[@Nerdchacho]

So many people disagree, but this, for me, was the absolute standout winner for 2017. It stood out from the complexity of every-one else because it is simple, eloquent and emotional. You don't need to understand Portuguese to feel it.. it is mesmerising from beginning to end even when you have no idea what is going on. THAT is what makes a good winner.. it is agnostic to any language, country, culture or timezone.. music speaks volumes when it is constructed like this.

Now in 2022 after falling in love with the portuguese language over the past year, I’ve decided to comeback and listen to it again. I can’t describe how beautiful Salvador’s voice sounds and how the melody just fits perfectly. Tears just keep dripping down my face. Absolutely deserved the win.

I agree that his performance is absolutely beautiful and he has an incredible voice, I remember crying while he was singing when i didn't understand a word about what he was saying. But let's be real, would he have won if people didn't know about his state of health ? Frankly, I'm not sure. As for dancing, it also contributes to showing your singing skills, because it shows that you're enough of a good singer to sing and dance well in the mean time.

In a world full of bling and tech and show off, he stands on a stage in a simple outfit, accompanied by his talent only, and leaves the audience speechless. It went directly to everyone's hearts. The song is also genius. It captivates and brings you in a whole other dimension. It's like the world stops or slows down for a little while. Still coming back to this moment after the show is over.

It felt like his sister knew what to write in order for her amazing brother to win. This is one of those songs where you don't want to say a word otherwise you'll disturb him. Congratulations Salvador and hopefully you'll be well for Lisbon 2018.

If you think about it, Luisa saved Salvador's life in a most poetic way imaginable. After his victory he had to be moved up the queue of those waiting for a heart transplant, and he finally got it. I mean, what a story, I think in 20-30 years time they will make a movie about it.

[@elsasena6151]

simplicity and greatness in it... Great performance by Salvador Sobral. However, let's not forget the composer, Luísa Sobral, a true genius in beautiful and hard worked simplicity

God was Portuguese that evening. What a beautiful language, what a beautiful message, what a beautiful human being. Pure magic.

yeah, this song is really a masterpiece, such a sad and love story for who understands the lyric, also really good compositional wise, and the singer has embodied it very well. really emotional and great song without all the bells and whistles. music at its essence and not being pretentious. very well done Portugal.

I loved this song since the first time I heard it. I thought it couldn't win the contest, just because it's a masterpiece, and not a commercial song. All the contest songs were commercial, except this one. I'm glad he won.

In 2017 i wasn't the fan of this song, but after 5 years i fell in love with this. Now i know why he won, he trully deserved it.

The amount of dislikes this video has only shows how people are so used to trash pop music they can’t appreciate such a masterpiece like this. I am so glad finally real emotional music won Eurovision! Congrats Portugal ! Congrats Salvador ! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@teo_heel]

They watch music and don't listen to it. They don't know how to feel the music.

[@ΕλένηΜπαλτζή]

Its not about trash pop music. This song was just you know not original to many of us. Hungary & Bulgaria included some " never heard before" beats from their countries. Which made them innovational. But this song just sounds like a similar ballad. Just imagine the lyrics in English & there is no difference between that & all the other typical piano- violin ballads. However salvador has a great & smooth voice.

[@G.Giorgio]

@@ΕλένηΜπαλτζή even translated to english this would not be pop music.. Of course he didnt invent something completly new, but thats not what its about is it?

It's also because the singer himself is apparently a douche bag.

A year to remember, a song to remember, music that we need to remember, cause somehow, everything that is good in this world is dying. Music is the only thing that can stop my heart, our hearts, from dying too. Music, like this...

Letra de "Amar pelos Dois"] [Verso 1] Se um dia alguém perguntar por mim Diz que vivi para te amar Antes de ti só existi Cansado e sem nada para dar [Refrão] Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer Eu sei que não se ama sozinho Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender [Refrão] Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer Eu sei que não se ama sozinho Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender [Outro] Se o teu coração não quiser ceder Não sentir paixão, não quiser sofrer Sem fazer planos do que virá depois O meu coração pode amar pelos dois
