@Ado Meuporg he gave a concert in Portugal 2 weeks ago in Casa da Música in Porto, one of the most important and emblematic concert hall and was all in French, he sang Jacques Brel. Also his wife is French.
He donated the procedes of the Eurovision song to help the area devasted by forest fires in Portugal that year. In other ways too he seems to be very generous, see how he gave total credit to his sister. There are good people in this world.
This dude really has a knack for languages. I went to see a performance of his last tour. He was singing and partly communicating in the audience's native language without having a very heavy accent, really. Truly impressive. And he doesn't seem to be afraid of making mistakes which probably helps him improve faster.
Relaxed, interested, intelligent, generous, honest, funny as hell, gentle, speaks Swedish, and so humble. I had to give him the credit he deserves. So happy to see he is healthy. 😘
I'm learning multiple languages atm, i started with Swedish, found it so easy i thought other languages would be easy for me too, and that is the case a little bit, but there is something about Swedish, it's a relatively easy language to learn i think. I think it's easier to learn than English(English is my mother tongue though), so i think anyone whose second language is English might not have such a hard time learning Swedish at all. Oh, i do 5mins a day, maybe 5 days a week, with all 6 of the languages i'm learning. I've been doing this, with long breaks inbetween for just under a year. Every new Swedish word i learn just stays in my brain, i don't have to practice so much. I can also read Korean now, i tried really hard with that though. Other languages i'm learning are French, Russian, Greek, and Chinese.
When your only one neighbour is a country where many people cannot even speak their own language right certainly helps you stand out. Before anyone comes at me, yes I'm Spanish.
I just discovered Salvador Sobral yesterday and I was mezmerized! Love his sweet voice and his gentle personality... Salvador Sobral - you got a new fan from Israel!
I did actually suffer with him in every step when he had to get up all those stairs in Eurovision but thank to his heart-donor he is now much better and growing strong I thank you so very very much for your honest insightful interviews you have accustomed your viewers to watch & reflect upon, Jeg takker deg 🙏🏻
When Salvador first talked about 'fast food music' I must say I began to dislike him for being so pretentious and was resentful for the fact that people gave such weight to his words. However, after actually reflecting what he was saying I definitely agree. Looking back over the years, my favourite entries felt like they came from a place of emotion and genuineness, songs from like Jamala, Rona Nishliu, Sabina Babayeva and Salvador, but that also includes more upbeat or modern songs from like Loreen, Aminata and Joci Papai. It's not about being anti- modern, anti-pop or against upbeat music, it's about appreciating music that has heart and rewarding music that has purpose, not songs that exist for the sake of putting out any music. I like a lot of songs in Eurovision 2019, but I've yet to connect with many on the same level as past favourites.
Totally agree. I disliked him too, because the 'fast food' music that year was actually good fast food music. It's like fast food that has little taste vs fast food that has a lot of taste, lol. I like it all. In order to not grow blase about meaningful art, i think it's good to have a balance with meaningful and less-meaningful, balance is important.
@@RoxanneLavender Yeh I would agree, and that's why my main point is for music to have purpose. A song's purpose can be cultural, emotional, activistic and things like that but also purposeful songs can be those that are intended to simply be enjoyed, that are meant to get people to dance to it. Looking back I can see that when Salvador refers to 'fast food' music, it is not to degrade all upbeat songs but to show that songs from kristian and robin b in 2017 didn't have much purpose other than to have a produced song at eurovision?
@@chlorinelori1064 - You really don't know Salvador, do you? He's a very genuine and humble person, he'd never say that about any other artists, no matter how bad they were.
And It Was the most voted song in the history of eurovision until Now..even Merlyn Streep the actress loved Salvador's song , i remember She Said at the time..Amar pelos dois had hypnotised all the world not ONLY europe..dont BE so mean to salvador..try to understand the real meaning of his words..he talks on metaphore
I am an american who has been watching eurovision for the last 3-4 years and when I heard that song, I knew it was the winner. I was transported to another time and place, when I first heard that song. I knew what he was talking about without knowing what he was saying. Once I looked up the translation it was confirmation for what I already knew.
