Here we go with the second semi-final of Festival da cancao 2023. You can read my thought about the first semi-final here. Edmundo Inácio - A festa **** He's one of the open call qualifiers and I certainly want to join his party. Lovely arrangement and rhythm, very nice voice. Latin inspired but not in the usual banal way. I hope the live staging and performance will be good! The Happy Mess - O impossivel *** Again very nice but quite forgettable. Not much to say, enjoyable while it's playing. Teresinha Landeiro - Enquanto è tempo *** Very classic old school, beautiful. Timeless. Bandua - Bandeiras *** Intriguing and interesting. Probably would suffer Telemóveis fate in Eurovision. But I like this a lot more, that was way too weird. Bárbara Tinoco - Goodnight ** Why in English, why? Loses a lot becoming a song from any random national final anywhere. A song that doesn't bother the top of the scoreboard. Anywhere. Inés Apenas - Fim do mundo ** Another open call qualifier....
