Lisbon ... dancing

Country: Portugal
Performer: Sabrina
Music by: Emanuel
Lyrics by: Emanuel, Tó Maria Vinhas
Review: I saved the best for last... or maybe not!
It has been more them 10 years since Portugal last ended in the top 10. Recent entries have drop more and more into the last places of the semi-final and have not ended last (with zero points) because we still have some diaspora voting.
This year will hopefully mark the begining of a new era, it's the first time for a very long period that we have a professional production team behind our song.
Dança comigo is a cute latin pop song, sang by a cute female singer called Sabrina. It's not a great song (not that bad either) and the singer is average. Sabrina's voice sounds a bit flat on the studio versions of the song so I prefer the live versions. I know she sangs a bit off key sometimes but the song sounds more "alive"!
The performance promises to be at the same level with the other songs, with a couple of professional dancers and some "caliente" moves... Just hope it won't be too over the top.
There is of course no chance for us in the semi-final, we still have a long way to go if we want to improve our Eurovision resuts, so for now anything above 15th place would be a great result in my opinion.
