The winning performance of Salvador and Luísa Sobral from Portugal

Salvador Sobral from Portugal won the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv with the song Amar Pelos Dois. This is his winning performance together with his sister Luísa.

Some people call him arrogant because of his words. But an arrogant man does not choose to share the greatest moment of his professional career with his sister. A beautiful gesture.

This singing of both siblings together - he the singer, she the songwriter - was one of the best moments in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest.

i love his reaction when luisa starts to sing, he’s like ‘look! this is my sister, she’s an absolute legend and i adore her and what she does!’

I came to Portugal for holiday but ended up with urgent eye surgery. While I was recovering at the hospital in Porto, I was told Sunday morning that the country had won the song contest. I then heard it for the very first time. Salvador Sobrals voice was very soothing while I was vulnerable, on my own in a country where wasn't able to understand anything. But people were friendly and I felt completely safe. So wherever I go, there will always be a chip of Portuguese in me. Regards from a deeply thankful Dane.

At first, I didn't like the song at all. But now I can understand why he won.
At the beginning, Eurovision was a contest in which each country tries to show the world a piece of his culture, of his soul. But now, every country seems to present the same kind of commercial songs, in which the singer simply sings. This year, the humility, the identity, won in a contest full of "Spotify's songs" and the winner's final performance, with his sister, is the most beautiful performance a winner had ever made in Eurovision.

Luisa starting to sing was probably my favourite moment of the whole contest.

"Music is not fireworks." With a few words... he says it all.

The fact they did this together as a duet seriously warmed my heart so much! Not my kinda song but this is so sweet 🌈

This here is in my opinion when Eurovision reached its peak. This isn’t my favourite winner of all time, and there have been amazing moments before and since, but this just encapsulated everything this contest is about. Regardless of our personal preferences and biases, it felt like for just one moment, all of Europe could come together and celebrate the victory of this man bringing his sister’s humble song to the world stage and succeeding, despite everything we thought we knew about this contest. It brought his country a victory for the first time, and despite all the lights shining down and cheering him on, he chose to share the moment with a person he loved, and all of Europe and Australia quietened to listen. Thank you Portugal, you gave this contest its heart. 🇵🇹 ❤️ 🇬🇧

4:37 He was really happy for his sister and that makes ME happy

Salvador is a free spirit. He always talks what comes to his mind with no filters. He did not criticized his adversaries but the whole music panorama. He went on a mission not to win this contest but to show that goodl music can be made with just feelings and a voice as a tool with minimum instrument support.. He did not thought he could win but Europe surprised all of us with a beautiful response to his call for love.

The right music, with the right man at the right time. That's it.

The duet with his sister is the most emotional moment in the Eurovision histrory!

[annakuzmina]

That's so amazing! No words, only tears in my eyes. Beautiful language, great performance! Luisa has really beautiful voice too, they could sing a duet together, that is awesome. Congratulations from Russia! Parabéns!

[MiissAlexandraMakeup]

Yes its true, Portugal cheated... They sent a good song!

[Ramboost]

Even if his sister was the one who performed for Portugal, they still would have won.

I, m glad this guy won the eurovision, because he deserved it! Means a lot of people actually still like music from the heart filled with emotion wich kinda surprises me in this generation. No special effects, no sexy dancers, no back vocals, no showing off and a loud beat. Just Him, his heart and voice. Like he said it at the end. Music is not fireworks but feeling. Well said. Bravo my friend! From Serbia.

[annettebe]

I love how music has no language. Here's the proof, I can't understand what he's saying and I don't know why my tears are coming out.
Congratulations Portugal !

[rafadydkiemmacha]

One of the best Eurovision winners ever. He is so much into this song and the lyrics are beautiful. His speech about fast food music was on point. You can dislike the song, but saying it's "boring" or "dull" just shows you are insensitive and that's probably because of mass media.

[celbridge]

Finally a young man has the courage to stand up for what a song should represent, the younger people of today badly needed a reality check, this brother and sister provided it, it's wonderful to see the respect they have for each other.
Congrats from Ireland.
