When Salvador Sobral won the Eurovision, he said " music is not about fireworks, music is about feelings". And in 2022, Mauro is proving it again! ❤
Perfectly said!!! ❤️❤️❤️
And he's still wrong about that and it's still an ignorant take😂
@@daroand9887 Not ignorant, and you don't know everything. He can have an opinion on what kind of music is being produced and wanting to add more feeling to the performance than fireworks. It's an informed opinion and at this point he's also aware that people like you disagree.
@@daroand9887 And yet, Salvador got the best score ever without fireworks
@@Portubed im portuguese, i disagree and i think too its ignorant, music can be feelings and fireworks, we dont need only sad songs we also need trashy songs that just make us shake our asses....
Maro is my winner this year. No song makes you feel anything as deep as Saudade Saudade. I'll vote 4 it for sure
🤗 thanks ♥️
❤️🇵🇹 Obrigada/Thanks
@@a.m.1259 De nada, meus amigos portugueses. Boa sorte este ano e muita saudade sempre
Portugal is my Winner too!
I listen to it every day 😍😍😍🇭🇷
There was a reason why this topped the jury and the televote in the Portugal national selection. Maro has taken the concept of a ballad to a different place and she knocks it put of the park. It's modern, yet vintage.... it's dark, yet heartfelt. It's in the style of a young, edgy muse that has the chance to warm the hearts of the audience. Portugal's bringing a sense of Blanche 2017 to Eurovision 2022 and that's a really good thing. Clever choice Portugal- I love it!
Five women relieving and exorcising the pain of one of them, the sorceress of this song that won our hearts: MARO. This is gold.
I think this song will make all world want listen it all days ,i think wont ever happend Eurovision have a song like this its not a song to eurovision this is a hit that forever will be remember im in love with it.
I love it from the first time
my 12 points go to Portugal
❤ from Austria
Please vote for Portugal!
Obrigada 🙏
I’d totally dismissed Portugal after hearing snippets from their selection, but this song has blown me away. It’s not showy, but it’s summery & sad & delicate & gets right under your skin. Gorgeous.
Maro knocks it out of the park with this one. She's taking the concept of a ballad to a different place and that really works.
This is one of the few songs this year that sounds better live than it does on Spotify. And that is a quality of Eurovision winners
I agree, her vocals live on stage sound just as good or even better than the studio version. She's a true talent. Fingers 🤞 she qualifies at ESC semi final 1 & secretly I'm hoping she wins. I absolutely love this song. ♥️
WOW...PORTUGAL !
YOU MAKE US CRY !
YOU DESERVE TO WIN.
SIMPLE, DEEP, SINCERE...
SAUDADE...NUMBER1 IN TORINO !👏👏👏🧡🧡🧡👍
nothing more we can say, you said it the better waaaaaaaay!
This song is the only song that gave me an emotional reaction such that I cried TWICE, hence I have awarded it the first place on my rankings.
Please vote for Portugal 🇵🇹
This song feels like a warm hug and is so AUTHENTIC. Love it.
You've so very much nailed it: "A warm hug!" That's actually what I felt when I first listened to this song. ;-)
I had the same feeling! ❤️❤️❤️
I agree with Deban.... i will totally vote for this amazing song, because is my second choice in my top for Eurovision. congrats Portugal!
I agree with Deban..this is exceptional..I hope they don't change anything...This is becoming my favourite entry of the year.
You don't need to have a great intuition to realize that this song has an aura of magic and is so different in its beauty that it will easily grab the Momentum right after the 1st semi final. It is much more a hymn to peace than the song of Ukraine itself!