@@udb1987 Savador he is in fact unique musician he said if he head to chose being better or lose is voice he said he would choise is voice no way to live without singing
I was deeply impressed in 2017 with the song, the performance and the personality, even more so having heard of Salvador's serious heart condition. I Loved that song, it made me weep and I was happy this song won the contest. Even more so, seeing this interview I am so very happy to see how well Salvador looks now. Bless him.
Hello Skavlan! What an amazing interview, what an inspiring young man! I don't speak Swedish but did he say he has studied Swedish 3 weeks up to that point? Incredible! A heart transplant survivor WOW! So young! I just watched his Eurovision Performance and it is striking how ill he looks, almost shocking and somehow he still mustered the strength to sing his beautiful song
Always found it kind of funny, he never directly called out any artists or contestants. He simply said that the world had fast food music, mass produced with no feeling. The over the top reactions from that Swedish guy and different fans proved his point. They knew their songs had no meaning and no feeling, and they tried to defend it.
I friking love him. He went to my country learned a song in my languge and sang it for us ( btw the song is very dear to us Lithuanians) 😂😂😂 like omg. Btw the song was Lithuanian.
Lol... If it makes you feel any better, then... no his pronunciation kinda sucks :) But that doesn’t matter as long as you can make yourself understood, (which he can) and continue to work on your pronunciation. But he has studied Swedish for 3 weeks so you can’t expect too much, you know? In order to drop your foreign accent, you have to completely re-train your tongue, lips, and voice intonation. I know it sounds silly, but the best way is to simply parrot your favorite role models in the language you wanna learn. Someone you look up to. There is a lot of identity and personality in an accent and you gotta find a Swedish speech style that suits you. Then improving pronunciation and accent becomes easy.
Yeah compare that to other immigrants who have been here for 5-10 years and still can’t complete a sentence and then cry rivers about how they can’t get a job.
I fall in love with his singing and his performanc all at once. And it wasnt 'cos the show but because his energy. Eurovision needs more of that and less of the so called show they are doing most of the time.
Ohhhh😊🙏🏻 I love Salvador Sobral so much... I miss him in Eurovision, that vibe and that soul... but I totally understand that he feels like Eurovision is not his home. 😊 I will just buy his new album 😁
Dear - dear Salvador! How many more times will journalists ask him about a crystal microphone, a heart transplant, a donor? Are they not interested in what the singer is doing today? Salvador is much more than a Eurovision winner. He is brilliant singer with a beautiful velvety voice, he is a talented musician, a unique phenomenon in the music world. Unfortunately, some people do not listen attentively to the answers of Salvador and then write all sorts of nonsense. It's a pity…
The PORTUGUESE 🇵🇹 Language is the Key to learn fast other cultures and languages that's why we are so successful in speaking other LANGUAGES ! 👌🇵🇹 LEARN PORTUGUESE OF PORTUGAL AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED 👍
@ML8593wy being portuguese, i speak 4 languages. The fact that portuguese people have a knack for other languages, not only latin ones, is due to the fact that our language itself has a huge variety of vowels and consonants pronounce, wich kind of helps to catch any other language quirks. That is why we can understand most other latin languages, but the others cant, specially the Spanish. And since english is wide spread across Portugal, learning any other germanic language is easier, like, for example, swedish
SORRY, but so many Portuguese people here never learn our language, and do not have interest to learn it. So your boasting is a bit too high. (I am from Switzerland, the Swiss German part and by the way speak Portuguese from Brasil and other languages) I think that learning a foreign language has something to do with talent, interest, and perseverance when it seems to be hard. It is an attitude of mind and probably also the heart, because if you love a place, or want to love and understand people there, you wish to learn their language.
Saúde e força Salvador ! Tu mereces o melhor! Compreendo que sempre que te interrogam sobre o dador ( pergunta absolutamente inaceitável)demonstres algum desconforto e respondas de uma forma "ligeira" que indigna muita gente; penso que só quem passa por essa situação limite pode avaliar o que sente quem recupera a saúde com a morte de outro, viver com o coração de outro ...é tão fácil criticar! Quanto à Eurovisão já disseste tudo ...haverá sempre quem te odeie. Continua fiel a ti próprio!
