1. 馃嚨馃嚬 Karetus & Romeu Bairos - "Saudade"

Score- 30
Comment- This one I was most excited about because everyone was hyping it up and saying how good it is. And I'm not lying when I tell you that I DESPISE this. This is just a typical Portugal entry, they hold a nf that as of now I am enjoying and then the end result a song that I don't like at all ends up winning. I am hoping that another song can win but if this is the favourite than Portugal might be looking at another last place in my rankings.

Comment- This was very atmospheric, and I did enjoy it, her voice is very pleasant and the music was nice, some parts did make the song sound cheap and didn't really fit the mood of the song but it was a nice song and one I wouldn't be mad with if it won.

Comment- Nope what is happening, this nf is going downhill. I can't sit through this for 3 minutes without yawning, it's pitiful. It is romantic but I would most certainly make sure I take a leak during the song because sitting through it is painful.

Comment- This reminds me of Calum Scott's "You Are The Reason" especially in the chorus. I had to stop what I was doing because this song really caught my attention. As someone who had an absolutely horrific year with Covid in 2020 and someone who lost a parent, this song resonated me in such a way I found myself quite emotional, like me mbron by Xhesika Polo, this song is such a beauty and I hope it resonates with Portugal so we can get this man to Eurovision because it will do well. Great message and great song!

Comment- A nice chorus, couldn't really care much for the rest of the song being honest. The chorus lifts it up a lot. A bit wishywashy.

Comment- The backing music reminds me a bit like UP the movie. You see this is the problem I have with some of these songs. I don't like 'Walt Disney music' you know the romance music you would see if a couple went to France in a movie, I just find it extremely boring, repetitive and dragging just like Salvador Sobral in 2017 which ended up being my least favourite of the year and annoyingly ended up winning.

Comment- I can just about handle this one, after about a minute I wanted to move on and was already done with the song. It's got some good bits and some bad bits but as a package... meh.
9. 馃嚨馃嚬 The Black Mamba - "Love Is on My Side" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWIaNwwUY8c

Comment- The music started and I was about to start a rant about how boring this nf is and then he starts singing and I actually quite liked it. It isn't my favourite but I definitely do not hate this song, I feel like the lyrics could be a bit more clever but overall I would relisten to this.
