agreed. most portuguese music lends itself to fado in some way. her voice definitely screams that. try ana moura-desfado or madredeus-o pastor, also great works
Really angry! You deserved it! Proud of Portugal, we really love you, you're the best neighbours in the world! Europe, listen the real music, listen to Leonor. No ha um mar que nos separa porque nós somos irmãos. Todo o nosso amor de Espanha!
AlboTheMinstrel Good voice (Best female voice so far), good performance, still doesn`t go to the final?? This contest have other interests, which is not the talent. Portugal do not have neighbors who can vote for us .. sing in their language ... so it was not fair for us.. Sad Contest
MustEvil of course, it's always a conspiracy against Portugal. Before "25 de Abril", Portugal lost because of Salazar. Remember that excuse? This is a bad song, she has a normal voice and the language does not help. I am from Portugal, blaming others is always the meme. I hope Germany wins, out of spite of course. Sad nation, Portugal that is.
terrível? LOL. A RTP que coloque o festival da canção mt mais cedo não quase junto a eurovisão, Gaste algum dinheiro num video e claro que promova a musica e não leva a musica quase fresca para as semifinais.
She actually surprised me because in her national final her vocals weren't strong, but she improved a lot and she gave a very brave performance. At least she put a lot of enthusiasm and passion on the stage. Portugal always has a hard time in Eurovision. In 2012 I remember they send a gorgeous fado and they got eliminated in the sime finals. Good luck next year, Portugal! I hope Leonor is proud of herself! Amazing attitude!
I really wanted to vote for you guys. You are our brothers and you deserved the final. Portugal was robbed, Leonor did great. Europe must be deaf. So much love from your friends and neighbours from Spain. Obrigado Leonor, you were amazing.

It was my favourite in the national contest, however I always felt the vocalist had not the ideal voice potential to make it a winner song! I would expect someone, male or female, with a stronger versatile voice! I felt her voice was not as strong as the music itself was! BUt I am Portuguese and I try to be as much impartial as it is possible! But yeah, great song! Technically speaking
This was better than I thought it would be. And I'm sure that Portugal would've qualified if they were in the 1st semi final. Well all the best for next year! From Germany! :)
Normally... I don´t like our songs :P I liked the 2008 song.. but then... Russia won! :O this time I thought that at least we could reach the final even if we stayed in last position with 0 points. I don´t understand... I think some europeans are deaf :P Anyway.... good luck to Germany. I listened a little bit in the semifinal and I´m sure you´re gonna be great :) Love your country ;) Lived in Berlin 3 months. Best regards. Viel Glück :))
Andreia Andreia I really liked the new arrangements in your song. Thank you so much for your wishes. I hope that interest in Portugal isn't that low, pulling out of the contest would be really sad. :( I hope we'll do well on Saturday. Portugal is nice as well and maybe we'll get some points from you. ;)
Oh no... we will continue to participate. We like to suffer! :D even if we never reach the grand finale. the only time portugal did not compete in eurovision was in 2013 because of the economic crisis. Winning and losing is part f the game. We are celebrating an united Europe, at least for a few days :D Gekreuzte finger fùr Deutschland ;) viele grüße
Eurovision is always so hard on Portugal :( They send amazing songs and get robbed every year. Last year was great, 2012 was a masterpiece, 2011.... eh well maybe not. But still her voice improved so much and I'm crying that she didn't make it :(
TDCloud2000 Thank you, so much! Since 2008 I never felt so robbed... She was really good! But we were not the only one to be assalted - besides Portugal also Czec Rep, Malta, Ireland, Switzerland... Can we repeat this, please...???
Lot's of pimba tonight, nicely arranged with speacial effects and show-off tools. Guess what? they really got the ticket. I mean, maybe Europe is really a pimba event? and you didn´t noticed - english pimpa is much better, isn´t it?
