One day, perhaps, a humour entry will get the last laugh at Eurovision. But that day is not today.
Homens da Luta - A Luta É Alegria (Portugal 2011)
I believe the Portuguese when they say this entry means something to them. That it is funny. I had my doubts in the beginning, but before the first semi was over and done with I had sort of given in to this fact. The Portuguese entry is funny.
But it is not good.
And it is hardly even a song.
If you enter a song contest and decide to be funny, then you have to be good. And you have to have a song.
But since none of the songs mentioned until now show any trace of fun or any lasting entertainment value, then of course this one must rank higher.
Next year, I hope for a real hit, though. It would be about time that Portugal won the whole sad thing.
My grade: 1 / 5
