Thanks for your support.
It genuinely baffles me how so many are quick to say this is a "boring ballad" that "goes nowhere". It absolutely has dynamism, nuance, and incredibly strong storytelling.
Portugal is my top 1, is a masterpiece of this year
Proud of our roots, culture and language, this music represents Portugal very well
I cried for whole 3 minutes!
The soul off Portugal 🎉
❤️
🇵🇹😸
Love norway😽
@@esc.norway 👍😋
Absolutely beautiful 😍 she's comes with the whole package 🥰
Goosebumps ❤
Obra Prima 🤍 Masterpiece
I listened the song on the radio but I didn't know that it's the portuguese song for eurovision this year but the true is that it's very catchy and one of the best sound on the radio recently here in Portugal.
Portugal brings something special again. 💁🏼♀️
Agreed!
❤❤❤Amazing Amazing Amazing good voice
Just trying to get the meaning out there :) Thank you and Love from Portugal. Here is the ANALYSIS and Lyrics, "Grito" (Scream) from Iolanda, Portugal choice:
"Grito" (SCREAM), 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.
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
Thank you for sharing!
Portugal has the best song this year, hands down. Light years ahead of anyone else.
Go check the lyrics if you haven't yet. The song is about a woman's inner flame and capacity for rebirth, in the face of hardships. I LOVE this song so much. Love at first listening. I hope we'll do well. Regardless of everything, this is a winner to me.
🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹❤️
❤️🫶🏻
Love your reaction! So happy we picked her 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Thank you, us too! Best pick by far!!
This is a song about resilience and an internal flame that is still burning despite being trapped. The musicality reflects a fire burning and it one of the best sounds and voices… the lyrics are absolutely flawless. Food for the soul.
Agreed!
Portugal, ❤
Interesting show boried song
Thanks for your reaction. You are so adorable. love you from Portugal!!
Awh, thanks for the love
I just love her voice and the choreography. The dancers portrait her emotions very deeply. The song also is profound and very complex. Portugal, you did the right choice 🎉
Such an envy for you for seeing this show live in may 😂
Agreed! Can't wait to see her in Malmö
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
what fantastic lyrics
Beautiful song. ❤ ❤❤❤
love you so much. you are the kind of friends i would love to have. love from portugal and thank you for understand us so well. the part you said that the song expresses pain but is a conscient feeling? that's it. you really got us. if we look at our both cultures, there are very curious simillarities , more than you can imagine.
Awh, you made our day
Thank you ladies 🤍🧡👏🏼🇵🇹
Our pleasure
I love this song!
Us too!
The song is About struggling with her mentallity (from what i’ve read). And also the song name «Grito» means «Scream» in Portuguese. So the BEAUTIFUL scream at the end is just (from my understanding for it) dealing with the emotions and just letting it go by just screaming.
Thank you so much for enlightening us, appreciate it!
You anderdend completly the song 😂❤
Ladies! You are both AMAZING in all your reactions! someone said, somewhere in the commnets, "that you are the kind of people we want to friends with! That is so true! I cannot leave Scotland when all action is happening in Malmo, but defo, you have the amazing vibe that I like with my friends. Congrats on your reactions and channel! Kudos!
Awh, you just made our day, thank you for your love and kind remarks
@@esc.norway we definitely would! Ladies... have loads of fun and enjoy the most... I am wee bit envious... but it is the good envy! The white envy type! Like " iolanda and her dancers costumes" :)
Tout simplement Magnifique ❤❤❤❤❤
the ones who understand the depth of the artistic performance, get it. and both of you nailed exactly my feelings towards this song ❤✨
Thank you
Thank’s Girls,

Thank you so much, we really appreciate it
You’re right it’s a scream at the end. Grito=scream . Hugs from Portugal ❤️
❤️
i am so so proud to see this reaction thank's so much... iolanda....
Masterpiece...Love this song.
Agreed Daniel!
Thanks/Obrigada ❤🇵🇹🤗
Lindíssima ❤❤❤tanta qualidade e emoção 💓
Thanks for your video and love for this song.
As a Portuguese myself, I’m very proud of this entry. High quality song and performance! But I must say I’m worried with this going through to the final if the voting on the semi is only public voting (?) and considering the other countries on semi 1 which also have strong songs and are tendentiously more “disconnected” (geographically & culturally) from Portugal.
Pity we can’t even count with your vote due to the fact Norway is on semi 2 😝😅
The right choice 👌 no doubt about it.
Agreed!
I listened to it on Spotify and thought it was good but nothing great but it looks really good on stage. Very powerful voice and nice rhythm and the staging looks great. Good luck Portugal🇵🇹
Agreed Brynjar!
i just hope that she will manage to qualify :)
Fingers crossed!
Grito
Iolanda
Ouvi, senti
O corpo a carregar
Seguimos assim
Um e outro
Um e outro
Um e outro
Sou queda livre
Aviso quando lá chegar
Entrego-me aqui
Pouco a pouco
Passos largos presa na partida
Quero largar o que me deixou ferida
Peço à estrela mãe que faça o dia
Nascer de novo
Transformei cada verso de mim
E entregue à coragem
Que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Ainda arde
Hoje quero provar a mim mesma
Que posso ser o que eu quiser
Juntar quem me quer bem numa mesa
Perdoar quem me quis ver sofrer
A mim não me enganam! (Não!)
