Vocal Coach Reacts to Iolanda 'Grito' Portugal Eurovision 2024

[@grantknapper7518]

I love this song! It’s disgustingly underrated, really hope it qualifies.

[@KevinChantal]

Unfortunately it has no winning chances because the ESC audience doesnt appreciate songs and voices like this enough. But it is perfect. Her voice, the lyrics and all of that in the beautiful portuguese language. That's the kind of entry I wish from everybody but most of the entries are boring english pop songs (including my country Germany).

[@safy907]

Plus, some of them are ok in the studio version, but terrible live.

[@rallealyt]

as a portuguese, i prefer the portuguese culture to be appreciated by a small minority that really appreciates it, than by the masses who consume it as popcorn and then go the next thing.

[@jordywoody14]

Portugal won in 2017 with a ballad remember

[@josecoelho6961]

So true ❤ Unfortunately eurovision has sumed to that easy pop songs, no quality what so ever

[@kierannelson2581]

Wait, so Kalush Orchestra and Måneskin are boring English pop songs?

[@lotus8847]

Its so beautiful. I couldnt be more proud as a Portuguese.

I already know she is gonna like it. Iolanda might not be a winner at Eurovision but she is an unbelievable artist! Also the lyrics are pure poetry, the translation don't do any justice, just believe me when I say this.

[@andrerodrigues2877]

Might not be the best song, but I honestly think she is the best singer.There are not many amazing voices on this eurovision

[@TristanLaurens]

There's something so eerie in this song. It sounds very unusual. The instrumentation is simple, the singer's voice is gorgeous with that roughness in the timber. Also it's in the national language which is always a plus for me. It's like there's pain or despair in her voice. It's beautiful.

[@cristinaflores2411]

This song has its roots in fado, traditional Portuguese music.

[@lopazio]

Pain and Despair is part of Fado, a Portuguese style of singing. That is why this song has that painful feeling although it's not a Fado song, it's Fado inspired for sure.

[@Pektrus]

Hi Georgina. Great fan of yours.Waiting long for this reaction. I think this is the best of Portugal's songs since Salvador Sobral. Once again we are really underrated at the odds. This is Master peace, it has soul, great music, lyrics, voice, performance, staging. This is perfection. I don't care if we'll not qualify at the SF. I'm really proud of our representation. It's true, honest and we are out of the standards. Be different, Be unique.

[@markr002]

The best song in the contest imho. Looking forward to this one.

[@sandrasoares2284]

Marvellous. I get goosebumps each time I listen to this song.

[@Rafael-br9dd]

I really hope you like this, we are soooo proud of Iolanda 😊

[@k.petrovic6128]

Really brilliant! So much stands out here... I've had Grito on repeat since the studio version, and I was far from imagining that so much magic could be added with FdC and even more will come in May.❤

[@Eurofan_Miguel]

Iolanda is just perfect ❤

[@rampinguy3857]

this is my number 4 of all 37 and i think it's heavily underrated by most other people

[@asmrcarousel]

It’s sad but also very inspiring, it’s about overcoming depression and the feeling of being alone and defeated, and coming back to life. She says “sou chama que ainda arde” which means the inner flame is still burning.

[@barbarasantos8771]

I think this song is truly underrated. It doesn't have any Eurovision vibes, but neither Amar Pelos Dois, and Portugal won in 2017 with a beautiful ballad! I am truly excited with this year's edition 🙂

[@davidcatasciavone1109]

Exactly! I don't get why are people going so crazy about those Kaarija wannabes🤨Portugal and Serbia should be top at the odds!

Just Portugal 🇵🇹 again in there best! Glad to have Portugal in Eurovision. Always they know how to bring art to the show. I love it. Dark horse of this year. Jury and public will love it. So diferent of another countries. My winner this year.

We Portuguese have a sadness in our DNA; we even have a word, that doesn't exist in english, that conveys the sadness of missing someone: 'saudade'.

Portugal & Serbia are my favourites. So breathtaking songs and performances, and beautiful & emotional voices💚💚

[@NunoAnael]

the meaning of this song_ she free herself from suffering, learned the lessons of life and stopped being afraid, feeling free- its a song with a touch of fado, but positive and full of hope. :) Big hug from Lisboa

[@martagomes4310]

Thank you Georgina for your lovely comment. I have been anxiously wating for it because I appreciate your honesty even when you do not like what I do like !!! The song is about mental struggles and fighting to overcome them on you own - Self empowerment. I get that is not for everyone and it might be thought to get the attention on the televote. She is on the 2nd half of the 1st semi final what is a difficult one. But if she gets to the Final I believe that she will get the love and attention of the juries. Explaining the choreography, the dancers are/represent the struggles 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. Love from a Portuguese in the Midlands

[@MilenaSantos-h6p]

Obrigada for your great,honest and right opinion! I love the Portuguese song and I hope Iolanda gets the appreciation and points that she deserves! She is a fantastic singer and has the quality of a winner even then is so low in the Odds! Good luck Portugal 🇵🇹❤

[@vervideosgiros1156]

Her name is Iolanda; not Lolanda! It's like Yolanda, but we write the name with "i". There's no "y" in Portuguese (nor "k" and "w").

Another impressive riff is France Slimane’s vocal from his Croatian performance. He sings acapella near the end of the song and holds the most impressive note standing ten feet back from the mic….WoW!!

[@anacapucho714]

Bravo Iolanda. Pura Arte. Sem precedentes. A autenticidade da sua voz, mensagem e emoção. A história da sua luta é compatível com o "grito" que todos temos no olhar. Força . Foco . Fé. Digna de louvor. Obra prima de arte emocional, determinação e coragem. Sabedoria emocional e resiliência. Divino e celestial. ARTE GENUÍNA E PURA. Conquista a nossa alma. Reacende a nossa chama. Digna de louvor, admiração. Exímia! VENCEDORA E CONQUISTADORA 🤍🔥🙏 jamais desistir ou resignar. Tudo é possível! Pois TU EXISTES E CRIASTE UNICIDADE.

[@module79l28]

I know that it must be tricky to figure out the first letter of her name but it's not an "L", it's an "i" (iolanda, not Lolanda).

[@porreiraxo]

I think the lyrics' translation might not make what it really is the background of it. In a nutshell, it relates with her your demons in life and her mental struggles which is represented by the dancers - in some parts of the music they follow her movements or she follow theirs like a unison until she releases the "grito" (scream) that make them go away in the end. Tbh I think that we (I'm Portuguese) will struggle to be in the final which, I think, it's a pity because as a music and performance, this is great in my opinion.

This song is a masterpiece. How is it possible that they are not giving it its due value?

[@ruiddd956]

They who? The bettors? Because the bulk of the votes come from almost children and musical immatures. Therefore, there is no musical beauty that can overcome this degradation of Eurovision

[@susanagoncalves7358]

As most songs Portugal ever sent to Eurovision, this one feels misplaced. It’s a beautiful sadness that Eurovision voters are not read to appreciate. This all about feeling rather than showing off.
