LYRICS Iolanda - "Grito" (Scream) [Verse 1] I heard, (I) felt, the body charging We continued like that, one and another, one and another, one and another I'm free falling, I'll let you know when I get there I surrender here, little by little [Pre-Chorus] Long strides, chained in the (race) start I want to let go of what left me hurt I ask the mother star to make the day rise again [Chorus] (It still [Ainda] burns [Arde]) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns) And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns Hit the light on your chest and opens it I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns [Verse 2] Today I want to prove myself That I can be whatever I want (Whatever I want) Bring together those who love me at a table Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer They don't fool me (No, no) I'm every size (I am) I still remember when I was little (I was) the one who dreamed first [Pre-Chorus] Long strides, chained in the (race) start I want to let go of what left me hurt And I ask the mother star to make the day rise again [Chorus] (It still burns) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns) And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns I am a flame that still burns, still burns I am a flame that still burns, still burns Burn, burn, burn I transformed every verse of me And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns

Thank you for your lovely comment. The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome them on you own - Self empowerment. Explaining the choreography, the dancers are/represent the struggles and her demons and at the end she makes them disappear with her scream overcoming the struggle . Grito = scream . The white is to represent the flames, the pure white light the that emanates from the soft candle flames and the purity of the rebirth Love from Portugal

As lágrimas emergem, o corpo treme alma eleva-se aos céus. Anjos de Deus. Musica celestial. São anjos do céu a cantar por Deus. Para união emocional. A alma genuína e celestial. PURA E INCOMPARÁVEL. A VERDADEIRA VENCEDORA! As almas cantam contigo, as nossas almas estão contigo na tua luta e vitória. Como as nossas. GRATIDÃO POR ESTA BENÇÃO CELESTIAL 🤍🙏✨ Conquistadora das nossas almas e VENCERÁS. JÁ ÉS VENCEDORA! IRÃO VENCER PELA VOSSA AUTENTICIDADE PURA A FRAGILIDADE DA VOSSA FORÇA, CHAMA DA VERDADE E EMOÇÃO, OU SEJA MÚSICA DOS CÉUS. VOCÊS CRIARAM ALGO ÚNICO E JAMAIS VISTO. DIVINAL.

Thanks from Portugal 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 ❤

Well you need to look at the odds and then you see who's going to win, they usually predict the right winner. Also they introduce a rule a few years ago where if you win, you don't have the obligation to host the event. There are countries who are eager to host the event, particularly the older ones like Spain, France, Belgium and Switzerland. So maybe in the next few years, it might go to one of them, unfortunately because there so many more countries who are trying for so many years and still they come up short to win their 1st, while others win multiple times and yet you visit the same venues.

The best song! Pure art!

Thank you ❤ Hug from Portugal

See these two analysis: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdNid8t1zbCYXWw.htmlsi=OGBC1F-EkaFAQKxN The other songs of the other countries, are commercial easy -to-eat sang in majority in English. We Portugal prefer the quality, the authenticity, the beauty and the feelings.

Iolanda scream I heard, I felt My body charging We proceed this way One and the other One and the other One and the other I’m free-fall I’ll tell you when I get there Here I surrender myself Little by little Big steps, stuck at departure I want to let go of what wounded me I ask mother star to make the day Be born again (still burns) I changed each verse of myself (still burns) And surrendered myself to courage That still burns Still burns The light hits my chest and opens up I’m a flame that still burns Still burns Still burns Today I want to prove to myself That I can be whatever I want To gather those who wish me well around a table To forgive those who wanted to see me suffer They won’t fool me! (No! No!) I’m all dimensions (I am) I still remember when I was little And used to dream first of all Big steps, stuck at departure I want to let go of what wounded me I ask mother star to make the day Be born again (still burns) I changed each verse of myself (still burns) And surrendered to courage That still burns Still burns The light hits my chest and opens up I’m a flame that still burns Still burns Still burns I’m a flame that still burns Still burns I’m a flame that still burns Still burns Burns Burns Burns I changed each verse of myself And surrendered myself to courage That still burns The light hits my chest and opens up I’m a flame that still burns Still burns Still burns

Answering your question... No, they don't. People only vote for silly random songs nowadays (with a few exceptions, of course).
