I love this song so much. It is my winner this year, and I cannot wait to see it on the ESC stage. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch a different version (from the semi final or something), when she hasn't already won. It is perfection in every way! Those harmonies are divine, and actually, when they are singing in unison, it is some of the best unison singing I have ever heard. I've fallen in love with this, one gentle note at a time
I totally agree… these group of 4 judging did not even search for the semi -final song but the celebration one with all the artists that competed. This song is so amazingly beautiful. I live in California and let a friend who happens to be singer to hear it, and absolutely loved it. She spoke of the beautiful voice of MARO.
Portugal really delivers quality... she won the Jury and the Televoting... with this song about the feeling of "missing"....someone ... this song hits as well the actual emotional status of many after the pandemia and during this rising war.... her vocals got me from 1st second ... and I m sure this time - Portugal will qualify again...
Life has no meaning if we are not able to feel, to have and show emotions and this song is about that. SAUDADE by meaning something or someone that was important and good, inspiring and joyfull and is no longer there... but although it is no longer there, it still exists in us. SAUDADE is an emotion that translates the absence of something or someone. It is missing the essence of the presence of someone, of "that" moment,of that "thing"! SAUDADE is a single word that translates a series of sad and happy moments, situations, leaving a vibrating memory and feeling that will last forever - in this case, she is talking about her grandfather. " Nothing more that I can say says it in a better way" SAUDADE
Love this song and those beautiful harmonies, along with Maro's unique voice. Enjoyed your reaction very much, although I don't agree with Tyler regarding Maro's voice. Also be aware you were watching the celebration performance and the vocals were a bit influenced by the emotion of the moment. Maro is the girl in the middle. The others are her friends and also professional singers that she invited to do the back vocals.
Totally agree with you, Miguel. I disliked Tyler’s disposition from the very beginning. He was ready to dismiss it even with the question if they should shout MARO because it appears all in caps. Does he shouts ABBA? As for his comments on her voice… misdirected.
I would have been much more prudent in evaluating a voice from a video in which the euphoria was installed after an overwhelming victory in Festival da Canção, with the maximum score (jury and public), a huge distance from the 2nd place, in an edition full of beautiful and unique songs. And already after having obtained the maximum score of a jury in the semifinal where there were 2 mythical singers: Teresa Salgueiro (former singer of Madredeus) and Dulce Pontes. Maro arrives at the Festival da Canção with an endless number of musicians praising her voice and talent: *Quincy Jones, Pablo Alborán, Eric Clapton, Salvador Sobral, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Ivan Lins, Jacob Collier, Tracy Chapman* and many others from the classic and jazz to hard rock. The song is a work of art in 3 minutes but you should follow the video of the 1st performance or the live version on Avinyó. Cheers
A música não é sobre tristeza, mas sim sobre saudade. E saudade não significa propriamente tristeza. Vai bem além disso. Daí se dizer que não existe tradução da palavra saudade para outras linguas (o que também é exagerado, mas que na verdade não existe tradução numa só palavra). Para conhecer o valor desta Cantora tão completa é impossível ouvir apenas esta versão da música, ou apenas esta música. Para conhecer a Maro é preciso ir pesquisar o canal dela e mais além. Obrigada pela reação, abraços de Portugal. ✨
Maro loves duets, there's a lot of really good ones in her CZcams channel. Really a must listen, my favourites are the one with Jacob Collier and with Mateus Asato, a brasilian guitar player. About her personality, just this wonderful video : czcams.com/video/7BCTIS7c7xA/video.html I'm a super fan now, she is a player, a composer and she can also sing with a particularly beautiful voice! 💛 She will be huge in the future, but still independent because she is a free soul, although also a very down to earth person.
Saudade is a portuguese word that allow us to express a mixture of complex feelings. It's kinda the sadness of missing something or someone (in this particular case, her grandfather) with the reminiscing of the good moments that you had at the same time!
Check the full song and you will like it even more. Search for MARO - "saudade, saudade" (Live in Avinyó). You and your friends will freak out!!! And when you understand the meaning of "saudade" and the rest of the Portuguese lyrics, you will enjoy the greater side of this song.
It's one of my favorites, it's so beautiful. Portugal are on a roll. They're in the same semi as us so I'll probably vote for them since they're my favorites in the semi.
That was the winning performing. Not the best performance. Maro is a solo singer. The chorus are friends of her. But you should listen the official video. And the accoustic version. Other thing: this is npt a videoclip, like some countries. Is raw but live. And Real.
I think that here in Portugal we dont care much for winning or not the eurovision. It's the music that matters and our participation in the contest. Still, good luck for Maro. She deserves it!
Saudade Saudade , sweet atmosphere this song the world needs this atmosphere music no tricks loved it this song should reach Putin to see if he rests kkkkkkkkkk
I’m really not sure about untrained. She attended Berklee college of music as a composer, multi instrumentalist, arranger, singer and songwriter. She’s super amazing! I think you should maybe react to the acoustic version, final or semi final versions - truly incredible!

