Thank you all for taking some of your time to listen to the song that will represent Portugal at Eurovision this year.

Portugal ❤❤❤ Iolanda ❤❤❤ Grito ❤❤❤

Hi Everyone and thank you for watching 🥰 So how well do we think Portugal will do this year???

This is a soft but powerful performance. I think it will get the audience's attention and make it through to the final. I can't hardly wait to see her perform live on that big stage in Malmö.

Yasu! Fissika we are proud of her 😊 Great song, great choreography, voice.. incredible.. song in Portuguese language and with a Portuguese guitar… and the most important, a very relevant message. Grito means scream in Portuguese. What she does at the end is her grito to get rid of her demons. This song is about fighting with our own mental problems and raises awareness. Everyone: DO THERAPY - It’s a good thing! Ta leme! And congrats for Marina Satti!!! ❤

Divine❤❤❤soo beutiful❤❤

Depois de Salvador e amar pelos dois, depois de Mara e saudade, também Iolanda com Grito quase mágico. Linda esta canção que vos deixo.

❤❤❤❤❤ Beautiful song is Amazing 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀for Portugal🇵🇹

Pure artistic perfection in every aspect. Iolanda's singing so effortless. It's almost too good for the ESC and that's why I'm worried about her ratings with general public. On my list, Iolanda is a tie with Angelina at 1st place.

Thank you Kosti for a lovely comment 😍 The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome the m on you own. I get that is not for everyone and it might be thought to get attention from televote. She is on the 2nd half of the 1 semi is a thought one. If she gets to Final I believe that she will do way better with the juries vote. Explaining the choreography, the dancers are/represent the flames and her demons and at the end she makes them disappear with her scream overcoming the struggle . Grito = scream . Hugs from a Portuguese living in the Mindlads UK ❤❤❤

TOP 5.

very proud!

❤Iolanda🇵🇹👏👏👏👏

wow! so great, one of my favorite song so far, it has to be in the final of course. It's magic and a true enrichment for the contest 🫶

I hope both Portugal and Serbia qualify, because i need both songs in the finals. I hope they won't cancel each other 😢😢

Thanks/Obrigada ❤️🇵🇹

❤

As a Portuguese, I’m super proud of the song we are se ding. She’s singing about her struggle with “inner demons”, represented by the dancers. In the end she fights then and she sings: I’m a flame that still burns. ❤

💥💥

The Sream I heard, I felt The body to carry We continue like this One and the other One and the other One and the other I'm free falling Let me know when you get there I surrender here Little by little Long steps stuck in the match I want to let go of what left me hurt I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns Today I want to prove myself That I can be 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!) I'm every size I still remember when I was little And dreamed first Long steps stuck in the match Today I let go of what left me hurt And I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns Burn Burn Burn I transformed every version of myself And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns

Thank you so much for the review. Wonderful as always. Here is the ANALYSIS and Lyrics, "Grito" (Scream) from Iolanda, Portugal choice: "Grito" (SCREAM), presents a compelling narrative of resilience, transformation, and self-empowerment. The song uses the metaphor of fire to symbolize the undying spirit of the protagonist, emphasizing themes of endurance, healing, and self-realization. Themes like: Vulnerability and Surrender: (sense of awareness and sensitivity, possibly hinting at the anticipation of change or the buildup of emotional energy. Speaks to letting go of control, a leap of faith into the unknown. This surrender isn't about giving up but about embracing the process of transformation). Liberation: "I want to let go of what left me hurt" is a clear desire to release past pains and burdens. This act of letting go is necessary for healing and moving forward. Renewal: for instance in asking the "mother star to make the day rise again" symbolizes a plea for rebirth, a fresh start, and the hope that comes with a new day. Transformation: "I transformed every verse of me" indicates profound personal growth and change. The individual is not the same as before; She has evolved through her experiences. Persistence: The repeated phrase "It still burns" emphasizes ongoing struggle and resilience. Despite challenges, her spirit and determination remain unquenched. Self-assertion: "Today I want to prove myself / That I can be whatever I want" reflects a strong sense of self-belief and ambition. She is determined to define her own identity and future. Forgiveness: "Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer" shows maturity and emotional liberation. Forgiveness is presented as a step towards healing and empowerment. Resilience: The imagery of being a "flame that still burns" throughout the song symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. She continues to shine and endure, regardless of past pains and challenges. Self-empowerment: The journey from vulnerability to strength, from darkness to light, encapsulates the theme of self-empowerment. She actively transforms her pain into power, asserting control over her destiny. Healing and Growth: The song portrays healing as an active and dynamic process. It's about moving through pain, embracing change, and growing stronger in the process. Iolanda's 'Grito' (Scream), is a powerful anthem of perseverance, self-discovery, and empowerment. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and ignite their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope. 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

Portugaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

Grito = Shout

🤍

Άλλο ένα πανέμορφο τραγούδι, επίσης η αλήθεια είναι ότι χρειαζόμασταν και άλλη μπαλάντα γιατί δεν έχουμε πολλές φέτος, πάντως σε αυτό το είδος Πορτογαλία, Σερβία και Γαλλία και οι 3 είναι εξαιρετικές και φωνητικά και σε θέμα ενορχήστρωση, θα θεωρήσω έγκλημα άμα δεν περάσει τελικό όπως και η Σερβία, εγώ απλά θα πω ότι αυτή την στιγμή έχω εκτός δεκάδας Ελλάδα-Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο-Σουηδία-Ολλανδία, νομίζω αυτό τα φανερώνει όλα για την χρονιά που έχουμε.

I have a question. If Iceland withdraws, does that mean there will be only 4 NQ in semifinal 1 since there will be only 14 songs without Iceland, and 10 needs to go through????

I have no idea what to think about this song, sometimes I think it's good and sometimes I think it's bad

I don't think it will perform well on eurovision, but she is a great vocalist and it's a powerful song.
