A lot of this lot went over my head tbh but I did save these five to my playlist to check again:

 

NAPA - Deslocado (something interesting to this one)

Luca Argel feat. Pri Azevedo - Quem foi? (reminds me a bit of Amar pelos dois in vibe and melody)

JOSH - Tristeza (feels like quite a rousing entry that could do well for them)

Inês Marques Lucas - Quantos Queres (nice tune and production)

HENKA - I Wanna Destroy U (English language rock would be a swerve, but I'm into it)

My ratings:

 

1. Tristeza (10/10)

2. á-tê-xis (9/10)

3. Cotovia (9/10)

4. I Wanna Destroy U (8+/10)

5. Quem foi? (8+/10)

6. Rapsódia da paz (7.5/10)

7. Ai Senhor (7.5/10)

8. Lisboa (7/10)

9. Medo (7/10)

10. Responso à mulher (7/10)

11. Deslocado (7/10)

12. Quantos queres (6/10)

13. Calafrio (6/10)

14. Voltas (6/10)

15. ADAMASTOR (6/10)

16. Apago tudo (6/10)

17. A minha casa (6/10)

18. Eu sei que o amor (5/10)

19. Ninguém (5/10)

20. Sobre nós (4/10)

 

Top 5: 8.8+/10

Overall: 6.85+/10

 

Tristeza is giving me huge contender vibes, especially as we get more and more uptempos selected! Very very good.

Portugal's odds have massively shortened, I guess in anticipation of Tristeza winning - it definitely could do extremely well.

 

On Spotify Deslocado by NAPA has six times more streams than JOSH...I hope that's not indicative as I didn't really get that.

over in portugal, Calafrio, Tristeza, A minha casa, Ninguém, Eu sei que o amor and ADAMASTOR qualified, except Tristeza they did select the worst ones to the final :kink:

 

Ai Senhor and Lisboa ROBBED

Apago tudo, Medo, Deslocado, Cotovia, Rapsódia da Paz and I Wanna Destroy U are through. this was a tough semi so sad to lose á-tê-xis and Quem foi? here

added a poll!

did NOT see this one coming oops x

I did wonder if that might surprise, it had about six times the Spotify streams of the next nearest song when I checked so clearly the public were into it.

Portugal definitely not a contender now like they might have been with Josh.

The wretched jury 12 points televote 12 points system strikes again, Henka was the best here, the Portuguese public agreed, and the jury gave it 0 so it had no chance of ever winning no matter how many televotes it got.

The winner is okay but far from the best option, accidental much more like.

Henka had unlistenable 0/10 song.

what in the peso pluma is this

The TASTE coming through