António Silva Saudade é a palavra mais bonita de Portugal,muitas mulheres portuguêsas tem o nome Saudade. Por exemplo Maria da Saudade. Viva Maro bonita musica Saudade,saudade
Like Iceland this for me falls into the category of sweet and inoffensive but not high impact. I’d place this higher than Iceland and I do like the live harmonies… but this is a borderline qualifier for me. Nice, but I could take or leave it. Wouldn’t run to crank up the volume when it comes on. Could it qualify? I’d have to look at their competition, but maybe. Would also not be surprised if it just missed out though. Now. Pet peeve: Musicians who put their name or song titles in all caps are a hard no for me. If it’s not an abbreviation, then it’s just plain shouting and I’m not having it. LUMI!X = no. MARO = no. LPS = Yes (because it’s short for something). It’s even worse in song titles where it feels even more like shouting. It’s the equivalent of someone texting at you in all caps. Just don’t. It’s rude. On my personal playlists I change it accordingly (or I’d be annoyed every time I saw it). I refuse to be shouted at. It’s an annoying cry for attention, an idiotic marketing tool at best and it hurts my eyes. There. Rant over. 🤓
@@TheManInBlueFlames I'm glad it does something for others and I'm not saying it's bad. I just don't think it's going to do all that well in a competition where most people will never have heard it before among many other songs with more immediate appeal. You are very welcome to love it though. I'm sure I like songs that do nothing for you in return... It's just different tastes. And this is just my prediction, I obviously could be wrong! ;-)
I'm not sure about that. There's been a surprising amount of love for it. Even I, a supporter of the song, was shocked at the amount of positivity towards it. The fact that some people are calling the song 'boring' shows that they are really clasping for straws when looking for bad things about the song. As Salvador Sobral once said, 'music is NOT fireworks'. THIS is music!!
@@TheManInBlueFlames Well… I wasn’t a Salvador fan and still am not. It’s just not my style of ballad, I need more raw, less pretty. And don’t get me started on that “fast food music” comment. That was so dumb. Also, I have to object. Just because you happen to love it, doesn’t mean others can’t think it boring or bland, it doesn’t make it “grasping at straws”. That just sounds like someone trying hard to invalidate an opinion that differs to their own. We can have a different response the the same song and both can still be valid. We are different people after all. I understand wanting others to share your enthusiasm but others may simply not agree. That’s sadly a fact of life in many respects. So who is “more right”? Artistically speaking probably nobody, not truly. Regardless of the result this year. And as for that result… I guess we’ll know come 14 May. Until then I’ll politely agree to disagree in your prediction. And if I’m wrong, that’s ok too. I’m really not that invested.
Tyler translation- I was shocked how bad her voice was ;) The first time I heard it I said "there is no way she has the best vocal in that group". Glad I'm not on my own; I don't think she is a good singer.

@@MiguelSF The song is really great but the first time I heard it my first thought was "she can't sing, couldn't they find someone else?" I now see all these reacts and people say she's a great singer, which totally baffles me. Even Eric Clapton has a duet with her on CZcams. I'm totally outvoted here but I stick to my opinion that she can't sing.

This is my favourite this year! So emotional as its about Maro's dead grandfather! Nothing more that I can say, says it in a different way...

Love your comments… right on target. Saudade is a single word that means so much and involves so many feelings.

So nice to watch now your reaction because we see how far she came internationally and how you’re not musically into see talent and uniqueness

They're in the same semi as us so I'll probably vote for them since they're my favorites in the semi.
Saudade is not sadness. Saudade is when you have touched all of your hope.
The eurovision official channel usually has CCs with lyrics provided by the delegation.

What is the song that starts with sweeeden?
10:42 well, I must say, it would be odd hearing Polish in the Portugese entry ;)
Felizmente sou português e SAUDADE é a nossa IDENTIDADE!
Espero que saudade não seja o nosso futuro. Gostamos da saudade, mas haverá melhor, porque senão iremos acabar de existir.

Início. Espero estar enganado mas foi a energia que me passaram.
@@JoseOnm certíssimo!
Bored 4 guys forcing conversation.. Anyways. Beautiful music and Angel voice. Music touch the soul of emotions
for you english speakers, it's pronounced more like: "Saw-dad" (dad like in father)

This is not the best performance, listening the final one before there winning it's amazing 😍
what an annoying group of critics!
Four me n/1
untrained vocalist???? my god

Song about sadness!? NOT! Totally wrong. A song about missing someone. Longing for something or someone. Saudade.
isnt sad 🙄 omg you dont have any idea what the song talk about😮
You guys look a groupie of empty… empty… just emptiness .. 😅I will not feel saudade 😂 in watching ya. Just my review to your review!
