this song - it's just masterful
France entrei was a piece of art! I’m Portuguese, but I had to share my points between Portugal, France and Switzerland! Class recognises class! Just a shame our jury did not behave with you! But the Portuguese people did! Merci frères et sœurs de France! ❤️
@@martinbrown193bc of her nails. It was her way to protest about israel, they uploaded her video after the votes were closed which made her won less points
You are right, I didn't notice. And I would not have votes for her had I known. This is a song contest, not an opinion contest. Mesmerizing song and great singer though.
Iolanda deserved every single point she got. 10th is an exceptional place for such a song. She definitely was robbed by the televote but I'm really happy that the Jury could see the beauty and emotion in this song just like I did.
@@idaliacristino9635basically every song is uploaded to RU-vid right after their performance live. However, because of her nails with Palestinian symbols, the Portuguese entry was uploaded after every single other entry (probably even after the voting closed, but I can't be as sure about that)
@@JorgeFonseca-o8d My heart is broken for you did not win :( Many of us in Portugal loved your entry and were rooting for you to win. I many times feel like Portugal has a Balkan soul, for we understand each other when it comes to music. Unfortunately, that love was not reflected in our voting this year. May this be the beginning of the wonders yet to come for you and your wonderful region.
I personally don't understand your place. I voted in Norway 4 times, was my favorite so far. I don't understand the jury but it's what we have. I hope everything to improve next year and congrats for Norway's song as well. 👏@simon919_
If there's a performance that I want to show to a Eurovision virgin, this would be it. I cried while watching this. Goosebumps all over my body. So powerful!!! Her vocals were insane!!!
Sério que foi esse o motivo? O que ela disse no final? Que vergonha!! Este Eurovision virou uma piada de mau gosto!! Sorte para Iolanda. Abraços do 🇧🇷 para 🇵🇹
@@CB-ch2mh ela tinha desenhos a preto branco e vermelho nas unhas, e em algumas parece o padrão dos lenços que simbolizam a Palestina! Sendo ela uma das que assinou o manifesto contra a participação de Israel na competição, é normal algum boicote!!!
this song has grown on me. at first i was like “oh another sad ballad”, but i’ve been replaying it and i’m entranced by her vocals, the way the strings come in at the beginning, the scream/belt, the staging, the energy. iolanda, you will always be famous 🤍
Well, next time Portugal can give a few points to Slimane 🇫🇷. He was ranked 19e by the Portugal jury ! 😂 Was Slimane that bad ? 😅 Happy the French jury did things right by giving points to this beautiful 🇵🇹 song !
Iolanda, it was perfect and Portugal is proud of you! Whatever the result, we have already achieved the most important thing, which is to show our culture with pride! Let's embrace our differences through music, the true spirit of Eurovision!
To think that there are people who argue that Eurovision voting should be decided solely and exclusively by the public... Portugal, receiving only 13 points from the televote and still finishing in the TOP 10, is the concrete proof that national juries are necessary at Eurovision, and their votes should have a greater weight than the public's in the final result.
@@titiwa632 that doesn't mean anything... The video of the performance shouldve been posted when the postcard of the next artist in the running order ended. Simple as that.
@@kittyloaf5560 exactly. Some people like to come here to rewatch the songs before voting, but this one was only available after the voting had stopped.
I don’t understand any word but the voices, guitar, harmonies and finally the power moves me a lot in these times! Thank you Portugal! Greetings from Germany! ❤🎉 you where the best for me!
Grito (Iolanda) I heard, I felt the body carrying We follow one and the other, one and another, one and another I'm free falling, I'll let you know when I get there I surrender here little by little Long strides, caught 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 (Still burns) And give in to courage That still burns, 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 (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, no) I'm every size (I am) I still remember when I was little I dreamed first Long strides, caught 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 (Still burns) And give in to courage That still burns, 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, still burns I am a flame that still burns, still burns Burn, burn, burn I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns, still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns, it still burns
Si, la calidad de verdad siempre viene de las propuestas Portuguesas. A ver si aprendemos de ellos… aunque creo que lo nuestro no tiene arreglo. Teníamos una bonita canción como la de San Pedro y enviamos a una señora que le ha puesto ganas y es divertida, pero no sabe cantar. 🤦🏻♀️
I totally agree. I am ashamed of the Spanish jury. Can’t they appreciate beauty and true art? That’s beyond me!!! Y el televoto ha estado manipulado seguro. Muchos españoles hemos votado a Iolanda y nuestros votos se han perdido? Quizá han ido a parar a Israel…😵💫😵💫
Shitshow is the least we could say. Totally fucked up. The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 didn’t deserve such good songs to be performed around all that climate that the EBU imposed to everyone when not wanting to disqualify a certain country.
