This was the first Luis Fonsi I've ever heard, back in 2008. EsfSuL-VFBw P.S. A worldwide crossover hit for David Bisbal is long overdue.

Well against the tide of opinions around here, I love this. It's beautiful, it's heartfelt, it's timeless, it's Portugal staying true to itself and not being a sell-out to generic ESC music just to appease the pundits, it's a singer being who he is and not some plastic popstar. I'm very proud of Portugal this year, whether it flops or not and haters gonna hate.

Great tune closing CD1 of NOW 58

Márcia and Celina da Piedade are the only ones who chose to perform their songs themselves whereas the others chose a singer. - The language rule was cut out, with the songwriters having the choice of writing the song in any language. However only three of them decided to do a song in English with the others still choosing Portuguese. However some of them have claimed that they are preparing an English version as well. - Rui Drummond represented Portugal in ESC 2005 as part of 2B. He won The Voice Portugal 2014. - Deolinda Kinzimba won The Voice Portugal 2015. - Fernando Daniel won The Voice Portugal 2016. His blind audition singing Adele's When We Were Young went viral worldwide and even featured in Buzzfeed USA. - David Gomes and Pedro Gonçalves also took part in The Voice Portugal 2016. - Kika Cardoso, one of the members of Viva La Diva, won X-Factor Portugal in 2014.
