"Silêncio e tanta gente" - Maria Guinot

"Sometimes it's in the middle of the silence, that I find the love in your eyes"

The Portuguese Final was held on March 7th at the Auditório Europa in Lisbon, hosted by Fialho Gouveia & Manuela Moura Guedes. The winner was chosen by an "expert" jury in two rounds of voting - the first to select the top 6 songs and the second to select the winner.