Concordo com a parte que as pessoas nao precisavam de perguntar acerca do coraçao , mas Salvador tambem podia contornar a pergunta e nao dizer diretamente " who cares!! " . Claro que isso nao muda a minha opiniao de que ele é do melhor que temos em Portugal
@@sergiovilela1204 Isso reforça a minha opinião quanto à dificuldade que ele terá em lidar com esse assunto. Mas concordo que nem sempre escolhe as melhores palavras.
This is what we portuguese do... We like to adapt to other cultures and learn they're customs and languages. You don't see many other country's where people do that :)
Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, totally unique, never-the-same, completely not ever done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
I like him and his song and he has a great personal story , but music wise it's not exactly original or never done before, it's a jazz influenced ballad. You need to look at the history of music and perhaps even ESC to realize that songs like this have been around for a long time. There are so many factors around why he won, it's not just about the song , but he certainly created beautiful nostalgic moment that spoke to many different audiences.
A very sympathetic person and definetely the best of these three bad eurovision winners in the past three years. I wasn't so happy about his victory but it was okay for me. The songs from Netta and Jamala were just horrible for me
Oh meu God..i AM sorry but you people are so duh???? When salvador's says is prostitution os a metaphore, he os saying that eurovision is not his type of music style or place to BE..he is more a jazz Singer, not a "showman" Singer.. that's all..he isn't being ungrateful..Amar pelos dois is still a song that all the world loved, not ONLY europe..its an amazing song, full of love.go back and remember it ;)
I see how you defend him and i partly understand that. But !. He is a public person and he should know better how to handle some of his answers. If it wasn't for Eurovision nobody would know his name outside Portugal. And his perception of quality music is very childish. That being said , some of us (who truly hear Chopin, Bethoven, Claude Debussy) are thinking that his music is too simple and boring for a delicate ear but yet here we are , the rich kid complaining about where the money came pouring in. No realness at all.
Sure, no artist would be known without already a bit of fame. You are pushing for excuses to hate the guy. I admit it that Salvador isn't probably the best with words, even making a bad joke at a festival to pay for forest fires affected families. But you can't deny that he was the general first choice for all Europeans, his music was great, and the fact that he complains about Eurovision shows that what comes out of his mouth is spoken with honesty and that he does not fear to make such comments. In the end, you are trying too hard to hate him.
@@lerui2820 no it is the opposite. I voted for him and i looooved his song so much while others said that its ''меh'' BUT , fans from eurovision voted for him to WIN , no football fans but ESC fans. and for him to just go from here and there and talk about negative stuff shows a lot of who he is. Lets not forget he collected many votes for sympathy also. He might as well let his sister sing the song but no. So, all in all, i don't hate him nor do i like him. And that is the worst that can happen to one artist. The most successful are either really loved or really hated.
What I mean is the usual dishonesty that artists and in general competition winners have in these talks. As I said, he has an historic of saying what he thinks. Whether that is good or not is for you to decide. But his words really were on how he enjoys his "humbler" of producing music and singing in small scale, not to be a "showman" singer as the OP said, how he feels that a lot of the music produced today is fastfood music, sure it's made with determination but without heart, it's not that people have fun with it, but that they do not turn it to actual art(not trying to be pretentious), to deposit emotions into it, to make it more than some cool sounds.
@@lerui2820 Ok Le Rui, now i just concluded that i want a friend like you, who will defend me in the way you defended Mr. Sobral. You must be a really cool person. Cheers to that
It's very common for portuguese ppl to learn and talk foreign languages, even though portuguese is one of the most spoken languages around the globe, but oftentimes the native portuguese is mistaken with american portuguese which is like comparing british english to australian english, so we adapt very swiftly in order to understand and talk to other people who don't speak portuguese fluently, it's a trademark for being such good hosts if I'm allowed to say that.