@@patriciarodrigues5476 sem sombra de dúvida é um orgulho gigante na nossa rainha 👑❣️ nada apontar 👌🏻e de certeza que ficará na história e na memória de muita gente. Tão orgulhosa de ser portuguesa e do nosso país, temos tanto talento escondido e esquecido que a Eurovisão dê a visibilidade que os nossos artistas precisam e venha 2025 🇵🇹❣️
I feel nauseated by this 2024 edition...Hypocrisy is the refuge of cowards. Eurovision is rotten. Congratulations, dear Iolanda! You were brilliant! ❤❤❤
Fantástica!!!! Y lo del vestido de un diseñador palestino fue muy inteligente como forma de protesta. Bravo Iolanda por tu actitud y por tu maravillosa canción. Viva Portugal!!!❤❤
@@bigmastertyronedo you know who is the biggest supporter of Hamas right now? Netanyahu and the rest of the criminal bunch. Never in history had Israel hurt itself so much
Criminally underrated. Its mesmerizing, outstanding, i couldnt stop looking at the screen. I wish i could go back in time, watch it and hear it for the first time again. I'm hypnotized by her voice.
Something great happens when Portugal takes the stage, they send not just songs, they send art year after year, hope they win their second very soon. ❤️💛💚
Maybe Portugal deserved higher scores, but still I'm so proud of Iolanda! Her voice is so unique and powerful, and the more I listen to this song the more I love it! Lots of love from Italy!! ❤️🇮🇹🇵🇹
This artist has an incredible voice and her song is much more complex on a compositional level than most of the songs at the festival, her staging is very elegant. I spent my 12 votes and almost my €2 in Iolanda, long live Portugal!!! The professional jury saw what it really is, a great song, acting, vocal level and staging. congratulations from Spain
The nails, the dress, the message, the voice, the lyrics of the song, the soul. She really desersves all the ovations, she is a full package. 12 points from Colombia 🇨🇴
The best acting I've ever seen! These lyrics are simply poetry. The singer has an incredible and unforgettable voice. And the activism in defending peace should be valued, not penalized. Portugal deserved to be in the top 3.
I was impressed by this beautiful Portugese singer, I voted for several times from Belgium.I will ealways love the fado and Portuguese music🇧🇪🇵🇹🥰❣️🎙️🎶🎵
1 million is next to nothing. Considering that no one will find that song randomly, the actual viewers are the fans who keep coming back to it (like me). It deserves so much more😢
@@Name_cannot_be_blank4545I like it so much and I feel sad that not many people like it as much or better than Mon Amour. It truly is an underrated song overshadowed by Mon Amour 😢. No hate for French fans but I really like Grito more.
Glad the juries went for this! Perfect vocals, perfect staging, beautiful song, the best of the year by far! Shame the televoters didn’t get it but this being top 10 alone is perfect.
Pessoalmente, acho que esta foi a apresentação mais elegante e elegante de toda a noite. Não entendi os votos atribuídos pela Itália mas os italianos ficaram “arrebatados” por Iolanda. PARABÉNS! ❤❤❤
This is my favourite song from Eurovision 2024. Great performance. I wish Eurovision gives subtitles for the song that sung in Original language for foreign audiences. Maybe it will give more understanding. I want to understand the song better. But still without translation, it was the best song for me. 12 Points from Germany.
Thanks. And by the way uk have better music and performence that was provide. Good luck next year and be yourself in the line of amazing artists that came from uk in the past. God bless you all
Eurovision blocked Portugal's videos of the Final showing the video of the semi-final because Iolanda had her nails painted in Palestinian colors and because she said at the end "peace will prevail" and only updated it on RU-vid after the votes closed..
I’m not an ESC fan, but in order to stay informed i watched the recap and this song captured my attention. There’s so much soul and true art in it. Amazing.
Portugal meu lugar.. You guys NEVER disappoint. It was one of the most graceful performances, again! She was literally robbed by Eurovision itself 🥺 Beijinhos da Turquia! 🇹🇷
Once again a very classy exhibition. It was in my Top 10 for the final and finished in a deserved 10th place with 152 points, only 13 from the public. In the Semi Final Iolanda was only 8th but in the final passed 4 of the songs that were qualified in the first Semi.
