Baku, May 18 (AZERTAC). The song Vida Minha, which was written by Croatian Andrej Babić, has a melancholic Fado vibe about it. The romantic stage act, Filipa`s gentle vocals, and the soft lyrics in Portuguese language made it stand out from the other entries in this Semi-Final.

"I`m not yet a well-known singer, but I would definitely stick to my Fado roots," Filipa said.

"We still hope - that`s why we are here! I don`t know if it will be this year, but we are doing our best, and we got nice comments before we came here. Let`s see. I don`t know if it`s enough, but we surely hope so", Filipa Sousa stated on her expectations to win the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time for Portugal.

Filipa Sousa then went on to sing a Fado song accappella, even involving the press audience, who all had to sing E Fado along with her.

Filipa Sousa (27) experimented with Portugal`s traditional musical style, Fado, for fun when she was 16, and hasn`t stopped since. Being a Fado singer, she`s been invited to sing for the Portuguese communities abroad, and thanks to her victory in the 2012 Festival Da Canção, she will represent Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku.
