Raul: PORTUGAL WHAT DID U DO? When you have Tristeza you pick Deslocado, the most boring song of this year …. Maybe you will go to the final, I hope not cause you don’t deserve that place. About the song, no. Vocals? Good. Staging? Meh.
Grade: 5/10

Reza: I have to admit I was pretty annoyed that Fernando Daniel didn’t win FdC since he would’ve been in my top 5 this year. But “Deslocado” is not a bad song at all. It’s very soft, warm, and it has its own charm. It’s not the usual pop music you hear at Eurovision, and we really have to appreciate that. The lyrics are beautiful and relatable for many of us, myself included. The song tells a story and feels very personal to NAPA, which makes this entry even more authentic. However, its chances at Eurovision are quite slim since it’s not really a competitive entry. That said, Portugal surprised us with The Black Mamba too, and not many people expected them to make the final… so who knows? “Deslocado” will definitely have its audience.
Grade: 8/10

Stefania: “Deslocado” feels like that indie tune you stumble upon during a late-night playlist dive pleasant but not quite memorable. Napa’s heartfelt delivery is evident, yet the song doesn\’t leave a lasting impression.
Grade: 6/10

Laur: “Deslocado” by the band NAPA leaves much to be desired. The song feels outdated and lacks the freshness expected in a modern Eurovision. Its composition is flat and it fails to evoke any strong emotions or memorable moments. Considering Portugal had stronger contenders like “Tristeza” by JOSH in their national selection, it’s perplexing that “Deslocado” was chosen to represent the country. The decision is disappointing, and the song doesn’t seem to have the qualities needed to advance to the finals. Overall, it’s a lackluster entry that doesn’t do justice to Portugal’s musical potential. I have nothing to say more than this. NQ for sure. See you next year, Portugal!

Florin: I like his voice, but the song? It’s a no for me, it doesn’t really go anywhere and I usually forget that it is in the contest. I’m just not a fan of this kind of songs I guess. I don’t see what they could do more with the staging than in the NF in order to surprise. For me, another non-qualifier.
Grade: 4/10

Antonio: I had another OBVIOUS win in FDC but i gotta say, this song hits differently. It’s sweet, simple indie pop song that can somehow gather someone’s attention by nothing. I am not the biggest fan of it, but I hope they’ll do good in Eurovision!
