Portugal First Rehearsal: Leonor Andrade - Há Um Mar Que Nos Separa

We're on the penultimate country already of today's semi rehearsals; Portugal.

Leonor is channeling her inner pop chick with a solid stage performance if you ask me. The stage is predominantly blue and white, with a city skyline of skyscrapers in the backdrop.

Leonor herself is wearing a black outfit, consisting of leather leggings and a long top with long sleeves which flow everywhere with the windmachine. It's very similar to the outfit she was wearing during the national final.

I have to say that I'm actually pretty impressed with the staging. Portugal are doing exactly what it says on the tin. We're getting a proud and confident performer, who knows her stage and gets the maximum she can get out of what's on offer. Portugal offers a great stadium feel, concert vibes and that's only enhanced by the ayo's in the chorus.

What really lets the Portuguese down is the song, which in my opinion could have been stronger. It's a little too middle down the road, to go all the way.

Portugal, a surprising Sept Points!
