Kristian is half-Russian. Ukraine didn't like Russia. ALso this was the only chance Portugal to ever win or else they withdraw forever from the competition and Eurovision doesn't want to LOSE MONEY and fans so they made Portugal to win

[@sashOK-1]

Although I do prefer Portugal to Italy or Sweden or even Bulgaria, I still think that a lot of people voted not for the Portugese song but for his health backstory and because Portugal has not won for 53 years.

[@Claudio.Brito93]

Sash are you serious? who puts a song nº1 on itunes in 15 countries for compassion? in that logic if Russia was alowed to join this year she would've won with 1000 points cuz of wheel chair.. that is a dumb statement.. just make a search about the impact that music is having around the world

[@sashOK-1]

Cláudio Brito well, Claudio, 'Amar Pelos Dois' has become No 1 in 15 countries after the contest, not before, which means that people started downloading the song because it has won the contest and not because it is good. though I agree it is still an achievement - not every eurovision winner was capable of that.

[@mygame5363]

As a Bulgarian im glad Portugal won and i hope my people to be more respectful , Portugal won fare , they had amazing and unique song , and this is SONG contest , not music idol , or the voice or some talant crap , u dont need Summer hit or top 1 charted song with fireworks to win this contest , its all about the performance and i have never seen such atmosphere during Portugal song , they desurve it , music won , see you in Lisbon and stop the hate. Bulgaria did well again , we should be proud , not angry.

[@mygame5363]

Ofc i want my nation to win :) who doesnt , but when u loose u have to repsect the winner and many of my fellow bulgarians were angry in a time when they had to show sportsmanship , we all here in Bulgaria loved Alma from France and noone would have mind if she was the winner, but thats the beauty of this contest , people like what they like and they vote for it. We cant be mad at Salvador , he won tele and jury votes , we are happy that a small nation as Bulgaria made it a bit more interesting at the end :) I even dare to say that we are even more happy to be a guests then a hosts , cuz we dont really have money to host a good Eurovision show , so its all good :)

He is right, we live in a world of instant gratification and that's what fast food songs do, now they are a HIT tomorrow they will be forgotten...but, there is no mistake he won both the Semi-final and Final in both the Jury and TELEVOTE, he also made history with his score, 758 points have never been achieved. Finally REAL MUSIC won and that was about time!!! Thank you for your Song!

[@DimitarVankov]

Time will tell how long people will remember this song. Personally I heard it twice and already forgot it. Sounds like a music from the 60s - 70s. If I was into that music I'll listen to Sinatra instead. Nothing special here, just brings memories to grannies. Won't ever top any radio chart, there's no need to explain why. Don't get me wrong the song sounds good, probably the lyrics are good too. Unfortunately I don't understand portuguese and don't like my granny's music so it's not touching me inside. I can understand the jury vote, but the televote was set for sure. Cheers.

[@DDanV]

Not to compare Salvador with the ones I'm going to mention, just to prove a point: what makes you think music from past decades (or centuries) are less worthy? Ever heard of Beethoven? Mozart? Chopin? They sure weren't from this decade, or century(ies). Billy Holiday? Beatles? Sure enough again, not this decade. All of these are still listened to. But like I said, not to compare them with Salvador, just to prove how big a fallacy you have going there.

[@killboggins]

Dimitar Vankov You don't know much about 60s or 70s music. Go back to your disposable crap in clubs.

[@wldnemesis]

Dimitar Vankov You're placing this song in the wrong decade or better yet, wrong category! This is a classic song that belongs in a hollywood movie...Wonderful composition that has many youtube covers and in several languages...I don't see it being forgotten. The reaction of Artsvik the Armenian singer when Salvador finished singing was beautiful and many others like Alexander Rybak on his instagram said "Yesssss!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ What an amazing voice, and such a worthy winner! I'm very happy now.😍" ... Real Musicians realize what a jewel of a song this is! I understand that this isn't everyone's cup of tea but this reaction happens every year to all winners...Cheers! Go #LISBON2018

[@Mycenaea]

Of course he's making history with the score. They changed the scoring system last year, so from now on all winners will get more points than what the winners got when we used the previous system. He deserved to win, but the score is not an achievement :)

[@deborahtrappe6439]

True words at the end! Well deserved!

