BAKU DAY 6: BELARUS AND PORTUGAL

Belarus sounds and looks good. The gimmick the guys do with microphone stands is rather fancy and hopefully it will be shot nicely for the TV screen.

The song keeps going like a train. The backdrop is some machinery or something. Simple and effective. More here . Portugal next and a complete change of mood. The backdrop features a city on hills (Lisbon?) at night and we can imagine us in the narrow streets fado in the air and Filipa fills the stage with some lusitana ...
