Very proud of Iolanda and her unique interpretation ✨🔥🔥
Hope people vote a lot to reach final 🙏
I hope so too cause Iolanda deserves to qualify!!!!
And thank YOU for watching ❤️🥰
Divine❤❤❤soo beutiful❤❤
It really is ❤️
This is a soft but powerful performance. I think it will get the audience's attention and make it through to the final. I can't hardly wait to see her perform live on that big stage in Malmö.
I agree with you!!! And I can't wait too ❣️❣️
Yasu! Fissika we are proud of her 😊 Great song, great choreography, voice.. incredible.. song in Portuguese language and with a Portuguese guitar… and the most important, a very relevant message. Grito means scream in Portuguese. What she does at the end is her grito to get rid of her demons. This song is about fighting with our own mental problems and raises awareness. Everyone: DO THERAPY - It’s a good thing! Ta leme! And congrats for Marina Satti!!! ❤
Thank you very much for watching and for your comment ❤️😊
I agree with everything that you said! The song is so good 😍
And thank you for Marina and well done with the Greek words ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pure artistic perfection in every aspect. Iolanda's singing so effortless.
It's almost too good for the ESC and that's why I'm worried about her ratings with general public.
On my list, Iolanda is a tie with Angelina at 1st place.
She would be 1st place worthy!!! ❤️
wow! so great, one of my favorite song so far, it has to be in the final of course. It's magic and a true enrichment for the contest 🫶
😊❤
Thank you Kosti for a lovely comment 😍 The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome the m 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 flames and her demons and at the end she makes them disappear with her scream overcoming the struggle . Grito = scream . Hugs from a Portuguese living in the Mindlads UK ❤❤❤
Hi there! Oh we live in the same country :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me the interpretation of the song!!!
I agree with you that the juries will like it more, but I believe that it will also do well with the televote! And second half is always better than first! I believe she'll go to the final!!!
Hugs from London ❤️🤗💕
Super proud! Iolanda did an amazing work in the Eurovision
She really did! She's an amazing artist and human being ❤️
TOP 5.
very proud!
You should be ❤️❤️❤️
Im happy!!!! Shes great!!! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Yes Kostis, She is a complete performer, an artist. Everything is detailed!
❤Iolanda🇵🇹👏👏👏👏
I hope both Portugal and Serbia qualify, because i need both songs in the finals. I hope they won't cancel each other 😢😢
Yes!!!!!! I want them both too 😍
Obrigada. Thank you for liking it 🙂🇵🇹
No, I don't like it. I love it ❤️😍
Amazing ❤️👏
Yes!!! ❤️
Thanks/Obrigada ❤️🇵🇹
Thank YOU for choosing this song ❤️
Obrigado 🇵🇹
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pure class!❤
Totally ❤️
As a Portuguese, I’m super proud of the song we are se ding. She’s singing about her struggle with “inner demons”, represented by the dancers. In the end she fights then and she sings: I’m a flame that still burns. ❤
That's beautiful and the performance makes so much sense and is so well made !!!! ❤️
@@Kostis_ESC by the way, I love the Greek song too. Marina is great, love her music and Zari is in my top 5 ❤️
Awww I'm happy ❤️
Thank you so much for the review. Wonderful as always. Here is the ANALYSIS and Lyrics, "Grito" (Scream) from Iolanda, Portugal choice:
"Grito" (SCREAM), presents a compelling narrative of resilience, transformation, and self-empowerment. The song uses the metaphor of fire to symbolize the undying spirit of the protagonist, emphasizing themes of endurance, healing, and self-realization.
Themes like:
Vulnerability and Surrender: (sense of awareness and sensitivity, possibly hinting at the anticipation of change or the buildup of emotional energy. Speaks to letting go of control, a leap of faith into the unknown. This surrender isn't about giving up but about embracing the process of transformation).
Liberation: "I want to let go of what left me hurt" is a clear desire to release past pains and burdens. This act of letting go is necessary for healing and moving forward.
Renewal: for instance in asking the "mother star to make the day rise again" symbolizes a plea for rebirth, a fresh start, and the hope that comes with a new day.
Transformation: "I transformed every verse of me" indicates profound personal growth and change. The individual is not the same as before; She has evolved through her experiences.
Persistence: The repeated phrase "It still burns" emphasizes ongoing struggle and resilience. Despite challenges, her spirit and determination remain unquenched.
Self-assertion: "Today I want to prove myself / That I can be whatever I want" reflects a strong sense of self-belief and ambition. She is determined to define her own identity and future.
