Yesterday's round of Operação Triunfo, the Portuguese preselection scheme for the Eurovision Song Contest, gave us three possible songs to represent Portugal. and this Sunday we will know what song will be defending the Portuguese colours in Istanbul.

The first one to perform was Francisco with the song Caminhos Singelos, a slowish piano song. Sofia sang a fashion uptempo song, Foi Magia, perhaps the most 'Eurovisiony' song of the evening. Finally, Gonçalo performed Novo e Clássico, a simple love song.

Special guests on the were Anabela and Lúcia Moniz, who represented Portugal in the Eurovision back in 1993 and 1996 respectively.