Uma das mais bonitas cancoes que Portugal levou a Eurovisao nos ultimos anos. Pena que nao passou. Compadrio e politiquice completam-se. Well done Leonor and Portugal. Proud to be Portuguese. Eu tenho orgulho do meu Pais e do meu Povo.
Great performance! It's very appreciated that every country sing in their own language. So sad that she didn't go to the final. Greetings from your spanish neighbourgs!
Anfrers I hope Spain wins this year, you deserve not only for singing in spanish but because the music is beautiful oh, and she sings really well too :)
Anita Dorémi Yo preferiría acabar con el Big 5, no nos beneficia nada, actuamos en la final, pero solo actuamos una vez y además hay ciertos países que odian el hecho de que pasemos siempre a la final. A mi me gustaría que se disolviera, la verdad :). Saludos y buena suerte también!
Anita Dorémi For me, the non-qualification of Ireland is the most devastating disappointment. Specially in favor of the entries from Israel and Azerbaijan..

I love you, Portugal. Leonor Andrade is awesome. And the song almost make me cry... I understand the lyrics, and is so sad... but gorgeous at the same time. Please, keep sending this songs to the festival... Felicidades desde España. Os queremos, Portugal!
She should have Qualified for sure! What a great song, i love her voice in combination with the language/song! I enjoyed you Leonor, greetings from The Netherlands!
Sou Brasileiro e fico muito feliz por entender cada palavra dessa música, Portugal merecia não só ir para a Final como também ficar MUITO bem colocado! Parabéns Leonor! A melhor parte é quando ela sobe os vocais a partir de 2:25 e todos na plateia vibram!!!!
5 years later and still one of my favorite Eurovision songs of all time. So sad it's not on Spotify anymore, this used to be me and my ex's song when we were long distance
Even Conchita called this a beautiful song (otherwise she'd be weird xD) because this song is amazing, especially the last chorus. Greetings from Luxembourg
Raquel Lopes Give the thanks to Brazil because 90% of language is focused there.You are not popular,Brazil is popular not Portugal.Don't be confussed.And everyone knows Greek culture and in eurovision we always slay!
Raquel Lopes You have to learn Ancient Greek because it's essential for life,thanks to us exists democracy and we did the alphabet...my advice is sing in English because you will have more chances and you react so bad!I never hear any songs in Portuguese,only ai se eu te pego and lambada. And yes we slay ;) only this year we didn't go to the final
12 points go to PORTUGAL!!! The best performance of the night!! Best wishes, and I hope we can see you in the Final, you deserve it!! GO Portugal!!! :D
ESC Tops and Thoughts Good voice (Best female voice so far), good performance, still doesn`t go to the final?? This contest have other interests, which is not the talent. Portugal do not have neighbors who can vote for us .. sing in their language ... so it was not fair for us.. Sad Contest
James Tee Well I'm really happy my country still sings in Portuguese because the day they decide to sing in English like almost all the countries I won't watch Eurovision. Eurovision is not the same anymore, sadly now everyone wants to sing in English
Miuda Marcante é melhor ter vitórias morais não é? 5 anos sem final não abre as mentalidades? Eu nem falo em vitória mas se para irmos a uma final e deixarmos de ficar em ULTIMO LUGAR no televoto de 6 paises!! por eles nao entenderem a nossa língua e irmos cantar em ingles eu e a maioria de certeza que ficaremos mais contentes! Parecemos o Sporting!
Rodriportugal1 A música não precisa de Idioma. O que faltou a Leonor foi emoção e voz! Falta a Portugal mais de Vânia Fernandes do que de Leonor ou Célia Lawson entre outras...
RubsonM Não concordo. O idioma faz uma grande diferença. Se reparares os espanhois adoram a nossa música. Porque será? So utilizando o ingles se resolve o problema de não ir á final. E a Leonor até teve uma boa prestação. E a Vania Fernandes teve a mehor prestção desse ano. E não ganhou pq? A lingua. Somente por causa disso. Eu gosto do Antes do Adeus!
