Wins: None but they keep trying... god they are trying...
expected place: 24th
Highlights:
that when she claps while holding the microphone, you dont hear the banging...
Lowlights:
the thing in her hair. WTF mate!
Portugal: Flor-de-lis 'Todas as Ruas do Amor'
It seems that since they stopped doing ads for kids and better eating, the Wiggles have found a better gig, the backing band of the portugese eurovision act. though Jeff is hiding in Green rather than purple... I mean it isnt The Cockroaches, is it Jeff?
It is a pretty song, but what i dont get is why Portugal insists on entering almost every year with a song in pork and cheese (thats the official language of Portugal, pork and cheese). 42 attempts and no cigar mate, try something else. remember this fact, since popular televoting was introduced, Serbia is the only country to have won without singing atleast part of the song in English. Think of hos many countries understand Serbian. all the former Yugoslav ones and the Russian ones can get most of it. think of how many countries understand pork and cheese. 1... and you cant vote for yourself.
This is a song that should get into the final, but it might not. if it does, it wont do as well as it possibly could if it was in engrish. shame almost. it is fun watching chunky chicks trying to dance too...
Ghost of Eurovision Past: Carlos Mendes 'Verão' - 1968. Carlos is also known as harry high-pants to his friends. also on the night of Eurovision in 1968, the first Eurovision in colour, it appears he had worms. nice jacket though