Salvador: " You know, nowadays, I think maybe I was too fundamentalist, you know, maybe too extreme". People: "oh he's such a vile and dismissive person" Everyone has their own evolution trajectory, you know?
What I've always said is that when the melody is good enough and the performance is good enough, the song will do well. They might not always win, but they will do well. Needless to to say I did vote for Salvador, his performance was not only pitch perfect, it was emotionally compelling even if I didn't understand a word of it,. Within 10 seconds he had me and that was it. But to prove my point, here is the link to Chiara's performance from 2004 (th-cam.com/video/Vv8GmwcfR9A/w-d-xo.html). She didn't win, she came 3rd, but when one large woman can be on the stage all alone and when the song is good enough and performed well enough it will do well. Another example would be Il Volo from Italy 2015 (link here : th-cam.com/video/1TOMqZV2jA8/w-d-xo.html). Even if they don't don't win, people will recognize good music and vote for it. And there is nothing wrong with trying to get ahead if you're a young artist and Eurovision is one way to try and get there. So when he says he prostituted himself participating in the song contest, I do agree but only to a point. It is also a great way to show case your music, whatever genre it may be. And Salvador I do adore you and your music !
People always giving him a hard time for not being the typical cynical European. He is super genuine, authentic and beyond interesting. Can someone upload the full interview with the singing part?
I've heard extracts of all 2019 Eurovision songs, and can't be in more agreement with Salvador about "is not about singing, but the show". Layers and layers of electronic effects. I think it's a mistake. Nowadays a good songs making the voice singer the mean aspect of the song, and a few instruments for the melody, would be a killer, as there no other song like that (Game theory). I'm pretty sure, as in example, if Saara Aalto would have gone with just a piano and her voice to sing "Monsters", she would have obtained a better result.
Salvador was honest and frank as always. He told about learning Swedish language, about the disease during the ESC, about the sufferings in the hospital, about the difficulties of the first performance after the transplantation. Interesting facts of his life. But Mr. Skawlan chose the word "prostitution" for the title of his video. Why? To get more views, more attention to his work? Business first? Doesn't it seems like Mr. Scavlan's PROSTITUTION? Such a nice person as Salvador Sobral deserved a more correct attitude to his interview.
The song is of loving a person beyond death. The idea of a person weak and the other wondering what to say. The words they say are even after your gone I will love you still. The title of the song is "Loving for both" and not in the sense one no longer loves, but that they died. This would be thus the swan song you offer to let them know there is nothing that can replace you in my heart. The crowd loves the movements he does and style of music choice because it harkens to old times and the hands by the heart or making little movements which are delicate thus remind of times gone by and being full of emotion. My top 10 list at Eurovision, unless someone tells me something to watch: 1) “Hurricane” by Eden Golan (2024) 2) “Arcade” by Duncan Laurence (2019) 3) "Fairytale" Alexander Rybak (2009) 4) "Amar Pelos Dois" by Salvador Sobral (2017) or "Loving for both" or in other words one is about to die and the other is saying they will love them still 5) "Hasheket Shenish'ar" by Shiri Maimon (2005) or "The Silence that remains" 6) “Why Me?” by Linda Martin (1992) 7) “Nocturne” by Secret Garden (1995) or "the night" 8) “Waterloo” by ABBA (1974) 9) "Zitti E Buoni" by Måneskin (2021) or "Shut up and be good" by Moonlight 10) “Ne partez pas sans moi" by Celine Dion (1988) or "Don’t Leave Without Me” 11) “Toy” by Netta (2018)
Me parece que hay que tener una honestidad brutal para decir que Eurovisión fue tu prostitución. Y tiene toda la razón. El festival, a nivel musical, es sencillamente nefasto, inexistente. Por otra parte, he visto a Salvador Sobral tres veces en directo y me parece un artista extraordinario. Es un ser especial.
That man is gonna be able to speak every language i swear. He speaks italian, english, portuguese, spanish, catalan and now swedish? Really impressive

It's the phonetics. We have a wider range of sounds in our language that "train" us better to different sounds and it makes it easier to learn. ;)

The fact that portuguese people have a knack for other languages, not only latin ones, is due to the fact that our language itself has a huge variety of vowels and consonants pronounce, wich kind of helps to catch any other language quirks. That is why we can understand most other latin languages, but the others cant, specially the Spanish.
