07 Portugal – Deixa-me Sonhar (So Mais Uma Vez) – Rita Guerra
Rule number one: Have a title that's easy for anyone, of any nationality, to say and remember. Doh!
It’s a little-known fact, but Portugal’s Eurovision entries are knocked out by a bunch of monkeys, who are locked in a room for twelve months with typewriters and xylophones, in the hope that they can come up with a memorable tune. One day, the law of averages dictates, Portugal will end up with a mildly interesting melody. This time around, due to the monkeys failing dismally in 2001, they’ve had two years to try, but sadly, this song reveals the experiment has at least another year to run, as someone unfortunately fed the monkeys Valium. It’s taken over ten listens to this for the faintest trace of a tune to lodge in my head. Expect this one to be met with spontaneous outbreaks of apathy.
