Lobo_mau, I have heard Ana Moura in Vancouver! I will look up Carminho. I may not be discriminating enough, but I also like Mariza :).
Thanks for the tips.

To WT or whoever is concerned, Belgian singers Wendy Nazaré & Pep's have a hit called Lisboa (French lyrics) http://youtu.be/EoA1mCqdsVM
Video clip (recorded in Lisbon) offers a lot of clichés, but it's nice to watch.

Lobo_mau,
Thanks for those great links. Enjoyed the voices, but the visual in the first was like a great combination of dutch painters; Frans Hals, Rembrandt and Vermeer all together.

Thanks for the Lisboa video, lobo.

I'm impressed by some of the reviews here. My experience of the competition is limited, but my annual holiday planning begins with a week in Portugal.