And since english is wide spread across Portugal, learning any other germanic language is easier, like, for example, swedish
SORRY, but so many Portuguese people here never learn our language, and do not have interest to learn it. So your boasting is a bit too high. (I am from Switzerland, the Swiss German part and by the way speak Portuguese from Brasil and other languages) I think that learning a foreign language has something to do with talent, interest, and perseverance when it seems to be hard. It is an attitude of mind and probably also the heart, because if you love a place, or want to love and understand people there, you wish to learn their language.
Saúde e força Salvador ! Tu mereces o melhor! Compreendo que sempre que te interrogam sobre o dador ( pergunta absolutamente inaceitável)demonstres algum desconforto e respondas de uma forma "ligeira" que indigna muita gente; penso que só quem passa por essa situação limite pode avaliar o que sente quem recupera a saúde com a morte de outro, viver com o coração de outro ...é tão fácil criticar! Quanto à Eurovisão já disseste tudo ...haverá sempre quem te odeie. Continua fiel a ti próprio!
Concordo com a parte que as pessoas nao precisavam de perguntar acerca do coraçao , mas Salvador tambem podia contornar a pergunta e nao dizer diretamente " who cares!! " . Claro que isso nao muda a minha opiniao de que ele é do melhor que temos em Portugal
@@sergiovilela1204 Isso reforça a minha opinião quanto à dificuldade que ele terá em lidar com esse assunto. Mas concordo que nem sempre escolhe as melhores palavras.
Ele poderia saber querer saber quem, qual é o problema..???
Wow, that dude has such a cool taste in cinema
Tan enfermo que estabas y aún así ganaste Eurovisión... qué grande celtíbero... Besos desde España!!!
god I love this guy
I really enjoy this interview.
nothing like honesty! Voce arrasou, continue assim!!!
Thanks from Portugal! ❤🇵🇹
Love him, and feel perfectly all he's saying, can relate to many of the things. He is such a great person!
This is what we portuguese do... We like to adapt to other cultures and learn they're customs and languages. You don't see many other country's where people do that :)
He is soooo unique and so cute :) very special man
I totally agree with him. "Fast food music"
I love that he’s slowly coming back❤️💪
waiting for his new album, gonna listen to it and dreaming to visit his concerts...
he’s amazing i love him x
what a beautiful face omg
Is no one going to mention how gorgeous this man is?
Salvador. You are AMAZING.
He is absolutely amazing!!!
Artistas como ele são sempre bem-vindos.
He is so interesting and inteligent person! :)
Such an impressive individual on so many levels.
I love this man so much!
Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, totally unique, never-the-same, completely not ever done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
You make me fantasize about a Gaga and Salvador collab Cheek to Cheek style.
@@kevinvannorel936 That'd be amazing.
I like him and his song and he has a great personal story , but music wise it's not exactly original or never done before, it's a jazz influenced ballad. You need to look at the history of music and perhaps even ESC to realize that songs like this have been around for a long time. There are so many factors around why he won, it's not just about the song , but he certainly created beautiful nostalgic moment that spoke to many different audiences.
@@jrudolf519 I was just quoting that Lady Gaga meme
@@paulojrneto Oh sorry that went straight over my head, haven't seen it 😳😂
Cool 😎 cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
I LOVE YOU, SALVADOR !!! :-) Good luck for your next steps....
I'm glad he did Eurovision because it's what drew my attention to him. He's great!
I went to Malmö and no one speaks Swedish and a Portuguese go there and speaks Swedish, amazing slap to the Swedish government.
Maybe you went to a "Malmö" in Bulgaria or something? Because it doesn't sound like you've to the one in Sweden.
He is utterly gorgeous.