When I first heard this, I was in a difficult stage in my life... Actually all songs from Festival da Canção. But this one is so special. I was actually at online class when I remembered about it. So I looked up the performances for the grand final and I saw that it had won! And her number in the running order is 9 which is my lucky number. 🥺 I'm crying while watching this. I will probably again if she wins Eurovision. 😭❤️
EDIT: NOBODY GONNA SHADE DEBAN COZ WE ALL KNOW HE DAMN RIGHT! 😊
Maro has amazing vocals, she's beautiful, humble.... She's my favorite, 12 points ❤️💐🥰
My favorite by far
i didn't get her message at first listening (even there's mostly lyrics in English) but i immediately had a nostalgic feeling, and when i learned the meaning of "Saudade" i understood why. that's what music is about: to transmit the right emotion
When she switches to PT, the lyrics get much richer.
This is my favourite song - gotta love Portugal.
Portugal bringing the Lofi to Eurovision ❤️
Obrigado for your warm comments. Music is about feelings indeed. Love from Portugal ❤️
The danger of listening a second time and immediately going into loop mode is huge.
I learned that the hard way!
My Favourite entry this year
🤗♥️🇵🇹
I just can't stop listening to this song, it's so special! My 2nd place. Sooooo well done Portugal 🇵🇱❤️🇵🇹
Who's your 1st place? Mine is Poland with the song River. Krystian Ochman's voice is also sublime. Portugal is my number 2. ♥️🇵🇱♥️🇵🇹♥️
@@mazdaline1971 So nice to hear that, thank you ❤️ mine is Greece 😊🇬🇷
Poland has an amazing song , it's definitely up there on the top for me
Love to Poland from Portugal
Good luck 🤞
Portugal always bringing quality
This is so beautiful, one of my favourites, really hope Portugal does well again.
Number 1 this year! Let’s go! Portugal 2023!! 🏆🇵🇹
This song is so good. I have seen it yesterday live on stage and it was gorgeous 🇵🇹
The Sound of Beauty. ✨✨✨✨✨
"This takes you to a place."
that's EXACTLY how i felt when i first heard it!!! oh man i love this song so much
Can we just appreciate how Deban is getting each year more excited about Festival da Canção?!?!
I remember in 2017 when he was not very fond of "Amar pelos dois". I know, I know, different songs, and in the end he ended up liking it, but well, his heart is gettings more used to portuguese sounds. And I'm loving it.
Keep going with the great work!
Been waiting for this review. My absolute favourite this year!
This song is amazing, and Maro's voice is so beautiful and unique.
This is amazing and authentic. Bravo Portugal!!!!
My favourite song this year by far. I can`t stop listening and singing it! This is pure poetry
She invites you into your own emotional realm. She is saying that this wont always be easy, but it will be ultimately rewarding and a celebration of life lived, and life being lived.
Your comment brought me to tears. I never found a better way to translate to english the feeling of Saudade. I’m portuguese, and your words is what I say in my portuguese heart, when feeling saudade, specially saudade from my father, who passed away 2 years ago. It’s hard but the love I gave and got, the celebration of life is what remains
@@Janecas My own father died 2 weeks ago, so maybe this gave me the clarity to find those words. I am glad to read that they may help you. ❤️
@@alipanroosendaal9503 I’m so sorry for your loss and indeed it may have inspired you for words that comfort those who know what it feels like to loose a parent. Sending you a virtual hug
Saudade, saudade is a potentital winner to me. It amazes me the fact that ever since I first listened to this song, it has never stopped giving me goosembumps. and the fact that Portuguese is my mother tongue just makes it even more special, really elevates the song and expands my feelings towards it. Every single thing about this performance is amazing, the staging, the calming tone of her voice, the other women on stage supporting her, the clapping, the simplicity of her outfit, the palpable emotion behind the lyrics. it all comes together in such a unique way. this is gold, you guys. the imperfections make it perfect indeed.
Very good comment and reinforcement what said. Hugs and good luck to Maro.
12 points from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
And it's so catchy too! I think this is the second catchiest song of all! I heard it once and I keep singing it in my head! Beatiful, healing, soothing! Congratulations Portugal, this is medicine for the ears and the heart! Good luck this year from Greece!