Portugal this year was amazing! Robbed again like last year... Still one of my most favourite songs this year! I will still support Leonor after today for being an amazing performer and artist ~ Justice will be served soon for you Portugal in Eurovision!
Que idioma tan adorable es el portugués :3 y la canción es muy bonita n.n Y aun sigo sin enterder como Europa no pudo apreciar esto :c merecía estar en el Top 5 En fin, para mi Portugal es uno de los mejores países por llevar canciones en su idioma nativo n.n 10 puntos desde México :p
Parabéns miúda, foste espectacular. Não passamos mas isso é por razões que transcendem o talento dos nossos representantes. Parabéns equipa, orgulharam todos os eurofãs portugueses. Boa sorte para as vossas carreiras ;)
Just heard the song for the first time. I could not vote for it because my country (Netherlands) was in the 1st semi-final. I can not believe Portugal was not in the final. This song and performance did not get what they deserved: many points! Well done Leonor and obrigado Portugal for sending this song to ESC. I asked Dutch people around me if this song is good, and they all confirmed it is a good song. I think I will play the song one more time (the 12th time today!).
Portugal should have been in the top 3 (in the final) for sure. What a beautiful voice, performance and woman. Portugal should be proud. Big up from Israel.
Había olvidado esta gran canción a pesar de haber vivido obsesionado, no recordaba lo espectacular que lo hizo Leonor en vivo. Una pena que no clasificó.
I love the song and performance, glad I am not the only one :) I knew she was not gonna make but I hoped for a miracle :) For me this was Portugal's best entry ever. Good luck Leonor, keep on doing what you doing. Love from Hungary.
There's nothing I respect more than a country singing in their own language. Even though I don't understand a single word, I still think of this song as a masterpiece.
a letra e a leonor eram uma só magnífica sua voz preenche a alma faz a gente viajar não me canso de assistila obrigado por esta linda canção leonor que Deus te abençoe beijos do brasileiro fabricio de Oliveira Silva
Lithuania, Poland or Montenegro are in the Grand Final, thank you guys. One more time, an amazing song with an amazing singer got robbed just because it's from Portugal. It's a shame that Spain couldn't vote in the 2SF, I'm sure that Leonor would be in the final. We love music instead someone who can't walk or a couple kissing. SPAIN LOVES REAL MUSIC, SPAIN LOVES LEONOR.
Some performances in the Euro-Vision are simply for me pure magic and this performance by Leonor last year was certainly one of them. The energy and charisma just flowed from Leonor and was simply amazing!!
Fria... Falta emoção e força na letra. Para mim, senhora do mar foi uma das melhores músicas de 🇵🇹 no eurovisão, além claro daquela que rendeu a nação lusa sua única vitória. Mas ainda assim (esta aqui) foi uma música melhor que várias bizarrices que pintaram na competição
Obrigado Leonor. Podes (injustamente) não ter chegado à final, mas creio que, em geral, todos nós portugueses e fãs tanto de música como da eurovisão ficamos felizes com a tua prestação. Sem dúvida um exemplo para os nossos futuros concorrentes. Portugal está contigo!
leonor in case you are reading,i want to say that you had perhaps the best song this year for..a real beauty and im kinda sad that europe did not appreciate. im thankfull at least that i got to hear your song and i will look out for you and other songs.big shame but for me...you won!
This is actually the first time I wanna listen to a Portuguese song over and over. Great job Leonor! You should be in the finals! I'm really proud to be Portuguese!
Sinceramente não entendo como não passou! De qualquer das formas, a Leonor representou muito bem o nosso País, foi das melhores atuações dos últimos anos que Portugal levou à Eurovisão! Orgulho!
Me puso la piel de gallina, hermosa canción, interpretación fabulosa y música exquisita es una pena que bellas canciones como esta queden fuera. Obrigado Portugal.
Amyanda See my other comments. Yes she is a serious "voice" and fantastic performance. Reminds me of the Greek singer Maria Farantouri. Spine tingling performances from both of them. C