A very sympathetic person and definetely the best of these three bad eurovision winners in the past three years. I wasn't so happy about his victory but it was okay for me. The songs from Netta and Jamala were just horrible for me
Oh meu God..i AM sorry but you people are so duh???? When salvador's says is prostitution os a metaphore, he os saying that eurovision is not his type of music style or place to BE..he is more a jazz Singer, not a "showman" Singer.. that's all..he isn't being ungrateful..Amar pelos dois is still a song that all the world loved, not ONLY europe..its an amazing song, full of love.go back and remember it ;)
I see how you defend him and i partly understand that. But !. He is a public person and he should know better how to handle some of his answers. If it wasn't for Eurovision nobody would know his name outside Portugal. And his perception of quality music is very childish. That being said , some of us (who truly hear Chopin, Bethoven, Claude Debussy) are thinking that his music is too simple and boring for a delicate ear but yet here we are , the rich kid complaining about where the money came pouring in.
No realness at all.
Sure, no artist would be known without already a bit of fame. You are pushing for excuses to hate the guy. I admit it that Salvador isn't probably the best with words, even making a bad joke at a festival to pay for forest fires affected families. But you can't deny that he was the general first choice for all Europeans, his music was great, and the fact that he complains about Eurovision shows that what comes out of his mouth is spoken with honesty and that he does not fear to make such comments. In the end, you are trying too hard to hate him.
@@lerui2820 no it is the opposite. I voted for him and i looooved his song so much while others said that its ''меh'' BUT , fans from eurovision voted for him to WIN , no football fans but ESC fans. and for him to just go from here and there and talk about negative stuff shows a lot of who he is. Lets not forget he collected many votes for sympathy also. He might as well let his sister sing the song but no. So, all in all, i don't hate him nor do i like him. And that is the worst that can happen to one artist. The most successful are either really loved or really hated.
What I mean is the usual dishonesty that artists and in general competition winners have in these talks. As I said, he has an historic of saying what he thinks. Whether that is good or not is for you to decide. But his words really were on how he enjoys his "humbler" of producing music and singing in small scale, not to be a "showman" singer as the OP said, how he feels that a lot of the music produced today is fastfood music, sure it's made with determination but without heart, it's not that people have fun with it, but that they do not turn it to actual art(not trying to be pretentious), to deposit emotions into it, to make it more than some cool sounds.
@@lerui2820 Ok Le Rui, now i just concluded that i want a friend like you, who will defend me in the way you defended Mr. Sobral. You must be a really cool person. Cheers to that
He looks so good!
It's very common for portuguese ppl to learn and talk foreign languages, even though portuguese is one of the most spoken languages around the globe, but oftentimes the native portuguese is mistaken with american portuguese which is like comparing british english to australian english, so we adapt very swiftly in order to understand and talk to other people who don't speak portuguese fluently, it's a trademark for being such good hosts if I'm allowed to say that.
What is american Portuguese?
@@brenosilvamorais2510 Google it
What a beautiful man 🖤
Omg he looks great now after heart surgery Oml there is a god
The guy has a very likeable personality...xD
most eurofans only stan upbeat or modern ballads, he won because the locals voted for him, it was special
Salvador Sobral my man ❤❤❤
still loving uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Beautiful Prince!
Salvador: " You know, nowadays, I think maybe I was too fundamentalist, you know, maybe too extreme".
People: "oh he's such a vile and dismissive person"
Everyone has their own evolution trajectory, you know?
HayashiMinoru they were mentioning his actions during the 2018 contest
He wasn't talkinga about him ya dingus, he was talking about his views regarding music, and what he said at the time.
What I've always said is that when the melody is good enough and the performance is good enough, the song will do well. They might not always win, but they will do well. Needless to to say I did vote for Salvador, his performance was not only pitch perfect, it was emotionally compelling even if I didn't understand a word of it,. Within 10 seconds he had me and that was it. But to prove my point, here is the link to Chiara's performance from 2004 (th-cam.com/video/Vv8GmwcfR9A/w-d-xo.html). She didn't win, she came 3rd, but when one large woman can be on the stage all alone and when the song is good enough and performed well enough it will do well. Another example would be Il Volo from Italy 2015 (link here : th-cam.com/video/1TOMqZV2jA8/w-d-xo.html). Even if they don't don't win, people will recognize good music and vote for it. And there is nothing wrong with trying to get ahead if you're a young artist and Eurovision is one way to try and get there. So when he says he prostituted himself participating in the song contest, I do agree but only to a point. It is also a great way to show case your music, whatever genre it may be. And Salvador I do adore you and your music !