Thank you, good luck for Greece too, your song is very good, one of my favourites :)
This song is beautiful & deserves to be in top 5. Best of luck Portugal🥰
🤗♥️
@@a.m.1259 ❤️❤️👍🤗
❤️❤️
💙💙
Such a magical song! Good luck Portugal 🇵🇹 💞💞
Everything here is magical and unique: indie-world-contemporary music, emotional theme in a cozy and shamanic atmosphere... The repeated chords in the background, Maro's whispered voice and the beautiful harmonies have you hooked like a hypnotic session.
This is pure magic. So warm, so much rhythm, such a great voice. It's in my top 3.
This is a possible winner. This song and staging is like poetry.
Zero chances to be winner, I'm afraid.
@@fabiodeluca4816 Não diria ZERO chances mas é altamente improvável
@@fabiodeluca4816 a lot of people said the same thing about Salvador Sobral. 🙄
@@claudiosilvachannel and Conan ;)
nobody does low key and understated like Portugal.
Go Portugal!!! addicted to this beat.🥇🥇🥇
The soft, but deep power of women harmonizing together such feeling as saudade, it's a perfect match of sadness and joy, it's a healing journey to the heart.
This was a love at first listen for me. Completely mesmerising
I really really love this song. I think it's probably one of the best indie folk songs from the past few years, and it is just simply beautiful, but im not sure if it is a song contest song. I hope it gets top 3 tho
It's calming, magical and not boring which I'm not getting from Switzerland. This deserves to be in the final
Elegant and wise mix English-Portuguese. For the first time I felt that Saudade could become a universal word. So beautiful!
As a portuguese I felt that too! This feeling of logging but feel happy with all memories, there is only one word, Saudade!
"Saudade" is when we remember those special days that leave a smile on our face. "Saudade" it's when we remember our father's hug after we won the first race of our lives.
"Saudade" it's when we miss our mother's hug and her kiss, and we smile thinking about her.
Saudade it's when a scent of pine and candys reminds us of a Christmas dinner on the mountain, where everyone was still present and we laughed and sing together.
"Saudade" is when we look at the sea and remember the afternoon we met in the beach, but fate didn't allow us to stay together forever.
"Saudade" is when we want to go back to that place where we were happy.
"Saudade" it's a discontented contentment.
❤ from Portugal
How much i love this duo ❤️ and the Portugal’s song is amazing 🤩
I was hoping for DÉGRÁ.DÊ to win but I'm definitely not mad this won. Maro gives chill Sade vibes. The song is beautiful and she's a class act.
An hypnotical voice (Maro) with a deep meaning ... A great song from Portugal
My winner this year, simple and adorable. God bless you Maro and your beautiful country Portugal 🇵🇹
This is the "You are at the seaside watching the setting Sun" kind of a song :D And it's cool ❤
The fragility of the human being, translated in an ineffable, but powerful way, by an unpretentious, but so beautiful and unique song... Admirable and touching! Congratulations, and thank you, dear Maro!
Haunting, hypnotizing, poetic, melancholic, unique....that's PORTUGAL for sure! Impossivel Portugal nao passar para a final 💚❤
Deban-I 100%agree😍😍
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹 AMAZING SONG! TOP 3
DEBAN - I love you for taking so much effort and time to express what this song and performance expresses for you.
This might wind up being my favorite Eurovision entry ever. So powerful and evocative in a way I've never heard from a Eurovision entry before but very close to the kind of music I like listening to outside of Eurovision.
Deban, you’re so incredibly wise. I could listen to your analyses all day long.
"Saudade" has no direct translation in any other language. It can mean missing someone, or longing... is the pain, the lack of joy, the weight in your heart when you can't be with someone or you can't go back to an experience from the pass.
This song is about her grandfather that passed away where she says that the only way to express what she is feeling is to use that word: saudade.
And this sing just won! So it is ou song for eurovision 2022 ❤
Just love this song more and more. Hope they make the best of stagings for this, this song has to be protected!!
She deserves a douze points !!!! 🇵🇹🏆🇵🇹
Great reaction! This song is so soothing! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Take care!
This song speaks to me. It feels wonderful.
