Yesss exactly ! As I said in the video. The audio was ok listening. But now watching the performance really changed the game. Because the performance is 100% there. There’s nothing missing

BEST SONG - "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.

Hahah I liked the ….( and a bit Jorge ) 😎😂 I totally feel you on that. And yeah Iolanda was actually the best of the night and very captivating was also Rita… but in my opinion Iolanda can bring the best result in Eurovision for Portugal from those songs
Iolanda: I like the song but i think staging could be enhanced... much more. Love Rita Rocha, com on, she is only 17 years old she delivers on vocals... It's rock on the harp. You should try listening her version form Olivia Rodrigo to The Voice Kids.
Yes Rita was breathtaking because she is so young and she was so confident on stage. About Iolanda hmm, I really love the staving even if it stays like this. It’s perfect
Finally got caught up on the all the lives from Saturday night and wow Iolanda🤯 It was absolutely incredible🔥 She was my favourite originally but after that performance it’s now by a distance and absolutely has to go to Eurovision💯 Like expected Georgi Portugal did Portugal things sadly with some of them qualifiers🤷♂️ Noble and Perpetua really… Remember back to your previous vid i commented my worries Bispo would just miss out but not due to them two above🤣 When i seen the results without performances i was shocked Mela missed out but tbf after seeing the live i can at least understand why in the end. However my biggest grower of the night was surprisingly Nena she was probably my second just ahead of Rita.
Yessss very true ! You commented on the previous video about Bispo and you were right. And I am a bit sad he is not in the finals. But I can also understand why. I am still so stunned by Iolanda. Just wow !!! For now without seeing the second semi I can say that the best result for Portugal will be reached with Iolanda. I can’t wait to see also Filipa … I really like her song too
@@georgikanevESC i was near in disbelief when i heard Noble won the runoff televote to get in over Bispo tho. No Maka x Ana Maria is my favourite in SF2 but looking at their odds i shouldn’t even expect them to qualify sadly. I’m also a big fan of the other Rita in that Semi however after Iolanda’s performance whoever wants to challenge her has a serious task on their hands!
First of all, I was SUPER impressed by this national !!! The quality of almost all participants is AMAZING and the production was awesome, very very well done Portugal !!! But I am also sad that Casa Portuguesa is not through. You and me were one of the few that liked that song when it came out I think. But the staging was very meh and weird with the hay and the woman walking around all the time, it didn't transmit enough. I liked Nena very much, very sweet and very very well vocally, but not for ESC. You remember that I wrote that Mela would only work if the staging would be great? Well the staging was very weird with those people under blue fabric and then suddenly flowers??? And vocally she was not good live at all, no. And then, Iolanda, when I first heard it, I liked it, thought it would be a good option but was not extremely impressed. Yesterday, she was just PERFECT. Ready for ESC, the best of the night. I love that song now, very very good, winner for now in my opinion. I especially like that she is the first singer I have heard in ESC this year that does "high" notes that are alt, not soprano, and 100% clear and perfect, not shouty trying to be impressive, just controlled steady half high, perfect ! Not a fan of Joao and Rita was a bit boring to be honest, although I also like the chorus, and she is obviously a very very good musician.
I FULLY agree on Iolandas comments from you. Those highs were exactly how you described them. Clean and pleasant to hear watching from tv. She is veeery strong live and for me had also the best concept on stage. From this semi final 1 I think iolanda was the only one who is ready for Eurovision and gonna achieve good place. I could see the song qualifying for sure in the final like that right ? About casa Portuguesa yeah :/ it was a bit weird to see the staging :/ pity because the audio till now everyone I heard it was very catchy. About Agua … I was devastated … because she reaaaally didn’t sing good live :/
@@georgikanevESC his performance (himself) on stage was Ok, very laid back natural but for me just the scenario behind was a poor one they could have done something more realistic to describe a real portuguese house
My favorite is Iolanda but hands down to Rita Rocha... She is 16... Three years ago she entered in The Voice Kids with 13 (still don't understand how she didn't win...) Already writing her songs... She plays the harp as you can see here in her blind audition. ruclips.net/video/eksHPO5uSDs/видео.htmlfeature=shared
But literally hands down to Rita and I am very glad she made it to the final. Even if she doesn’t win and it’s Iolanda , the competition is very strong
@@georgikanevESC actually in semi final this (50/50) is applicable for top 5 picks. The 6th song selected is actually televote only in a separate new round. :)
The performance elevated the song so much from the studio version. The visual experience really complemented the song's lyrics and mood.
Yesss exactly ! As I said in the video. The audio was ok listening. But now watching the performance really changed the game. Because the performance is 100% there. There’s nothing missing
Hii, here's the english lyrics of "grito" by Iolanda :)
Grito ("Scream")
[1st verse]
(I) heard, (I) felt, the body getting heavy
(We) continue on like this
one and another, one and another, one and another
I'm free-falling
I'll tell (you) when i get there
I surrender myself here
little by little
[pre-chorus]
long strides, stuck in the starting line
(I) want to let go of what left me wounded
(I) ask the mother star to make the day
rise again
[chorus]
(I) transformed every verse of myself
and give in to courage
that still burns, still burns
the light hits the chest and opens up
I'm the flame that still burns, still burns
still burns!
[2nd verse]
today I want to prove myself
that I can be whatever i want
gather together those who love me at a table
forgive the ones who wanted to see me suffer
(you/they) can't fool me! (no, no)
I'm every size
I still remember when I was little
I dreamed first
[pre-chorus]
long strides, stuck in the starting line
today I let go of what left me wounded
and ask the mother star to make the day
rise again
[chorus]
(I) transformed every verse of myself
and give in to courage
that still burns, still burns
the light hits the chest and opens up
I'm the flame that still burns, still burns
still burns!
[bridge]
I'm the flame that still burns, still burns (x2)
burns (x3)
[chorus]
(I) transformed every verse of myself
and give in to courage
that still burns, still burns
the light hits the chest and opens up
I'm the flame that still burns, still burns
still burns!
My favorite song❤Grito
Well I really think that iolanda is winning …. After watching the second semi I am pretty sure

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
Iolanda is still my favorite of the season (and Annalisa) (and a bit Jorge) and am sooooo relieved she is amazing live. Hoping for the best!
