That man is gonna be able to speak every language i swear. He speaks italian, english, portuguese, spanish, catalan and now swedish? Really impressive
Also french :)
He can sing in French, but does he speak French? I don't know/
@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.
@@HaidukeNT he married with a french girl
@@semheteronimos His wife is francophone but is from Belgium. Don't call a Belgian French...!! LOL
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.
Omg he looks so healthy here !he shines ! I am so glad he made it !
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.
Skitbra jobbat!!!
He is a singer which is similar to being an actor.
Salvador speaking bits and parts of this interview in SWEDISH is truly wonderful 😨😮😯
he is portuguese. thats why
@@jessicamateus2074 Being portuguese doesn't automatically mean you can peak swedish.. what??
@@lynxerax7011 portuguese people like to learn the local language when they are abroad. thats what i mean.
As if they were the only ones to do that.!
Salvador Sobral is a little genius.
🙌🙌🙌
Wow! He looks so good and healthy compared to 2 years ago. He must have been so sick. Glad he's still alive.
heart transplant
Wow, I really admire people who are unapologetically themselves like Salvador here. So refreshing!
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. 😘
Portuguese people learn languages very fast,and usually with the right accent to..😄
True!
@@luanunes14 Swedish people also
We are language maniacs
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.
@@ivanmacias9603 I have some Spanish friends,when the speak english,the have a funny accent..everybody knows they're spanish!!
People like Salvador Sobral are the ones who should appear more often on TV shows.
impressive how he learned Swedish so quickly :)
study 6 to 8 hours a day...use weekends if you can also. There you go.
@@julesmpc1314 He's a musician, that helps. They have good ear!
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.
@@julesmpc1314 It is VERY hard to spend 6 to 8 hours a day on a single thing, how much you might enjoy it.
Yeah well Tinder works great for me ;)
I speak 5 languages now + bit of German and currently learning Chinese :D
Best way to learn languages!!
I'm glad he did Eurovision because it's what drew my attention to him. He's great!
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 really love him! ♥ 1year ago I travelled to Lisboa just to watch and listen in live! And I saw his concert from the first line and It was an amazing experience! He is pure music and funny and wonderful soul!!!! Love form Hungary!!!!! ♥♥♥♥
Salvador speaking Swedish is my religion
He sounds very good tho
Such a beautiful human being. If only 10% of the world population were as interesting. Love him.
There is more of 10% high IQ-narcisist-perfectionist people... Specially in europe
its really nice seeing him healthy now
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.
Qué crack y qué brillante es Salvador Sobral, tan políglota y tan respetuoso con todas las culturas. Ole!
menos con la que le ha dado a conocer
@@leli_bonustrack2476 OLE OLE OLE!!!
@@leli_bonustrack2476 ??????????? no tiene sentido lo que dices!
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.
😊❤
It's his feeling, he achieved a lot in his life, so people give him a mic and ask his opinion. Dont try to censor an artist.
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.
Do you mind sharing the name of the song?

Salvador is such a lovely person, he is beautiful. People don't get his way just because he is unapologetic about life and about his art.
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.
The fact that you took time to translate those songs says a lot about you shout-out to you me friend
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?
He would probably say something negative about those songs too.... I feel like he only sees his own music as “real” music.
@@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.
"Oh, uh huh, uh huh, great."
- Salvador Sobral, 2019.
Erik Emerölduson hahahahahha
Hahahahaha...
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 🙏🏻
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
Salvador looking so healthy makes me feel just fine. Although he was looking good a couple years ago, too, but now it's just the right thing 🖤
Its funny that i feel the similar way about Portuguese the way he feels about Swedish
Ooh, he looks so fabulous and healthy!! I'm happy for you, guy😘
I really enjoy is humility, honesty and Straightforwardness..
trully.an inspiration to us all.
He is fantastic! Great to see him heathy! Close to my heart.
So adorable! Love him to the moon
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
One of the contestant who wished he’d won said in an interview... when that song is performed duing Eurovision, everyone stopped to listen.
@@udb1987
😊💙
Swedish in 3 weeks! Wow!
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've been studying Swedish for about a couple of years now and my pronunciation sucks. And he's so good at it!
Same here
But hey, he's musician, I guess it helps a bit
As a portuguese, I realized we are quite good at nailing the pronunciation of foreign languages.
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. ;)
@@moreiratc92 we also notice more foreign accents in foreign languages than the Portuguese accent in foreign languages.
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.
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 😁
It's soo nice to see him that healthy :)
Salvador Sobral és lindo 👏😘🇵🇹
this guy must have an IQ of 400
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
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.
god I love this guy
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!
Salvador. You are AMAZING.
Tan enfermo que estabas y aún así ganaste Eurovisión... qué grande celtíbero... Besos desde España!!!
Rarely anybody becomes famous from thoes kind of shows...and he is too damn smart ...grande salvador o guerreiro
nothing like honesty! Voce arrasou, continue assim!!!
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..???
He is utterly gorgeous.
He kinda looks like McCartney in the late 60’s!! I love it!!
Thats what i was thinking. The rooftop concert. Ahahaha
I love that he’s slowly coming back❤️💪
he’s amazing i love him x
I really enjoy this interview.
I'm Portuguese and proud of Salvador! Surprised to see him in Skavlan that I know because of the interviews to the former ABBA members.
He is absolutely amazing!!!
He is soooo unique and so cute :) very special man
I love this man so much!
what a beautiful face omg
Beautiful Prince!
Salvador Sobral my man ❤❤❤
I LOVE YOU, SALVADOR !!! :-) Good luck for your next steps....
waiting for his new album, gonna listen to it and dreaming to visit his concerts...
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…
Tatjana Dmitrijeva it´s a pity really almost journalists don´t speak about his unique voice,the way he feels music , the great projets he has .
I subscribe your comment! 👐❤
Unfortunately he is known for his career and life during Eurovision not before or after it.
I am interested in Salvador's health and miraculous recovery! God exists!
Acho que hoje ele não é mais a Eurovisao, mas foi importante
Such an impressive individual on so many levels.
Cool 😎 cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Artistas como ele são sempre bem-vindos.
still loving uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Wow, that dude has such a cool taste in cinema
He is so interesting and inteligent person! :)
What a beautiful man 🖤
Is no one going to mention how gorgeous this man is?
He looks so good!
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 👍
Crazy
@ML8593wy He means it because of our many vowels and consonants which allow us to learn many languages quickly. I speak 7 and I am Portuguese.
maybe but Portuguese is hard to learn (Portugal Portuguese)
@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.
Salvador being Salvador ❤
@Paz Lojo casal what ?
Salvador, que boss
What a sweetheart
He's handsome
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 so good!
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)
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?
Maravilhoso Salvador.
I totally agree with him. "Fast food music"
He is so cute.....
Amazing guy
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
Yes. He has right as mentioned about eurovision..2024
I love this man
He's adorable! ❤
so talented!!! Love him.
I love this guy.
Bravo from Greece... Vassilis Nestoridis. (Chalkis).
este homem é do caraças ❤️
You mean arrogant
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 😳😂
This guy is amazing.
He is awesome 👏 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful person😍
He is so adorable
most eurofans only stan upbeat or modern ballads, he won because the locals voted for him, it was special
