The Grand Final of Festival da Canção promises to be an interesting affair. Saturday night, 4 more qualifiers joined the already diverse field of songs, including a fado song by Tomás Luzia and a gospel rap song by Jimmy P.
Tomás Luzia gave the stand-out performance of the night, displaying solid vocals in an interesting traditional Portuguese song. The international tint came from Jimmy P, who delivered his song with five backing singers dressed as catholic acolytes. In Portuguese lyrics, Jimmy P told the story of how thankful he is to God for his family.
