"Fado... again". Man you have NO clue what Fado is... that's for sure... 😂

[@leonormatias2177]

Fado is not boring, Fado is feelings and history 🇵🇹

iolanda and her inner demons. I can only agree: absolutely beautiful.❤

[@Janecas]

Me too! I listen to it so often and am amazed every time. I find it also absolutely beautiful

Fado May not be your cup of tea but it certainly isn’t boring…. It is raw emotion, Portuguese soul thru and thru, saying it’s boring without understanding it, is an insult to an entire nation!! And this most certainly is not fado… she may have been inspired by it but fado is completely different. I wish people would learn more about it and try to understand where it comes from before giving opinion!!!! By the way, we have many more musical genres besides fado… some very innovative, others more experimental, like Conan a few years back!!! Proud of our artists for always showcasing our roots and being true to ourselves, and singing mostly in Portuguese… we don’t play to win we play with substance , and celebrate our originality and our difference

Portugal won eurovision in 2017with the highest score ever with Salvador Sobral. Many people think Portugal is only fado but fado is not to everybody .

The best part of this backing vocals is that Iolanda sings almost all of them.

“Music is NOT fireworks” 🇵🇹❤️

Yes. This song is pure quality. Wonderful voice, lyrics. She's singing about letting go what hurt her. Dancers symbolize those thoughts/inner demons, therefore they are depersonalized with masks. She neutralizes them with her scream (Grito). Fado is good, modern or classic. Those who don't feel it are at loss. I'm not Portuguese. My country is Ramonda :). Both songs are something special, the lyrics as well as melodies, voices.

I'm Portuguese. A country that lives through music and poetry. Our roots are embedded in music. We had a revolution - on 24th April 1974 -, which brought us out from a dictatorship, and the signal for the beginning of said revolution was two songs playing on the radio, one of which had actually been a Eurovision participant. It initiated the military against the regime. And yet it was all so poetic... a florist in the midst of Lisbon distributed carnations amongst the people, and many of these flowers were placed in the military's gun barrels. It was a peaceful yet effective revolution: poetic. And we ended the dictorship. So we thrive on the pouring of our souls into the world, not worried about being accepted... but instead, pledging to be heard. Our eurovision songs are pure and pure poetry. Impactful, memorable and rarely not of an irreparable elegance. Very proud of Ioland. Such a beautiful song! Such a heartfelt performance! Such a mindblowing voice. And even if biased, I believe it was the most beautiful song this year and that it may end up on the soundtrack of some epic movie. Yes, you do give in to the song! It makes one's blood flow. :-)

[@vamos_a_aprender_espanol]

The faces covered means her feelings, emotions an and demons which she tries to overcome. Because of a iner fire that still burns (ainda arde) ,still burns. GRITO means SCREAM
