This year the Portuguese managed to breathe new life into their national final: Like Spain they were using a TV format called "Operacao Triunfo" - some kind of Portuguese "Pop Idol". The singer Sofia managed to win with a catchy up-tempo song called "Foi Magia". The Portuguese entries are usually sung in their native language which might prove to be a disadvantage in comparison to other countries with difficult languages, for example Turkey, who decided last year, to sing in English in order to improve their chances of winning. The rest is history… Hopefully there will be an English version of the Portuguese entry presented this year in Istanbul. |