[@lindsey0806]

Ila Lapinski It was kind of shady to all the other acts that had fireworks though. I though some of the acts with extravagant stage performances were really exciting but that's just my opinion. Maybe he's not into that kind of stuff and that's okay but many eurovision fans are and trying to tell eurovision artists to not do songs with fire works is like going into a strip club and telling everyone to believe in jesus.

[@flaekon]

People seem to interpret what he said as if he was shitting on Eurovision. I think that he was trying to say that there's often too much focus on the fireworks, and too little focus on the music. I really doubt that he meant that all entries that had fireworks were bad.

[@lindsey0806]

flaekon the thing is that your average eurovision viewers like songs with fireworks and it did feel like a mean remark even if it wasn't intended as one. This year the viewers decided to give something different a chance so I think he should show the eurovision audience a bit more respect. Don't make them regret voting for him.

A lot of people who're hating the song only listen to metal or dubstep or rap or pop or remixes and they actually think those are the best and everything else is shit, but in reality all the good bands right now have some sort of background in classical or jazz (Muse, Imagine Dragons, U2, etc...), the ones with disney background who get their songs from someone else aren't really the best thing... i mean i still like some of the above i mentioned and i listen to them but it's clear how the construction of those songs compared to jazz or classical is just garbage. tbh a song i would listen to frequently isn't the portuguese one but the swedish one, because it gets stuck in your head and it's a fun song, but you can immediately tell it's super repetitive and it's a super generic pop song without anything to distinguish it from the others... catchy and fun isn't a synonym to quality song, which a lot of people haven't realized yet... no one really listens to mozart or beethoven on a daily basis but only illiterate dumbasses would dare say it sucks. the other reason people hate on the portuguese song is because of Salvador Sobral's looks... i don't think i even have to comment about those degenerates. people were telling me on twitter they don't really expect a much refined taste from me since i'm someone who enjoys playing videogames like LoL or Overwatch (who knows why that is in any form related to my taste in music...), but then i noticed people who said that are metal and k-pop fans with their profile pics from Babymetal so... i don't think they really understood their situation... people are just super butthurt, specially the bulgarians, they're outraged because their horrible song didn't win XD

[@danielamedivi1]

I think it is weird how people say that they want different things and embrace diversity but in reality when someone actually presents them real diversity they say, no, Eurovision songs have to follow this formula, don't step out of it. It looks like people don't like to think or be challenged. Like when you give kids a home cooked meal and they say nooooo I wan't to eat MC Donalds every day. And when you confront them with the truth they say, how arrogant. You can like this song or not, but look ! you can actually give an honest intelligent response about it. Congrats!

The lyrics as the singers (Salvador and Luisa) are quite modest, yet so powerful and beautiful. Viva Portugal!

One of the most happier moments of my life

[@beautifultragedy5820]

It's sad how much people are hating on this guy. I think he performed with a lot of emotion and the song was beautiful.

[@joanamoreira8482]

Quem quer saber dos comentários negativos?? Nós ganhámos invejosos!!! O Salvador é genuíno, down to earth e apesar da sua condição consegue emocionar quem o ouve. Representa muito bem o povo de Portugal. PROUD of PORTUGAL

[@michaelscott.]

what a man.. his speech was I N C R E D I B L E he deserves all the awards

[@murielmcdaff3322]

I`d be both happy for Portugal and for Bulgary. But this is so cool, that Salvador`s won. Since the beginning I`ve been sure he`ll win. And now I know that there`re still some people on the Earth who love the REAL music. Love from Russia~(^-^)~

[@coelhocalves92]

So proud he got to sing his song on Netflix's Eurovision.

[@clusterlover]

congrats to Salvador, he is a true angel

[@RoxanaKings]

He's so right, as an outsider to Europe and all countries participating in this contest, what I often see is over the top, highly fabricated, pop performances that are awfully generic. Salvador delivered a lovely song that is such a change from what I normally see and hear in this contest, it was a sigh of relief and that's the reason he won, because even that Bulgarian boy was so mainstream and I thought he was singing a One Direction song.