Straight from the heart.
Amazing and magical song from PORTUGAL.
Winner alert.
Deban wow just wow 🇵🇹♥️👏👏👏
My kind of music. I love the very talented Maro and wishing her the best in Turin!
10:14 "She is in her own lane... This is not really competing with anything or anyone." (Deban) Agree 100%.
Missing my country right now... 💚♥️🇵🇹
( supporting from the UK)
thanks for your comments, this music is natural, a medicine for people who suffer from anxiety
Deban, you really nailed this analysis. Thank you! ❤️
Portugal is my Top 3 all up to be the winner cause is everything a Portuguese entry can be: melancolic, sweet and its lyrics also make the case for the language itself. "Saudade" is a portuguese word (not an expression) that only existis in portuguese. So when she says "there is nothing more that I can say" she's making the case that the word itself is so unique on its messange that resumes the entire song. PORTUGAL has EVERYTHING this year!!! I LOVE IT SOOOOO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am defenetly love it! This is my potential winner 2022!!!❤️❤️❤️ It would be more powerful if they would have opportunity to support Ukraine during performance - graphics, outfits etc. Everything would be precious!!!
It's so unique that People wont't forget it! Everyone will search in Google the meaning of Saudade.. it's a universal feeling. Just like Salvador she will touch people's hearts. 🇵🇹
When Salvador Sobral won the Eurovision, he said "music is not about fireworks, music is about feelings".
The word "saudade" cannot be translated, it means the feeling of loosing, something, someone. You feel "saudade" when you don't see your beloved ones. Even though most people don't know this word and meaning, when you heard it, you feel happines,sadness, whith chills, vibes, nostalgy. It's a word that travels your feelings. Absolutly astonishing song.
I don't care if we will win or not, this music makes me feel.............
Proud to be Portuguese.
"...music is not about fireworks, music is about feelings..." Salvador Sobral.
Thank you for the comments!!! Devon...i agree...feeling good vibes about the competion with this Portuguese song! Maro is amazing...this is art!
I hope this Will grow on People because it's really mesmorising
Fully agree with Deban’s analysis. Viva Portugal
Deban this song touch the heart ! and what you said too, i feel you so honest and candid, bravo la bises les amis
The graphics were beautiful, but yeah idk if it would be impactful enough. Love the song, and Maro kinda looks like my younger sister (I have 4 siblings and I’m the only blonde lol) so I’m gonna root for her regardless 😂
Saudade is a term derived from the Lusitanian culture, first Galician and Portuguese, which indicates a form of melancholy, a feeling of nostalgia. Etymologically, it derives from the Latin solitude, solitudinis, solitude, isolation and greetings, greetings and greetings. In some ways, saudade is a kind of nostalgic reminder, affecting a special good that is absent, accompanied by a desire to relive it or to possess it. In many cases, there is almost a mystical dimension, such as acceptance of the past and faith in the future.
Beautifully said i’d just like to add that from the latin word for “saudade” also comes the spanish word “soledad” that has the same meaning, and i’d also like to make a small correction: saudade comes from Galician culture (from which modern galician and Portuguese derive), not lusitanian (which was basically destroyed by the moor invasions and then by the galician “reconquista”). Lusitanian and galician culture have basically nothing in common.
Saudade saudade has the same mesmerizing magic as Ecos na Catedral, by Madredeus. There is no doubt about the timelessness of Saudade saudade. And the most beautiful thing was to see the great Teresa Salgueiro being part of the 1st jury that gave the maximum score (12 points) to this beautiful and unique song.
Making a gift from a loss is art.
From the heart to the heart ❤
your comments made me cry, the song talks about the feeling of loss of a friend and the longing you feel for missing him. "Saudade"=missing
Dude. We are portuguese. We like to feel things in music... we dont care if we win. We cant send bullshit and fireworks...
