IOLANDA - GRITO | 1ST SEMIFINAL FESTIVAL DE CANCAO 2024 REACTION!

[@pauluscunha]

This song from Portugal is a masterpiece and is called Grito (shout). In addition to an excellent voice and interpretation, he has divine lyrics. The dancers represent the singer's state of mind as if they were ghosts throughout the performance. At the end comes the cry of supplication, of despair. TOP 1.

Hello, I loved your genuine reaction but also how you committed to understand the artist even though you don’t speak the language. Music is a vehicle to enable that but the listener open mind is also crucial. At the moment, she is a finalist, together with other 5. There will be a second semi final next week, also with amazing music, where other 6 finalists will be chosen. The 12 finalists will perform ar the final first Saturday of March, and the winner, public and jury, will represent Portugal in Eurovision. She is definitely the favourite, but we won’t be sure till the final has a winner

To good for Eurovision

[@EpsVlogs]

Hi, that's very kind of you to say, thank you 🙏 I try to connect the emotions and storyline that they are trying to convey. Even though there is a language barrier, when it comes to music, I feel like it's the universal language because we can understand and relate to each other no matter where we come from. I'm pleased that you've appreciated my reaction. Thanks as well for teaching me the right pronounciation 😊 Muito obrigado 🙏

BEST SONG of the Festival "Iolanda - 'Grito' (Scream)"- MY Analysis and English Lyrics (adaptation) ANALYSIS: "Grito", 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
