I came across today with this:
The video is from November 2013, and Anna Vissi is talking about Rui Andrade who took part in FDC twice, she sayd '' Hi Rui I heard you are going to take part in Eurovision this year'' and that made me go hmmm, specially because the Internal selection is likely to be our method this year. Out of curiosity i went to his FB page and I found a link he posted from other ESC news site where it said:
''Ruslana, the female vocalist who won the Eurovision Song Contest back in 2004 was a special guest at the World Outgames held in Antwerp where she performed a mixture of old and new material, including Wild Dances andThis is Euphoria. She spoke to several media outlets and revealed that she would like Portugal to return to the international competition with Rui Andrade as the representative. ''
So not only Anna Vissi but also Ruslana said it, and he posted it on his fb saying:
''A big thank to all the team of XXXX for this publication ... I hope to deserve your attention in the coming months ... and have your support
A big hug
Rui Andrade ''
The part of '' I hop to deserve your attention in the coming months'' makes me go hmmm again.
Rumour has it that he has sent his song to Zlata, Ruslana and Anna Vissi, hence the videos replies, Zlata simply wished him a happy birthday and the best for his music career:
However I'm somehow scared of the internal selection as also in November 2013 RTP official FDC fb page posted a link of the new song of Carlos Costa who also took part in FDC, and let put it this way, he is crap, and they never posted before any video of any singer that didn't go to Eurovision before.
Anyway, Rui Andrade song in 2011 (should have won):
And Carlos Costa crap (should have come last):