As I said on Twitter, just when I think I've outgrown this contest, it serves something that is so up my street it's knocking on my front door. This is the kind of music I personally listen to when Eurovision is not on. Trying to label this song within typical Eurovision parameters as either ballad or up/mid-tempo does the song and the listener no favours. It's contemporary indie world music. It's Cafe Del Mar Ibiza Chillout. You listen to this both on the sunlounger and at London's Royal Albert Hall. I'm reminded of an album by the American group Thievery Corporation entitled "Saudade" that's full of similar music, a bit more bossa nova perhaps, so I'd recommend that album to anyone who wants more music like this. As for staging, I think the physical set up is fine, no extra props or performers on stage needed, but it is a bit too flat for Turin as-is. The necessary changes are purely about lighting and camera work, they need to Common-Linnets it a bit, using her live performance in Avinyó as inspiration. You can also draw a good comparison to Hungary 2013 Kedvesem. The only area I'd really experiment with is her outfit, I'm really torn on whether her modern look suits this song more than perhaps if she had her hair down and wore like a woollen poncho or something. With the right changes, this could go top 10, but as long as she qualifies for the final, I'll be happy for her.
Great comment. Thievery Corporation, Saudade. One of my favorite albums ever. But none of those the songs hits my heart like Saudade saudade.
In my own experience of loosing the person i loved the most, my father, despite the longing i feel love, a lot of love love you received and gave to that special person. It’s a longing for missing it, the moments you will never live again, but you go on with tranquility supported by the love you felt and gave. This part has a longing part but has a well a celebration of true love which is ramais forever
This song is just perfect. Everything about it sounds magical and unique. It will stand out in Turin for being so fresh and pure... Besides people will identify themselves to the lyrics, especially now that we are living such terrible moments. I can see this doing pretty well with both national juries and the public. ❤️
The word Saudade defines an all cultural spirit of the portuguese soul. Is very hard to translate not because of it means (simply, miss you or miss that) but because of his philosophical meaning (missing someone or something that we belong or belong to us), a mind state that could take us into deep emotions like euphoria or melancholic moods... at the same time. Maro with this work of art knew how to translate that complex emotion in a 'simple' song that I believe will remain in our national songbook. And that is a win already. As a portuguese i am proud to be represented by this beautiful music in the greatest show on earth. Thank you for your review and kind reaction ;)
Sou eu, eu mesmo, tal qual resultei de tudo
Espécie de acessório ou sobressalente próprio
Arredores irregulares da minha emoção sincera
Sou eu aqui em mim, sou eu
Quanto fui, quanto não fui, tudo isso sou
Quanto quis, quanto não quis, tudo isso me forma
Quanto amei ou deixei de amar é a mesma saudade em mim...
Poema de Álvaro de Campos (heterónimo de Fernando Pessoa)
I've been waiting for your reaction for ages! :) Thank you for your kind words.. I am so proud of this song that even if we dont pass the semi-final, it is still a winner in my heart
In her presentation video, Maro revealed that she wrote "saudade, saudade" to remember her grandfather, who recently died. "It wouldn't make much sense not to be me singing such a personal theme", stressed the artist. Maro is the artistic name of Mariana Secca, from Lisbon, who grew up in a family environment marked by music, began studying piano at age four, attended the conservatory and studied at Berklee School in Boston, United States.
too good for Eurovision
Queridos amigos, muito obrigada pelos vossos preciosos comentários!! 😊 Já tinha SAUDADES vossas!! ❤️
Sim, a "nossa" querida Maro presenteou-nos com uma lindíssima música, única, uma obra de arte... e a voz é maravilhosa....
Impossível não nos sentirmos tocados/sensibilizados, há muito sentimento e emoção, há simplicidade, beleza e genuinidade.
Tudo nesta música me emociona profundamente..., Lentamente vamo-nos sentindo como que envolvidos nesse "mágico" ambiente repleto de emoções, paz, tranquilidade, amor, e, que de tão belo e puro, nos eleva... Minha alma e coração agradecem.
This was NOT my NF winner, however I do like it. It will qualify and finish right-hand side. She showed Serbia how to do hand-clapping in a GOOD song
