Well what do you think? Vote!

I had to vote "Yes". I know its great to send a song that represents your country, but sometimes you have to think about broadening your appeal and singing in english would do that. Its not like we dont have portuguese bands who sing in english anyway, so might as well give it a try. I'm not saying sing in english every year, but it wouldnt hurt to give it a try once in a while

portuguese please ^_^ it is borring when most of the countries sing in english!

Probably. Maybe they should ask Ana Free to do it next year :lol:

 

I really like Flor-de-Lis' song this year though. I think if it was in Spanish it would've been a big hit in south America, it's very Julieta Venegas

Nooo! Keep singing in Portuguese! ^_^ It's such a nice language and there's no need for them to sing in English because they're doing quite well these days. ^_^

I wouldnt say not being top10 since 1996 is doing well these days :P

Still, you've qualified twice in a row, especially with no neighborly help this year, which is quite good. ^_^

Probably. Maybe they should ask Ana Free to do it next year :lol:

:wub: I would love Ana Free to do it!

She'd flop on her ass, its not eurovision-like at all :P

And I think she thinks she's better than Eurovision. She reckons she's all hip and trendy giving interviews to all the Bairro Alto magazines.

:lol:

 

One hit song and you're all that :P

I can see them recording a Spanish version actually...

 

Besa el mar, el viento, la luna

Soy un sol en nieve nuda

En todas las rutas de amor

Seras mio y seré tuya

 

I hope they do an English version too. Once they win of couse :kink:

 

Anyway, for Eurovision, they should stay singing in Portuguese, it's a beautiful language, and if the only time they tried English, they failed miserably (2004, Amar by 2B :kink:)

I agree, stay in Portugese ... I love when countries sing in their own language (e.g. Estonia this year just beautiful). Maybe a mix of both if you think it'll help, but personally I don't think it will.

I'd really love for the Irish entries to be in Irish. But the answer is always "We sent a song in Irish and it didn't do well...". True, but we also sent the rest in English and haven't been doing too well of late. Time to take some risks!

To be fair, it was in the 70s :kink: (And actually it was IMMENSE :wub:)

WTF are you talking about??

 

I didnt vote because the question is so stupid, damn you are so pathetic........

 

Why making a spanish version if its similar with Portuguese?? I never saw a portuguese version of any spanish song,and why we always have to understand others instead others understanding us??

 

And why are the portuguese so stupid by not giving value to their own language? portuguese is the 5th language in the world and 3rd in occident, more than french,german and italian,so why we have to sing in English?? are you drunk or take drugs??

 

This kind of thinking irritates me,specially when cames from portuguese themselfs.

The Spanish version was my/Ashley's suggestion, to get more success in Latin America. But you shouldn't do it for Eurovision.

NO! Portuguese is so beautiful. This and last year's entries make the list of my favourite songs of all time!

 

Do not lose your colour, no matter if it's destined to fail or not, it's your entry, be proud. :wub:

dont you know that Portuguese is also in Latin America?? and they understand Portuguese there,more than in spain.

Well yes I know that :rolleyes: But much more of Latin America speaks Spanish than they do Portugese (only one country).
