Salvador Sobral 2017 was the only Portuguese to win with the highest judge and public vote to date. Salvador is the record holder for the highest scorer in Eurovision.
Portugal is very much undervalued in Eurovision. Some of the songs that go to contest are so much good but they end up sometimes not make it to the top 10. And some of the ones that failed to qualify actually got pretty closed.
HI there are some Portuguese world renowned 1 Cristiano Ronaldo 2-Fernando Pessoa (Writer) 3-Amalia Rodrigues ( Fado Singer) 4-Jose Saramago ( writer Nobel prize Literature in 1998) 5-Sara Sampaio ( top Model- Victoria Secret) 6 -Rosa Mota ( runner marathonist) 7-Maria Joao Pires ( pianist) 8 - Carmen Miranda ( actress/singer) and there are more, probably don't know because there never interested for History of Portugal
@@beansx21 In relation to Music made in Portugal and by Portuguese people, I strongly recommend at least these names: Ana Moura, Dino de Santiago, Moonspell, Richie Campbell, Carminho, Calema. Blanko.
@@beansx21 We also have: Nuno Bettencourt (world famous Guitarist) Daniela Melchior (Actress) Joaquim de Almeida (Actor) Alba Baptista (Actress) (Chris Evans girlfriend)
There is an important political element, Portugal till 74 was a dictatorial regime, the last one in Western Europe at the time, and believe this influenced the voting.
and a pivotal moment in their history used their performance in 1974 to trigger the revolution.. The next year you saw nearly every portuguese colony gain it's independence.
@@ZakhadWOW indeed. And for many years it would not be possible for Portugal to host Eurovision. The country was busy catching up to the rest of the world after being under the longest dictatorial regime in Europe.
I've been following this channel for a long time, especially for the reactions to Lady Gaga. Now to see a reaction to a song from my country is a privilege. Thank you! Hugs from Portugal!
Did you ever saw a movie about the life of Jesus where the actor was called of Hot Jesus? American film, Portuguese actor, his name is Diogo Morgado and he was well known at the time . Portuguese traditions are Fado , Amália Rodrigues was worldly known, never heard of Mariza ?
Portugal for a long time cared more about the contest in the country (Festival da Canção) and not Eurovision.. only last few years they started caring more I think.. always still doing their own thing ;) All these songs are big hits in Portugal , everybody knows ;)
There are some singers with portuguese roots like Nelly Furtano, Shawn Mendes and some actors etc... But typical portuguese is "Pimba" like on 2014 and "Fado" , if you check the 2018 eurovision, like the flag parade, they got to show some of that kind of music.
Really? No other famous Portuguese? One at least you should know. The United Nations general Secretary, António Guterres is from Portugal. It’s “only” the n1 diplomatic and political position in the world…
I cold go on, but I just tell you one more. Fernando Magalhães, or as sometimes English speakers say: Magellan. Five hundred years ago, Ferdinand Magellan began a historic journey to circumnavigate the globe. Today a lot of things in science is name after him.
@@DontPanickthat's what he said about himself. But he also said in his dairy "they will never find my origin" Recente Dna tests says he was sefardi. Queen of spain calls him Portuguese in one of her letters. He married a Portuguese noble woman, something completly impossible to do in Portugal at that time if he was who he said he was, a non noble man from Genova from a family of traders of fabrics 🤷♂️
Here is a list of some of the most famous and influential Portuguese people abroad in various fields: Writers José Saramago: Nobel Prize in Literature, known for works like "Blindness"1. Fernando Pessoa: Poet and writer, famous for his multifaceted work and heteronyms. Artists Joana Vasconcelos: Contemporary artist whose works are exhibited in museums and galleries around the world2. Paula Rego: Painter and visual artist, known for her expressive and narrative works1. Actors Joaquim de Almeida: Actor who has appeared in international films and series such as “Desperado” and "24"1. Daniela Ruah: Actress known for her role in the series "NCIS: Los Angeles"1. Singers Amália Rodrigues: The diva of fado, who brought traditional Portuguese music to international stages. Salvador Sobral: Winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Amar pelos Dois"1. Others Cristiano Ronaldo: One of the best football players in the world, born in Madeira1. José Mourinho: World-renowned football coach, currently at A.S. Roma3. Sara Sampaio: International model who has walked for brands like Victoria’s Secret3. These are just a few examples of Portuguese people who have made their mark on the world.
I think that Portugal was undervalued many many times in ESC. On the top of my head, 1969, 1984, 1983, 1985, 2003, 2019... And I know that many ESC-fans all over agree... Televoting has also not been good to Portugal. Luckily these placings have changed since 2017. Since 2017 Portugal failed to qualify only once in 2019 (quite unfairly, imo). Out of six years, Portugal had three top ten and four 1st half placings, so not bad at all, for a country that consistently sings in their own language except for one time.
