Portugal and Israel

Portugal

Another surprise qualifier.  That said, this is a good, oldfashioned Eurovision ballad.  Portugal never worries about trends in the Contest, it just does what it wants.  Filipa does well with this song, and connects with the camera very well.  This could do much better than anyone could ever have imagined.  Good.


Israel

We were surprised this qualified last night.  Harel seems to be singing well, but this song bores us.  This is an entry that strives to impress, but leaves us totally cold.  Contrived and overblown.
