🇵🇹 Nicolas Alves “Anos 70” REACTION | Portugal | JESC 2022

[@johnmoynahan874]

And Portugal does it again. Always does their own thing. So admirable!! What an original voice for a such a young man. However, the clip of the live rehearsal does come across as a little shouty. If he could just tone it down a little bit, a tiny bit, this would definitely be in my top 5. Totally refreshing. Well done Portugal 🇵🇹 👏👏👏

Love this sound, so hope he does well!

I wasn't really feeling this song before the contest, but I was won over by his live performance. And it fits very well indeed in Portugal's niche in Eurovision, which I'm totally into.

My fave track of the year! Go Portugal!

[@Shellydaliie]

I think this is really good, definitely imo underrated by the fandom (usually last-13th in peoples ranks). In the music video, the vocal in the chorus is more laid back but the live vocal, he's pushing the raspiness more. Its certainly one of the more unique and interesting entries of the year.

Hi Tom! I like this song and Nicolas is a talented boy, he came second in The Voice Kids Portugal this year. And you know us, if we like it and identify with our song, that's all good! The lyrics are about being true to yourself even if people doesn't understand it. He is saying that he wish he was born in the 70s, and that he enjoys old school music. I guess he means the 90s music. Take care, beijinhos 😊

I feel like this song is so underrated =D

[@ESCTom]

Yea I was expecting something totally blah cos I hadn’t heard a thing about it. I think it could be a little dark horse

[@linn469]

one of my favorites, but the live vocal did worry me. Hope it will be more controlled in the show tomorrow!

Hey, just a heads-up, obviously there's no way people should expect you to know this beforehand, so no need to fret about it, but you have "Años 70" on the title of your video, and it should be just "Anos 70", without the tilde (~). The tilde on the letter "n" is a Spanish-thing only, it doesn't exist in Portuguese. In Portuguese, we only use the tilde on the letters "a" or "o" (like, for instance, the word "canção" = song; or, in the plural form, "canções"). Again, nothing too important, but god knows how Portuguese people can fret over the littlest confusion about Portugal and Spain. I guess the same as when people pick anything Irish and call it "British". :P Anyway, glad you liked the song. :) He had such a great performance, too. Best result for Portugal in JESC, woot! (and Ireland, too!)

ah interesting, i didnt know that. ill change it now

[@Marina.Menezes]

I'm constantly changing my mind on this one. I get annoyed by the raspy voice thing, but the lyrics are good. I do like the fact the 4 boys in the competition are quite diffrent from each other!

[@rickhunter3930]

Was our favorite of JESC 2022. Should have done better.

[@winterv3vo]

his vocals on stage is much more 'rocky' and i love it!
