Let's REACT to PORTUGAL in EUROVISION 2024!! 🇵🇹| iolanda - Grito | LIVE PERFORMANCE | REACTION

[@Pollaar]

Portugal is my top 1, is a masterpiece of this year

[@joaosaraiva9425]

Proud of our roots, culture and language, this music represents Portugal very well

[@sphdesign5392]

I cried for whole 3 minutes!

[@kevanmcdougallmph]

It genuinely baffles me how so many are quick to say this is a "boring ballad" that "goes nowhere". It absolutely has dynamism, nuance, and incredibly strong storytelling.

Obra Prima 🤍 Masterpiece

[@miguelcaldeira2414]

Just trying to get the meaning out there :) Thank you and Love from Portugal. 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

Portugal brings something special again. 💁🏼‍♀️

[@esc.norway]

Agreed!

[@ruigoncalves8908]

I listened the song on the radio but I didn't know that it's the portuguese song for eurovision this year but the true is that it's very catchy and one of the best sound on the radio recently here in Portugal.

[@EstelaAfonso-ws9vd]

Go check the lyrics if you haven't yet. The song is about a woman's inner flame and capacity for rebirth, in the face of hardships. I LOVE this song so much. Love at first listening. I hope we'll do well. Regardless of everything, this is a winner to me.

[@vmpcfernandes]

Portugal has the best song this year, hands down. Light years ahead of anyone else.

i am so so proud to see this reaction thank's so much... iolanda....

[@esc.norway]

[@thestepfordexpress]

The song is About struggling with her mentallity (from what i’ve read). And also the song name «Grito» means «Scream» in Portuguese. So the BEAUTIFUL scream at the end is just (from my understanding for it) dealing with the emotions and just letting it go by just screaming.

[@esc.norway]

Thank you so much for enlightening us, appreciate it!

[@carlosnogueira4128]

Thanks for your video and love for this song. As a Portuguese myself, I’m very proud of this entry. High quality song and performance! But I must say I’m worried with this going through to the final if the voting on the semi is only public voting (?) and considering the other countries on semi 1 which also have strong songs and are tendentiously more “disconnected” (geographically & culturally) from Portugal. Pity we can’t even count with your vote due to the fact Norway is on semi 2 😝😅

[@kevanmcdougallmph]

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 what fantastic lyrics

(Não!) Eu sou todo o tamanho Ainda lembro quando era pequena E sonhava primeiro Passos largos presa na partida Hoje eu largo aquilo que me deixou ferida E peço à estrela mãe que faça o dia Nascer de novo Transformei cada verso de mim E entregue à coragem Que ainda arde Ainda arde Bate a luz no peito e abre Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Ainda arde Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Arde Arde Arde Transformei cada verѕo de mim E entregue à coragem Que ainda arde Ainda arde Bate a luz no peito e abre Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Ainda аrde ************************************ Scream Iolanda I heard it, I felt it The body carrying We go on like this One and other One and another One and another I'm free falling I'll let you know when I get there I give myself up here Little by little Wide steps caught in the departure I want to let go of what hurt me I ask the star mother to make the day Be born again I've transformed every verse of myself And surrender to the courage That still burns Still burning The light hits my chest and it opens I'm a flame that still burns Still burning Still burning Today I want to prove to myself That I can be whatever I want Bring those who love me together at a table Forgive those who wanted to see me suffer I can't be fooled!

[@achnix3167]

I find it a little difficult to follow this track... There arent really those moments that i really enjoy, while overall the song and performance are pleasant. Same with the voice, its very good but i cannot fully connect with her or her perfomance, the repetitiveness annoys me and makes the song feel long 🤷‍♂️ solid entry though

[@RuiM.L.Azevedo]

why wasting time with things you do not like? why "bombarding" such a nice space, with two amazing hosts, with negative comments? no one forces you to listen to songs you do not enjoy! Use your time in search for things that that make you happy, that are appealing to your soul, that makes you feel like a valid and credible human being... your comment only shows your bitterness,sour little soul, bitterness! Did you know that there is a war in Europe, Gaza strip conflict, and loads of people starving in this world? I believe that you need to "Gritar/ to scream" your lungs out and start working your demons! Shame on you!