Forgiveness: "Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer" shows maturity and emotional liberation. Forgiveness is presented as a step towards healing and empowerment.
Resilience: The imagery of being a "flame that still burns" throughout the song symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. She continues to shine and endure, regardless of past pains and challenges.
Self-empowerment: The journey from vulnerability to strength, from darkness to light, encapsulates the theme of self-empowerment. She actively transforms her pain into power, asserting control over her destiny.
Healing and Growth: The song portrays healing as an active and dynamic process. It's about moving through pain, embracing change, and growing stronger in the process.
Iolanda's 'Grito' (Scream), is a powerful anthem of perseverance, self-discovery, and empowerment. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and ignite their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope.
LYRICS
Iolanda - "Grito" (Scream)
[Verse 1]
I heard, (I) felt, the body charging
We continued like that, one and another, 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Long strides, chained in the (race) start
I want to let go of what left me hurt
I ask the mother star to make the day rise again
[Chorus]
(It still [Ainda] burns [Arde]) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns)
And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and opens it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
[Verse 2]
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 was) the one who dreamed first
[Pre-Chorus]
Long strides, chained in the (race) start
I want to let go of what left me hurt
And I ask the mother star to make the day rise again
[Chorus]
(It still burns) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns)
And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, 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 surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
Thank you so much for watching and for the analysis of the lyrics!
The lyrics are so well written as the whole performance was so well thought out and so well executed!!
Good luck to Iolanda ❤️❤️❤️
@@Kostis_ESCThank you very much. Grande grande abraço vindo de Portugal (Big Big Hug)
Big big hug back to you from London ❤️
The Sream
I heard, I felt
The body to carry
We continue like this
One and the other
One and the other
One and the other
I'm free falling
Let me know when you get there
I surrender here
Little by little
Long steps stuck 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
And give in to courage
That still burns
It 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
Bring together those who love me at a table
Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer
They don't fool me! (No!)
I'm every size
I still remember when I was little
And dreamed first
Long steps stuck 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
And give in to courage
That still burns
It 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
It still burns
I am a flame that still burns
It still burns
Burn
Burn
Burn
I transformed every version of myself
And give in to courage
That still burns
It still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns
It still burns
It still burns
Fantastic react, bravo,bravo,bravo!❤😊
Thank you so much ☺️ ❤️

Thanks koosti ❤
Thank YOU for choosing this song!! (Assuming you are from Portugal!)
Grito = Shout
Thank you ❤️
Άλλο ένα πανέμορφο τραγούδι, επίσης η αλήθεια είναι ότι χρειαζόμασταν και άλλη μπαλάντα γιατί δεν έχουμε πολλές φέτος, πάντως σε αυτό το είδος Πορτογαλία, Σερβία και Γαλλία και οι 3 είναι εξαιρετικές και φωνητικά και σε θέμα ενορχήστρωση, θα θεωρήσω έγκλημα άμα δεν περάσει τελικό όπως και η Σερβία, εγώ απλά θα πω ότι αυτή την στιγμή έχω εκτός δεκάδας Ελλάδα-Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο-Σουηδία-Ολλανδία, νομίζω αυτό τα φανερώνει όλα για την χρονιά που έχουμε.
Αχ πραγματικά! Τι χρόνια είναι αυτή. Εγώ έχω αρχίσει να σκέφτομαι να μην κάνω ΤΟΠ 10 βίντεο φέτος γιατί δεν ξέρω ποια χώρα να πρωτοβαλω!!!!
🤍
Portugaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
I have a question. If Iceland withdraws, does that mean there will be only 4 NQ in semifinal 1 since there will be only 14 songs without Iceland, and 10 needs to go through????
Probably but who knows? Maybe they'll replace it with a country from the second semi cause there are more there!
I have no idea what to think about this song, sometimes I think it's good and sometimes I think it's bad
Would you like to elaborate???
@@Kostis_ESC
It plays with my feelings then I like it. But sometimes I find the singing just like complaining and I don't like that as much. It's the tone of her voice that I don't really like like last year Spain
Hmmm I see what you mean. The thing you find as complaining I listen to it as pain and it touches me. But I understand what you mean.
@@Kostis_ESC thanks for understand it here can we always say what we feel that´s way i like your channel
If course! We all have different music tastes and that's beautiful ❤️
I don't think it will perform well on eurovision, but she is a great vocalist and it's a powerful song.
Well, this year is a very strong year so it's gonna be hard for everyone!
I guess we'll have to wait and see how the audience will feel!!
