Posted February 24, 201213 yr The struggle was not joy, hence here's the revamped Festival da Cancao for 2012: 1 - "Gratia plena" (Eng: Full of Grace, apparently the title is in Latin) Nuno Feist (m), Nuno Silva (l) 2 Pedro Macedo - "Outono em forma de gente" (Eng: Autumn in People Form) Pedro Marques, Daniela Varela, Jaime Oliveira - Flor-de-Lis (m&l) 3 Tó Martins - "Amanhã começa o meu futuro" (Eng: Tomorrow My Future Starts) Tozé Brito (m&l) 4 Gerson Santos - "Redescobri Portugal" (Eng: I've Rediscovered Portugal) Tó Zé (m&l) 5 - "Amor é maior que a vida" (Eng: Love Is Larger Than Life) Tiago Dias (m), Marisa Liz(l) 6 Pamela Salvado - "Fica a Saudade" (Eng: Longing Remains) Miguel Gameiro (m&l) 7 Cúmplices - "Será o que será" (Eng: It Will Be, What It Will Be) Jony Galvão, Rui Reis (m&l) 8 - "Um poema na bagagem" (Eng: A Poem in the Luggage) Menito Ramos (m&l) 9 Carlos Costa - "Queres que eu dance?" (Eng: Do You Want Me To Dance?) João Só (m&l) 10 - "O mundo passa" (Eng: The World Passes By) Armando Teixeira (m&l) 11 Rui Andrade - "Amor a preto e branco" (Eng: Love In Black and White) Miguel Majer (m&l), Inês Vaz (l) 12 Filipa Sousa - "Vida minha" (Eng: Life of Mine) Andrej Babić (m), Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson (m), Carlos Coelho (l) Click on the artists' names to watch one of their performances. Dead curious to see what Flor-de-Lis can come up with for that little boy, as well as what Carlos Costa (our own version of Tooji, if you will) will bring to the table. This will obviously be won by Andrej Babić. Edited March 24, 201213 yr by Vülker
February 24, 201213 yr OOOH Andrej Babić! *.* Interestingly though his songs always seem to be finishing in the 13th-15th area in Eurovision, apart from Love Symphony :lol:
February 24, 201213 yr Author OOOH Andrej Babić! *.* Interestingly though his songs always seem to be finishing in the 13th-15th area in Eurovision, apart from Love Symphony :lol: Which is terrific news for Portugal, really! :lol:
February 25, 201213 yr Author Time to step up the game! 50 years without a Top 5. :lol: Tell me about it! I do hope Babic gave that girl a good Fado number. Vania Fernandes fared incredibly well with a close enough formula, and it should leave the juries in absolute awe for us. So, in my head, Portugal + Fado = Italy 2011-like result. Yes? :rolleyes:
March 10, 201213 yr I haven't listened to any of the songs, but I hope for something like Flor-de-Lis, Vania Fernandes or Filipa Azevedo to be chosen tonight. From the comment above though, that seems unlikely :(
March 10, 201213 yr Watching the show now on webcast. It isn't really up to much, I'm waiting for a Senhora do mar (or a flor de lis) to pop up but nothing. :( So many blooming ballads.... Edited March 10, 201213 yr by Sabrewulf
March 10, 201213 yr The voting started about 15 minutes ago, and should last another hour :o Filipa is winning at the moment however :)
March 11, 201213 yr I've decided I'm going to stick this through to the end! I might be up a long while yet :P Anyone keeping me company? Edited March 11, 201213 yr by Ryan741
March 11, 201213 yr And the winner is... FILIPA SOUSA with VIDA MINHA! :D I haven't heard the song yet, but I will have after this reprise ;)
March 11, 201213 yr I thought they dragged out the voting so much so Anggun had chance to fly in from Romania! :lol: (I did not steal that joke from another site :blush:)
March 11, 201213 yr The voting really did drag didn't it? It seemed like there was an endless supply of jury voters. (Seriously there must have been at least 30+) Not crazy about the song, it's very meh. Edited March 11, 201213 yr by Sabrewulf
March 11, 201213 yr Yeah they drag it out to get people to watch the channel :P 18 jury votes for the 18 districts.
March 11, 201213 yr Andrej Babic's song won. What a surprise :heehee: It's quite nice though. Edited March 11, 201213 yr by Caïn
