Portugal – the ghost of Senhora do Mar

What’s that? – The ghost of Senhora do Mar over the Eurovision? – Well, not so much, but thats what she is trying to emulate in every fans mind, and it fails to even come close to that. It is half of what that song was.

However, back to what this song actually is…. and that is, a competent Fado-inspired song which Filipa sings the backside off – but it has been done before and a lot better, to be honest.

There is likely to be a big dress and a wind machine, but that won’t even make it what people want it to be.  As for the real world, I think its struggling on this performance, as it just makes me want to fast forward coupled with the fact that it doesn’t attack like some of the songs round it. It just bores me to death and I fear it wont be getting televotes in huge enough numbers to qualify.
