Did you enjoy the choons picked over the weekend? The sublime Koit & Laura? The loony Ilinca & Alex. Or the pretty little melody from Salvador? They are all good in their own way, and one of these countries is after its second victory with the others after their first.
Portugal has tried 48 times without success, so I’m plugging one of their songs today.
