    This year we will use the usual FDC method selection, there will be 12 songs taking part on the national final.
    All of them will be in Portuguese and so will be the singers/composers.
    There will be 2 semi finals and 1 final each semi final will have six songs from which 3 will go into the final.
    The top 2 songs from televote will go directly to the final, the third qualifier will be selected by the jury which will consist on the composers of the songs taking part on the semi (they cannot vote on their own song).
    On the final the top 2 songs on televote will go into a super final together with a third song selected by the jury. The one of those 3 that will win televote will go to ESC.

    I don't know most of these well enough to judge already, but I'm curious how Simone's song is going to sound. She's 77, what's she thinking? :D

    I respect the fact that Portugal always stick to Portuguese no matter what! its a beautiful language but if they want to win Eurovision or even do well they need to get away from the extreme cultural stuff. take a page out of Turkey or Greece's book and combine cultural with a fun/attractive son, last year was good progress hopefully it shall take the next step

    Good Luck Portugal :) :pt:

    But :pt:'s best result in the modern era was in 2008, in which they sent a massive ballad sung in Portuguese, i.e. the exact antithesis of the disposable ethno-pop that has become synonymous with Greece and Turkey.

    that was an exception, that was better than anything they had ever sent in recent times, nothing they have sent before or since can match it IMO, but this year based on there semi they will need to send something of the same quality as 08 if they want any hope of making the final, they only have 1 known friend in Switzerland (and there not a very reliable one).

    It wasn't the only massive aspect of the Portuguese 2008 entry, AMMIRITE?

    On the note of that: how was it 2nd in the semi final and then 13th in the final? I CALL SHENANIGANS.

    no offence like, but I seriously rather have us singing in Portuguese with a ballad or folk or whatever that represents us and do badly than having to send something as cheap as secret combination (Greece 08) or dum tek tek (Turkey 09) that I personally find extremely cheap and crap.

    i understand what you mean and i am in the same boat as you, what i mean is send something cultural without it being cheap or crap e.g what greece did in 2010
