Go and watch Dulce Pontes live if you have the chance. She is fantastic!!! I saw her in Salamanca, my hometown, and she did great. Obrigado, Dulce.
She is one of my favorite female singers. Wish her very much success and hope to be able to buy a copy of her new album soon.
She is just FANTÁSTIC!
Temos muito orgulho!
Good luck Dulce. I adore you!
She's a great artiste. 
Portugal have had some beautiful entries in the ESC, and I love to hear the language sung. I really hope you guys win the contest soon! You're one of my favourite countries in the ESC!
Well Dulce is indeed a Diva and one of our best singers ever just like mariza, the problem is that they hardly be interested in taking part of esc. Too bad!!!! 
This new cd is very good like all her other Cds.
Bravo Dulce és fantastica!!!!
at least Dulce represented Portugal at the very beginning of her career, but most obviously she changed and developed musically into a very sincere artist.
I wonder why Portugal is not taking advantage of the fact that there is a strong connection to the brazilian, kapverde music scene.
togravus ceterum
it's not the fact that we don't consider the great singers for Eurovision, it's just that they don't really care for it. 
it's such a shame that portugal doesn't consider sendig one of their great singers. dulce pontes, cristina branco, and mariza are all among the best singers in europe.
