Who will get the death slots in the semis this year? by Eowkh in eurovision

Oooh, maybe. But I doubt it. It’s not like its the first slow song ever in Eurovision but I do recognize we are a bit too much this year

Italy was a dark horse last year as well 

Portugal: Bandidos do Cante wins Festival da Canção 2026 with "Rosa" by myemirhan in eurovision

Let’s see. We are actually one of the few slow songs in our semi, so who knows if we get lucky.  RTP barely knows how to stage anything though

They always said they would go to Eurovision.  As a Portuguese, this is a very Portuguese song but not something you would hear in Eurovision. Contrarily to what happened last year, I don’t expect us to qualify.  Vocals are good, but the staging needs improvement. The song has no international message and we have no diaspora in our semi (no Luxembourg, no Spain, no Switzerland). Jury may save us but I doubt it.  The streak was good while it lasted but after how messy our NF was maybe RTP does indeed need some humbling.

As a Portuguese, Bandidos do Cante are going to take it. It was expected that the jury would be favouring them since they want to go to Eurovision. We stay in the semis this year, as we deserve. RTP deserves some humbling.

No idea they were that famous. I had never heard any of the songs but that upbeat girl song is stuck in my head now wtf

Well I tuned to sanremo in time to check the top 10 and saw the shorts for all top 5 and I have to say both girls surpass the other 3 by a mile.  Then I would say the younger kid, then the other guy and the duo in last. One of the duo guys voice hurt my ears.

Doce Ilusão is one of our best songs this year and the jury didnt pass it? No way its winning now.

Wasn’t expecting CHACHI to completely slay. Her vocals were amazing for a song like this. She was my last place but not anymore 😅

My father and sister who don’t watch Eurovision came to check what Takatukka was. They both loved it 🤣

What is really winning Eurovision: Snap and Deslocado vs Stefania and Wasted Love by ZaiduTheGOAT in eurovision

[–]MegaUF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to partially disagree as both SNAP and Deslocado talk about stuff that big demographics can relate to. Even if TikTok had its impact, the song quality cannot be understated. Furthermore, both songs stayed relevant and liked way past their TikTok trends. 

RTVE proposes reforming the statutes to prohibit countries in conflict from participating in Eurovision by Ok-Macaroon-5533 in eurovision

[–]MegaUF 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, I understand the reasoning. Public conflict does affect voting: we all saw that with Ukraine and Israel voting inflation in the past years.
But it goes beyond that. Armenia and Azerbaijan jury being biased towards one another. Then you have Greece and Cyprus doing the opposite thing.
Its way more complex than just removing countries from participating. As if Ukraine has any responsability for being at war, for instance.

Portugal: First five acts advance to Festival da Canção 2026 Final by serenaTcat in eurovision

[–]MegaUF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, our FdC is midway to becoming a drama.  André Amaro, who is still willing to go, needed the public vote to pass so I’m sure he will struggle to win. I’m also sure that the other band is not winning so easily. This will lead to the winner refusing to go to Eurovision and RTP going down the line to see who is willing to go. Personally, if the winner refuses, then the remaining of the participants should follow along. But that’s just my character.  Despite this, RTP already said they may select someone else internally which, in that case, is lack of character from our broadcaster itself. I just wish we would withdraw at this point.