Eu sou todo o tamanho
Ainda lembro quando era pequena
E sonhava primeiro
Passos largos presa na partida
Hoje eu largo aquilo que me deixou ferida
E peço à estrela mãe que faça o dia
Nascer de novo
Transformei cada verso de mim
E entregue à coragem
Que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Ainda arde
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Arde
Arde
Arde
Transformei cada verѕo de mim
E entregue à coragem
Que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Ainda аrde
************************************
Scream
Iolanda
I heard it, I felt it
The body carrying
We go on like this
One and other
One and another
One and another
I'm free falling
I'll let you know when I get there
I give myself up here
Little by little
Wide steps caught in the departure
I want to let go of what hurt me
I ask the star mother to make the day
Be born again
I've transformed every verse of myself
And surrender to the courage
That still burns
Still burning
The light hits my chest and it opens
I'm a flame that still burns
Still burning
Still burning
Today I want to prove to myself
That I can be whatever I want
Bring those who love me together at a table
Forgive those who wanted to see me suffer
I can't be fooled! (No!)
I'm all size
I still remember when I was little
And dreamed first
Wide steps caught in the departure
Today I let go of what hurt me
And ask the star mother to make the day
Be born again
I've transformed every verse of myself
And surrendered to the courage
That still burns
Still burning
The light hits my chest and it opens
I'm a flame that still burns
Still burning
Still burning
I'm a flame that still burns
Still burning
I'm a flame that still burns
Still burning
Burning
Burning
Burning
I've transformed every part of me
And surrendered to courage
That still burns
Still burning
The light hits my chest and it opens
I'm a flame that still burns
Still burning
Still burning
A shout to the world, stop!!!❤❤💛💚💚💚

Steady Gang - ( 周星翅Chou Xing Chi )mv❤❤
Thanks for the tip!
Thany you for your reaction. But I Want to ask you to react the grande final performance. She made diferent voice tones. Check it out.
Our pleasure
True! The Final performance last night was even better than the one from the Semi Finals. I just do not understand how you did not realize you were reacting to the same performance you already did weeks ago..😮
🤍🤍🤍
Can you tell me what song the outro in your video is please ?
It's from a musical project Maria had with a friend, so it's not released on any platform :/
@@esc.norway its sounds nice, reminds my of my childhood or maybe just this early 2000s experimental electro stuff you'd find on MySpace
Our problem are the vots ho we love tha song we love his we love that okay but we need the vots where are the vots ??
Douze points!
Что у левой девушки с шеей
She has gone through cancer, that’s the scar from her operation
Wrong video to react, you are reacting to the Semi Final one! Last night was the Final and her winning performance was much better.
Thanks for the info, we will react to that as well then!
I find it a little difficult to follow this track... There arent really those moments that i really enjoy, while overall the song and performance are pleasant. Same with the voice, its very good but i cannot fully connect with her or her perfomance, the repetitiveness annoys me and makes the song feel long 🤷♂️ solid entry though
Thanks for sharing your opinion, appreciate it!
@@esc.norwayprobably a grower but that long note makes me wish she would sing more with this powerful chest voice
Portuguese person here tyyy but he didn't wanted herr😭 we are disappointed bc João was supposed to win bc he won by public votes, but tyyyy😭💜
Sorry to hear that
João song was great, Iolanda was the best. (Period).
FdC is made about tele and jurie!
Jurie wise: João had weak song lyric wise, a decent performance, a meh Voice, a decent stage presence. Stop that! The internacional reaction’s has been amazing to Iolanda. Sore loser!
Dancers distract me off the song. Id remove them.
No way, the dancers represent the various versions of her in the fight for acceptance and forgiveness and courage and the will to move forward this song is very profound and talks about mental health I also recommend reading the lyrics
Again we will not pass to the finals with this song......Another boring song.
why wasting time with things you do not like? why "bombarding" such a nice space, with two amazing hosts, with negative comments? no one forces you to listen to songs you do not enjoy! Use your time in search for things that that make you happy, that are appealing to your soul, that makes you feel like a valid and credible human being... your comment only shows your bitterness,sour little soul, bitterness! Did you know that there is a war in Europe, Gaza strip conflict, and loads of people starving in this world? I believe that you need to "Gritar/ to scream" your lungs out and start working your demons! Shame on you!
It's your opinion whoever has artistic sensitivity will find it a work of art, I sincerely hope it goes to the end this song deeply touches my heart and soul
Boring. Not my cup of tea at all xD.
I'm sorry, but I think they will not qualify
Fingers crossed!
We will qualify 💪
Meh.
This is the semi-final performance…not the final one!!😅
But great that u love it!! 🤍❤️🔥🤍
So sorry, we thought we were watching the one from the final🙃😅 Thank you, we absolutely do🫶🏻🇵🇹❤️
❤
