REACTING TO IOLANDA - GRITO | PORTUGAL EUROVISION 2024

[@pierrebesnier4320]

When she utters her scream (Grito), the dancers (who represent her fears, her anger, her anguish) arch their backs and seem to be overcome, they die and she finds herself alone, strong.

[@Janecas]

She fought a lot to get where she is today. She is a queen . I love the song and her voice is amazing

[@Janaofficialmusic]

The voice is incredible. She did an amazing job. The song touched my heart🤍

Just thinking that she went to "The Voice" a few years ago and no one turned their chair for her and nowadays she will represent Portugal with her voice with something that she created herself

[@Janaofficialmusic]

Oh really? Which the voice did she go to? Portugal one?🤍

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

[@vipergti8047]

Thanks for the Review and interest in Portuguese culture. Hug from Portugal. I would say that this song has a little bit of everything that is Portuguese. As for the styles, it has some clear "Fado", Epic and also some "Hip Hop" and modern choreography, but this is more than anything an Anthem of perseverance, self-discovery and resilience. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and awaken their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope. Here is the ANALYSIS of Iolanda's "Grito", Portugal's choice: "Grito", presents a compelling narrative of resilience, transformation and self-empowerment. The song uses the metaphor of fire to symbolize the protagonist's eternal spirit, emphasizing themes of endurance, healing, and self-realization. Topics such as: Vulnerability and surrender: (sense of awareness and sensitivity, possibly suggesting the anticipation of change or the accumulation of emotional energy. It speaks of relinquishing control, a leap of faith into the unknown. This surrender is not about giving up, but about embracing the process of transformation.) Liberation: "I want to get rid of what hurt me" is a clear desire to release past pains and burdens. This act of letting go is necessary for healing and advancement. Renewal: For example, asking the "mother star to make the day rise again" symbolizes a call to rebirth, a new beginning, and the hope that comes with a new day. Transformation: "I have transformed every verse of mine" indicates profound personal growth and change. The individual is not the same as before; She evolved through her experiences. Persistence: The oft-repeated phrase "It still burns" emphasizes continued struggle and resilience. Despite the challenges, his spirit and determination remain unwavering. Self-affirmation: "Today I want to prove my worth / That I can be anything I want to be" reflects a strong sense of self-confidence and ambition. She is determined to define her own identity and future. Forgiveness: "Forgiving those who wanted to see me suffer" shows maturity and emotional liberation. Forgiveness is presented as a step toward healing and empowerment. Resilience: The image of being a "flame that still burns" throughout the song symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. It continues to shine and endure, regardless of the pains and challenges of the past. Self-empowerment: The journey from vulnerability to strength, from darkness to light, sums up the theme of self-empowerment. She actively transforms her pain into power, taking control over her destiny. Healing and Growth: The song portrays healing as an active and dynamic process. It's about overcoming pain, embracing change, and getting 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 awaken their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope.

Masterpiece, in facto.. twice a Masterpiece..The musica..and your sensibility 😊❤

[@martagomes4310]

Thank you Jana for lovely your comment 😍 The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome the m on you own. I get that is not for everyone and it might be thought to get attention from televote. Explaining the choreography, the dancers are/represent the flames and her demons and at the end she makes them disappear with her scream overcoming the struggle . Grito = scream . The white is to represent the flames, the pure white light the that emanates from the soft candle flames. Hugs from a Portuguese living in the Mindlads UK ❤❤❤

That’s not a guitar, it’s the sound of the Portuguese ukulele. Loved your commentary.

[@Janaofficialmusic]

Sorry I wasn’t sure!! What’s the name of the instrument? ☺️ much love 🥰

[@vitorjuvenal9442]

@@Janaofficialmusic Cavaquinho.

[@RuiSilva-rw6vl]

It's not the "Portuguese ukulele", is the other way around. The Ukulele is inspired by the Cavaquinho which was taken by portuguese immigrants to Hawaii. And it's a type of guitar, like a small guitar.

The Scream I heard, I felt The body to carry We continue like this One and the other One and the other One and the other I'm free falling Let me know when you get there I surrender here Little by little Long steps stuck in the match I want to let go of what left me hurt I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns Today I want to prove myself That I can be 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!) I'm every size I still remember when I was little And dreamed first Long steps stuck in the match Today I let go of what left me hurt And I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns Burn Burn Burn I transformed every version of myself And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns
