Portugal is my favorite this year.
Thank you ❤
@mio.vision 🤩Obrigadíssimo❗
Portugal is my number 1this year❤
Thank you ❤
My favorite song this year. I just love her outfit and make up. So different from all those 'same beat' songs
I really think Portugal will stand out. I see a lot of people being afraid about Portugal not making the final, but I think Portugal will surprise everybody. For me it’s making the final easily 😌
I think Portugal will stand out among the uptempo songs this year. Maybe that's just wishful thinking though since I absolutely love this song
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.
Screeeeeam! 🔪🔪🔪🔪
Strong lyrics, very portuguese. There's the touch of fado in it that gives it its very Portuguese mourning darkness... We're all goths in here. Ahahahahah
Thank you ❤
I usually worry for Portugal's qualification chances but they've qualified the last 3 years so I have hope that they will again. This song entered my rankings at number 4, I really love the sound and the performance and the staging
Interested to hear that you‘ve got mixed feelings on this one - it’s easily in my top 3.
Iolanda’s vocal performance is an absolute stunner and I think the dancing hits the right mix for the song - it’s an interesting mix of fluid, lyrical dance with more aggressive hip-hop elements that echo the hard and soft features of Iolanda’s styling.
The whole thing feels like a really complete, thoughtful package.
Thank you ❤
I think this is stunning!!!!!
Thank you for a lovely comment 😍 The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome them on you own. I get that is not for everyone and it might be thought to get attention from televote. She is on the 2nd half of the 1 semi is a thought one. If she gets to Final I believe that she will do way better with the juries vote. Explaining the choreography, the dancers are/represent the struggle and her demons hence no faces/ the lace and at the end she makes them disappear with her scream overcoming the struggle . Grito = scream . Hugs from Portugal
The lirics are amazing , we dont care we , the dancers are the extecion of the emocional singuer , please this his art ❤ we are proud of Iolanda
She is divine ❤❤❤soo beautiful song and performance ❤❤❤goo Iolanda ❤ thanks from Portugal
I agree that i'm not a big fan of all white usually, but i think this is done right. It works here really well, and I think so does the choreography.
Beautiful song! I'd describe this song as undulating
In my opinion the song is about depression, aknowledging it and realizing that the stregnth to get out of it it's in herself. The dancers are like the inner voices inside her head that gets her down, and at the scream (Grito) at end we can see the dancers getting away.
Thanks from Portugal 🇵🇹 for your comments and reactions!!! 😊
Portugal 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 ❤
In a sea of protest-songs and pop-bangers this performance is a breath of fresh air! Absolutely stunning - go Portugal - one of my favourites this year! 😍😍
Her hair and makeup looked good. I like her attitude and stage presence. She reminds me of Rosalia a little bit.
PORTUGAL 🇵🇹❤🇵🇹❤🇵🇹❤ MASTERPIECE
This is my 7th place! I adore this ❤
I think me and Nova have noticed a small detail that other people dont talk about that much: iolanda's subtle use of urban elements (like the clothing or the contemporary dance with some hip hop swag to it), something that is characteristic of her work as a musician (blending tradicional portuguese music with modern beats). Regarding the white lace and as a portuguese person myself, that element really reminces of the table cloths that our grandmothers usually have at their houses, which I find to be nostalgic. I do have to agree that this entry might be a bit too "intelectual" for some people, but I think it could really be a wonderful cathartic moment at the second half of the semi final.
Thank you for reacting to iolanda's Grito (Scream) and remember: We are all flames that still burn #aindaarde
P.S: Trust me... this was one of the best (if not the best) staging at Festival da Canção this year. RTP, f**k you for not giving most songs the staging conditions that they deserved and start doing the damn selection in an arena, specially when its the 60th anniversary of Festival da Canção.
I love how its taken seriously too. Sometimes these aspects are used in a somewhat flippant way? But here it feels authentic
@@liamkampff1 Subtle subversion works everytime
🥰Portugal Nº1 ❗
Go Portugal.
This performance out of this world is to be seen and heard in silence... Winner of 2024
Proud in our roots, culture and language- Go Portugal
Don't pooh-pooh the white lace masks, Lymp. The "I've-just-walked-into-a-cobweb-full-of-birdshite" look is highly fashionable on the Continent.
Is a master piece
The song 'Grito' by the Portuguese artist Iolanda is a poetic expression of overcoming and resilience. The lyrics talk about the journey of facing challenges and the ability to get back on your feet after moments of pain. The artist uses metaphors to describe personal transformation and the strength that still persists, even in the face of adversity.
