PORTUGAL – The Black Mamba have been crowned champions of Festival da Canção and will represent Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam with ‘Love Is On My Side’.

Hoping to discover another Amar Pelos Dois, the coastal nation concluded their search for a 2021 entry on Saturday evening, during a grand final broadcast live from Lisbon.

Both Carolina Deslandes and The Black Mamba finished on equal points with the largest public vote acting as the tie-breaker.

Despite an effort to use few English n three previous occasions, it is the first time since its first participation that Portugal uses entirely the English language in their Eurovision entry. Anyone trying to use English in Festival da Canção didn’t end up in a good ranking.

Though it was in Eurovision 2003 Rita Guerra performed the last refrain in English. In 2005 and 2006, the same scenario was repeated. A few lyrics in English, in order for the message of the song to pass more easily to the viewers.

The very poor results led the next representatives of Portugal to use verse only in their native language, as it was considered that English did not favour them in their score harvest.

ANDORRA 🇦🇩 Following last years efforts by Susanne Georgi it seems now that the government of Andorra sees positive a potential return to the Eurovision Song Contest, a show the popularity of which could put the country back to the international map. Ministry of Tourism would consider such an option under a specified strategy while Ciutadans Compromesos Party is also positive to such an option. As expected the opposition party is not seeing Eurovision as a could option for the country. 7 0
