this is a natural singer. this really is a natural talented singer. not someone who just started singing to become famous. this is so much fun. this is the best performance.

This was criminally underrated in the contest and by Eurovision fandom, it's pure art

One thing Salvador Sobral has taught us is that a song doesn’t need much to capture people’s hearts. This is another example of that. Keep sending quality Portugal!

"Maybe not tonight..." Thank you, just thank you for keeping the fight even after so many people wrote you off so early. Was worth every penny to vote. That's the spirit, love is truly on our side. It's easy to cheer for the favourites, but to be in love with such an underdog of a song, that's just something else. Pure magic and joy. Obrigado!

Yesterday I watched an interview with our singer Victoria. She said that she admired the Portuguese and that they were very nice people. Unlike other performers who looked at her arrogantly, the Portuguese always came to her dressing room before a concert and wished her success, and the soloist kissed her encouragingly on the head. I send you love from Bulgaria and I hope to visit your country one day.

His voice sounded better than studio version.

This song deserved SO MUCH better. Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

This was, beyond doubt, the best performance of the night. I liked the song before but I love it now. They deserved to be much higher in the results but, if I were Portuguese, I'd be very proud to have had this song and performance represent my country.
I fully expect to be listening to this version of the song for many years to come and encourage all of those who love it to download it and make it a huge hit, regardless of eurovision.

Eurovision always brings us a special gem of a song every year, and this is that one for this year! What a song. Be proud of it, Portuguese people!

[dionemoolman]

Of all the songs this year, this one felt the most like a genuine song.

[ESCxCan]

This definitely deserves to end up in the top 10, it's such a masterpiece. Good luck 🇵🇹 Portugal!

[marjanner]

Thank God for the juries. They at least gave Portugal the points they deserved. It's painfull how a masterpiece like this is so underapreciated by the public.

[fifamaniac]

This didn't win because it isn't Eurovision level: it's *above* Eurovision level. Bee Gee voice, majestic instrumental, the guitar solo, classy display, no shouting, no glitter... Portugal can be proud 🇵🇹🎩

[oscaralvarenga]

Portugal is always Portugal. Nobody makes them betray their essence. Thank you Portugal, keep being Portugal 😍 MASTERPIECE.

It's another level of music, Eurovision is a 80% pop-music contest, his vocals, instrumental, it was GORGEOUS

[soledadbaciu]

They are the winners for me. The song, the voice, their music is something irreplaceable. Congratulations, Portugal !!!👏🎉

[sarz]

Portugal was truly the dark horse of the year. Nobody believed this masterpiece would make it to the final let alone finish 12th. From the bottom to the top. This is what i love about Eurovision, it's a place for all kinds of music. congrats!

[andreteixeira]

Even though the vote from the public was not so generous, this was Portugal's third best result in the current format. And I'm pretty sure The Black Mamba have gained a lot of new European fans 👏

[stephanievantielen]

I just want to say this: thank you so much for bringing music to eurovision. THANK YOU PORTUGAL FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!!!
