The sheltered harbour conditions have made Lisbon a major port for two millennia, and as a result of the maritime exploits of the Age of Discoveries Lisbon became the centre of an imperial Portugal.

Eurovision Song Contest 2018 Semi 2
Semi Final 2 2018 Country Singer Song Comment My 10 to final Guessing Final 10 to pass 28/04/2018 to the Final Norway Alexander Rybak Thats how you write a song OK welcome back Mr Ryback, and welcome back to 12 points from East Europe, but it do not change the fact this is a Norway version of cartoon song (Read: Måns Zelmerlöw) and without the ”fun” drawings its a mediocre song. Romania The Humans Goodbye No comment, please rescue me from comments on this Serbia Sania Ilic & Balkanika Nova Deca When the intro of tortured cats passed this is not at all as bad as Serbia usually enter into the contest (and not only enter they usually also pass to the finals with a little help from their friends, and sometimes even produce the worst winners of the contest ever) San Marino Jessika Feat Jenifer Brening Who we are Say what? 12 from Malta? But the rest of Europe? BUT I want San Marino to go to the final, we don’t want to loose them to as other small countries Denmark Rasmussen Higher ground The Swedish contest producers nightmare. A song never selected for the Swedish selection and was entered in Denmark and won. If Denmark ends up before Sweden in the final result its a thorn in the side if they win o my God… And they might, this is dark and good and Nordic. Russia Julia Samolylova I wont break Poor Julia, a really good ballad last year and Russia and Ukraine politics stopped her from participating and she returns with a mediocre pop tune.
