ESC 2015 IN VIENNA - DAY 6: PORTUGAL

Portugal has lost the backing singers hats but Leonor is wearing the same black dress. She sings well and I like the song, apparently being in a huge minority. I guess Portugal is with San Marino in the group of countries so many fab eurofans love to look upon, talk bad and love to dismiss. This is a good song that could be a hit on the radio outside the Eurovision bubble. The backdrop is dark with blue and grey abstract motives and big city skyline at times. Not the most innotative nor original staging. A lot of shoulder shaking and hair waving by the end for some reason.... As much as I would love to see Portugal also inthe final I'm afraid it's not going to happen.....

ESC 2015 IN VIENNA - DAY 3: PORTUGAL HAS HATS

If everyone was talking about Trijntje's dress after her first rehearsal, today's attention is on Portugal's hats. Most are asking why-ay-ay? But hey, Portugal has had hats before! Anyways, Leonor is in black, as are her backing singers. Also the backdrop and stage seems rather dark most of the time with big city silhouttes and skyscrypers (again!) fitting the romance and mostly heartbreak and melancholy atmosphere of the song. And she's got a wind machine! Will this all be enough to take her to the final? Maybe not sadly. I like the song, I like her voice, but.... I feel like I'm in a minority here.
