Filipe Pinto Wins Portuguese Idol

Yes!
Filipe Pinto a great singer and a true Idol!
And he is very humble...
...Not like one of the other contestants who shall remain nameless...Carlos Costa...ups. Third place, really?(this is more for the Portuguese Readers who follow the competition)

Here is his last performance Pearl Jam's "Betterman"


After he won he sang "Ouvi dizer" by Ornatos Violeta (his favourite performance and mine as well):


Also a word for Diana who came second, and would have been a deserving winner.

Long live good music!

Portuguese Idol - Filipe Pinto Final Performance

Last night the third edition Portuguese Idol came to an end, kind of...
...Because they decided to reveal the winner a week later grrr...

Before the final show I wanted Filipe to win based on my musical taste and I wouldn't be mad if Diana won.
But after the final performances, it has to Filipe he was better in all the four songs!

Is performance of Nirvana's "Lithium":


It's funny that in what is supposed to be a pop contest, two Rockers reach the final.

Great Performance by Filipe, check out my you tube channel for other videos:

What do you think about the performance?
Would he have a chance in your country's idol?

Cheers

Portuguese Idol - Diana Piedade

Diana Piedade although not my favourite contestant she is very deserving of reaching the final, the only reason I would like to see Filipe win is because of my musical taste.
Their both talented in their own way!

Diana Entered the competition Rock n' Roll girl, but since then has managed to expand her horizons.

Here She is singing "Live and Let Die" Guns N' Roses


This is a Portuguese Song called "E Depois do Adeus"(After the goodbye) by Paulo De Carvalho
(On a cultural note, this song was played on the radio in 1974, has the signal for the beginning of the Portuguese Revolution against the oppressive regime in power at the time)

Portuguese Idol - Filipe Pinto

Filpe Pinto is my favourite contestant of the Portuguese Idol, he as an unique voice kind of similar to Eddie Vedder's .
He has sung Radiohead, Santana, oasis amongst others...

I will show you my favourite performance where he sings in English, and I will also throw in one in Portuguese.

The english one is Oasis' "Don't look back in anger":
 

The Portugues is "Ouvi Dizer"(Loosely translates to "I heard") from Ornatos Violeta:


He is already in the Top 2, which will be this Sunday. I will let you know if he wins!