2005. And Chiara actually came 2nd, giving Malta their best result
People always giving him a hard time for not being the typical cynical European. He is super genuine, authentic and beyond interesting. Can someone upload the full interview with the singing part?
So what is in your eyes a typical European?? I mean what defines it...
wait what?
I've heard extracts of all 2019 Eurovision songs, and can't be in more agreement with Salvador about "is not about singing, but the show". Layers and layers of electronic effects. I think it's a mistake. Nowadays a good songs making the voice singer the mean aspect of the song, and a few instruments for the melody, would be a killer, as there no other song like that (Game theory). I'm pretty sure, as in example, if Saara Aalto would have gone with just a piano and her voice to sing "Monsters", she would have obtained a better result.
He's handsome
Salvador Sobral took Portugal very high above with his Eurovison Song Contest award! I'm such a Portuguese proud woman!
Eça, por favor, regressa. Somos tão provincianos🥱.
Salvador was honest and frank as always. He told about learning Swedish language, about the disease during the ESC, about the sufferings in the hospital, about the difficulties of the first performance after the transplantation. Interesting facts of his life. But Mr. Skawlan chose the word "prostitution" for the title of his video. Why? To get more views, more attention to his work? Business first? Doesn't it seems like Mr. Scavlan's PROSTITUTION? Such a nice person as Salvador Sobral deserved a more correct attitude to his interview.
It's so shameful ! Hypocrite host. Shame on him!
Tambem achei hipocrita. Atualmente ele está um pouco mais cuidadoso nao fala coisas que possam ser usadas contra ele
The song is of loving a person beyond death. The idea of a person weak and the other wondering what to say. The words they say are even after your gone I will love you still.
The title of the song is "Loving for both" and not in the sense one no longer loves, but that they died. This would be thus the swan song you offer to let them know there is nothing that can replace you in my heart.
The crowd loves the movements he does and style of music choice because it harkens to old times and the hands by the heart or making little movements which are delicate thus remind of times gone by and being full of emotion.
My top 10 list at Eurovision, unless someone tells me something to watch:
1) “Hurricane” by Eden Golan (2024)
2) “Arcade” by Duncan Laurence (2019)
3) "Fairytale" Alexander Rybak (2009)
4) "Amar Pelos Dois" by Salvador Sobral (2017) or "Loving for both" or in other words one is about to die and the other is saying they will love them still
5) "Hasheket Shenish'ar" by Shiri Maimon (2005) or "The Silence that remains"
6) “Why Me?” by Linda Martin (1992)
7) “Nocturne” by Secret Garden (1995) or "the night"
8) “Waterloo” by ABBA (1974)
9) "Zitti E Buoni" by Måneskin (2021) or "Shut up and be good" by Moonlight
10) “Ne partez pas sans moi" by Celine Dion (1988) or "Don’t Leave Without Me”
11) “Toy” by Netta (2018)
Salvador: Learning Swedish for 3 weeks
Me: Has been learning Swedish for almost 10 months and has the same level (Maybe a bit worse) as him
He is so good!
Salvador being Salvador ❤
@Paz Lojo casal what ?
He is soo funny with a great friendly spirit, a very crazy man with an old style and a naive attitude of a real artist
What a sweetheart
Me parece que hay que tener una honestidad brutal para decir que Eurovisión fue tu prostitución. Y tiene toda la razón. El festival, a nivel musical, es sencillamente nefasto, inexistente. Por otra parte, he visto a Salvador Sobral tres veces en directo y me parece un artista extraordinario. Es un ser especial.
You are too easily impressed.
@@meropale Curious reflection of a follower of Abba
the fact that he loves ingmar bergman makes me love him more
Amazing guy
este homem é do caraças ❤️
You mean arrogant