At the beginning of the song, Yolanda describes the feeling of carrying the weight of the body, a possible allusion to the difficulties of life. The repetition of the phrase 'one and the other' can symbolize the constancy of the challenges that lie ahead. The expression 'free fall' and the act of surrendering 'little by little' suggest a surrender to the process of change, accepting vulnerability as part of growth.
The 'Mother Star' mentioned in the song can be interpreted as a protective figure, perhaps a metaphor for nature, or a spiritual entity that guides and offers hope. The artist speaks of 'transforming each verse of herself', indicating a profound inner change. The flame that 'still burns' is a powerful image of persistence and inner passion that does not go out, symbolizing the strength and courage that the artist finds within herself to continue to fight and dream.
Portugal usually made the song since the beginning with 3min to not need to cut or change after.
The dancers are supposed to be her fears and demons and shes letting go of them. I understand your point about the outfit and specially the lace in her head as that is something traditional that we use a lot here so not everyone abroad will like it but as always we do ourselves, if people like it amazing and if they dont and we dont qualify its fine, we feel proud of this entry!
I do speak Portuguese ❤💛💚 and the message is very clear right from the beginning! Probably the metaphors that she makes are imbued with Portuguese culture, which makes it easier for someone who grew up with Portuguese culture to understand.
There are also references to Portuguese music, and the way that she sings is very expressive; she is really singing from her heart, and you can feel her pain and inner struggle in her voice, connecting her deeply to the public. So, even if you're not familiar with Portuguese culture or/and don't speak Portuguese, she can still resonate on a deeply emotional level. That is also something that is very typical in Portuguese music.
This is my favorite song ❤💛💚 this year, even though I would give 10 points to many others.
The way I'm proud about this entry is crazy.
I loved "Ai Coração" last year but was a growner, on the other hand, "Grito" clicked instantly with me.
Iolanda already have the whole package ready to ESC (of course, some changes still need to be made, but nothing major), we will have a much better result than last years one (it's not very complicated either 😅) for sure!
Love from Portugal!
You have to see the lyrics, only then does it make sense, It has to do with your demons, they are the demons.
Loved you two reacting to this Masterpiece ❤️👌
I’m Portuguese and I’m laughing out loud because finally we are considered a grown up in something in Europe! Very good I appreciate it.
❤❤❤ obrigado. Linda canção.
Portugal, my country i am proud ♥️🇵🇹
I really liked Saudade, that was a fantastic entry from Portugal. I actually didn't vibe with Sobral much at all, and I found him a little... snobby?
As for this, I like it! I do agree it sort of just ends, that needs a little work, but the vocals are so great and so haunting. There aren't many songs like this one this year so it might do well.
You have to listen the music not the country . She dosen t need to dress man like women or too make it like a circus on stage. 🇵🇹 the stanging is a 💎, the lirycs are very good, it is a phoenix ❤, is a brilliant song .
It takes dedication and you need to understand a lot about music to understand this Portuguese song! 🇵🇹 Thanks for the reaction !
Pure class❤
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹❤
🙏🙏🙏❤️🇵🇹
Her lyrics embodies the struggle with inner deamons (portraited by the back dancers) and her scream (Grito) for freedom, healing and empowerment
STUNNING 💪🏼
They don't show their faces because it's her emotions
Iolanda
scream
I heard, I felt
My body charging
We proceed this way
One and the other
One and the other
One and the other
I’m free-fall
I’ll tell you when I get there
Here I surrender myself
Little by little
Big steps, stuck at departure
I want to let go of what wounded me
I ask mother star to make the day
Be born again
(still burns)
I changed each verse of myself (still burns)
And surrendered myself to courage
That still burns
Still burns
The light hits my chest and opens up
I’m a flame that still burns
Still burns
Still burns
Today I want to prove to myself
That I can be whatever I want
To gather those who wish me well around a table
To forgive those who wanted to see me suffer
They won’t fool me! (No! No!)
I’m all dimensions (I am)
I still remember when I was little
And used to dream first of all
Big steps, stuck at departure
I want to let go of what wounded me
I ask mother star to make the day
Be born again
(still burns)
I changed each verse of myself (still burns)
And surrendered to courage
That still burns
Still burns
The light hits my chest and opens up
I’m a flame that still burns
Still burns
Still burns
I’m a flame that still burns
Still burns
I’m a flame that still burns
Still burns
Burns
Burns
Burns
I changed each verse of myself
And surrendered myself to courage
That still burns
The light hits my chest and opens up
I’m a flame that still burns
Still burns
Still burns
We are still missing like is it 10-15 songs life performances. Portugal definetly has from the ones that we saw a top tier performance vocally live. This is easily a top 20 song, if others sing/perfrom poorly maybe even top 10?
Guys the only shame in this is the fact you probably watching without subtitles of the song . Without the meaning of what you actually watching . See the visual with lyrics is when this help see . ❤love to Portugal
Portugal the winner !!!
