Up next we talk about Portugal! Unfortunately, Portugal has a record of being one of the worst countries in Eurovision history. Although it has appeared 47 times in the competition their best result was 6th place in 1996. Since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, Portugal has only qualified for the finals 3 times (2008 - 2010).

This year they're sending Leonor Andrade singing Há um mar que nos separa in hopes of getting into the top 5 for the first time in Portugese history. Leonor only recently started singing in 2014 when she participated in Portugal's version of The Voice and made it to the semifinals. Let's see what her song sounds like.

Unfortunately I'm not to big of a fan of this song. It doesn't seem to have any energy to it and is easily escapable. Although Leonor's voice is fairly good, I don't think it is strong enough to win the competition this year although it might be strong enough to bring it out of the finals. We'll see how it goes.
