Eurovision Portugal 2005 - 2B - Amar

"Amar" ("To love") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in Portuguese and English by 2B.

The song is an up-tempo number, with the duo singing about the great power that love has. As Portugal had not qualified for the final in the 2004 Contest, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed third, following Laura & The Lovers with "Little by Little" and preceding Moldova's Zdob şi Zdub with "Boonika bate doba". Most of the pools demonstrated that it was a favourite to qualify. But in the final the microphones didn't work and there were no light effects and the performance was ruined.

At the close of voting, it had received 51 points, placing 17th and failing to qualify for the final, a result which meant that Portugal would have to compete in the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.