Cant wait to see what you ladies think of Armenia, that's one of my faves
This song is great!
❤❤❤❤❤
The dancers are an unwelcome distraction. She has the voice and a look. But, yes Nova, you have only three minutes. Her voice pulls me in. And then I am waiting. The breakthrough moment is only at the end - the high sustained note, the close-up on her face.
❤🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹👏👏👏👏👏
Portugal desperately needs your honesty
Do I detect a note of sarcasm in your comment?
Juries will eat this up 😶
Not a fan of the dancers' costumes, hope they will try something else for the big stage.
But still crying every time I see her performance, she's in my top 5 go 🇵🇹
Complaining about the staging and and making it the reason to Portugal only at #23, when you have Denmark at #2 who is literally just standing in a box. weird
The staging is not the only reason for Portugal or Denmark's rankings here, but I will say that we simply can't all like the same things and people will always have different opinions! 🤷🏼♀️
❤️🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹🙏🙏
My Friend Does Not Like The Song. I Reconsidered His Value To My Life...
😂😂😂
🩷🩵💜💚🖤
I agree with Olympia, the staging with all the dancing is distracting, plus it doesn’t really translate the meaning of the song so people that don’t speak Portuguese have an idea of what it’s about.
On the other hand I think one of the reasons Maro’s Saudade did well was that it had a simple, honest staging, so it felt like a group of friends getting together and singing, rather than a highly choreographed act, and that resonated with people.
All the best of luck for Iolanda though, I hope it qualifies.
As soon as you said J'aime private school girl the performance became reminiscent of Mr G "Ecstasy" ♫she's a naughty girl with a bad habit♪♫ Have you watched Lunatics? Jana ? Fabulous
Anyway, where were we, Portugal erm it's not my cuppa tea. Bit too much white everywhere.
Native portuguese speaker here. I believe the lyrics are maybe more about overcoming some hardship in life. Maybe self-doubt or maybe someone who let you down or the loss of something or someone. And to me it sounds like she's hoping for a new beginning and to be able to move on. Love from 🇧🇷 ❤
It is very ja’mie 😂
Eurovision trivia: Salvador Sobral's 'Amar Pelos Dois' is now routinely used by the CIA as a torture song to psychologically break detainees. Unfortunately, he doesn't receive royalties (as Teya & Salena will tell you).
You were the one who needed something that gave you more intelligence 🤡🤡
Beautiful voice. Not my favorite but I enjoyed the performance. (Happy to hear "PORK markets" again. That would almost be too easy for Charades 2.)
U should react to João Borsch’s “Pelas Costuras” which was another portuguese contender for the eurovision
I'm with Olympia. I cannot concentrate on the song with the folks in white flapping about. I like it much more with my eyes closed.
My problem with this is the staging. It doesn't connect with the song for me.
Has a portuguese not like salvador is understandabel.
Everyone has its own taste ( either good or bad) but I stop listening to this when I heard the word “cheap” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂… well….
I dont get portugal this year personally...
Defenetly this is not for ignorants
To be fair... FdC is not for non pts... 😂
Even in Portugal, it was a niche thing for years, but has been regaining some popularity... slowly.
For sure! If 30% of PT sees FdC, it's a lot 😂@@triplef-funfromfreddy4356
The guy in the right is a bit intelectual limited, isn't it ? In contrast, the guy in the left seems to get it, and much less superficial. But clearly ... its like Zé Cabra commenting the 9th of Beethoven.
Grito means Scream. Not my favorite. I thought Aceitar should have won! we will see
Se te calares um pouco e tentares ouvir a música vais perceber alguma coisa…
Did you miss the part where we clearly said we have heard this song before and watched this performance already?
The outfits don’t work for me at all. They’re giving some kind of new age cult like The society of light or something like that.
Obviously you did not understand the lyrics and the performance. These a special message about the demon feelings that we all have and not all can not fight against them... these gys don t chut up bla bla bla bla bla😅 just need stop talking and hear until the end to feel the story. These is completely different from the others performances pop, or even quiter...just keep calm your mind do not think, watch and feel and you will hunderstand gy with the brown hair😉
I like the song but find it a bit boring tbh in the staging and costumes
I find it a bit boring tbh it just washes over me
Yes you are very boring.
I hate the visuals and staging, song is nice but agree the song needs to be the focus there’s too much going on, i’m just not a fan of white really 😂
Another one with bad taste. "I am not a fan of white", well I am not a fan of ignorance.
Another one with bad taste.
@@RB71073 😂 calm down people can have different opinions
Portugal's ability to send a bad song and qualifying every year has to be studied
So does your arrogance, ignorance and bad taste.
This song is very high quality and deserves to make it in the final.
