Most watched show on RTP
Portugal: high viewing figures for JESC 2007
The exact figures show that an average 1,090,000 viewers watched the show. RTP head of delegation, José Poiares, is pleased with the results and does not discard for now the participation of Portugal in next year's edition. These results were a clear improvement in comparision to the national final, broadcasted on 5th October, which didn't make the top 15 on the TV ratings list.
It seems that Eurovision is still generating interest among the Portuguese TV viewers. On the other hand, results don't seem to match the ratings. Jorge Leiria reached 16th place with the song Eu só quero é cantar in Rotterdam out of 17 participants.
Operação Triunfo dedicated to the Eurovision Song Contest
About an hour after the contest, last Saturday's Operação Triunfo gala was dedicated to past Portuguese entries at the Eurovision Song Contest. The contestants at the show sang with Manuela Bravo (1979), two members of Doce (1982) and Dora (1986/88) the international entries. A compilation CD has been released with all the performances by the singers.
