The 27-year-old representative of Portugal performed with the composition Amar Pelos Dois. By the way, the author of the song was the sister of Salvador Louise Sobral.

As soon as the presenters announced the name of the winner of the competition, the singer went on stage and said that at Eurovision, artists always present songs that have a certain meaning:

My point is that we live in a world of fickle, festival music that contains nothing, and I think this could be a victory for music with meaning. Music is not fireworks, music is a feeling. So let's try to change that and bring back real music.

The artist's sister went on stage with him and could not contain her emotions. After the end of the competition, the journalists managed to talk with the girl, and she told why her brother became the winner.

When I thought about this song, I imagined that the listeners would be drawn to its simplicity. The simplicity of the song was the most important, it distinguished it from everything else that was in the competition. Simplicity and how my brother did it is key. When he sang, I saw every word in his eyes. He made her special

Louise stated.

It should be noted that for health reasons El Salvador missed almost all rehearsals. Reportedly, the musician was diagnosed with a heart defect. Very soon, Sobral should have an operation.

Second place at Eurovision 2017 was taken by a resident of Moscow, who represented Bulgaria at the contest - 17-year-old Christian Kostov. Note that he became the youngest performer at the last event. He managed to score a total of 615 points.

Recall that Russia did not take part in the competition. This happened for the first time since 2000. Yulia Samoilova, who was supposed to represent our country at Eurovision 2017, received from the local authorities at the entrance to the territory of Ukraine. They stated that the artist had violated state law, since in 2015 Yulia traveled to the Crimea, where she had a performance. That is why the SBU restricted the entry of the singer for three whole years. By the way, we already know that Channel One refused to broadcast the event.

Eurovision organizers threaten Russia and Ukraine with sanctions

We have already resigned ourselves to the fact that this year Russia does not participate in the competition due to the fact that the Ukrainian authorities did not give our Yulia Samoilova the opportunity to perform in it. And that she will represent Russia in a year in another country. But it turns out that we may not get into the next competition either.

Portuguese singer Salvador Sobral announced the winner of the Eurovision 2017 music contest, which took place on the night of May 14 in Kyiv. This is the first victory for Portugal in the history of the competition. We tell you what you need to know about the singer who charmed all of Europe.

Who is Salvador Sobral?

Little is known about the young man. He was born on December 28, 1989 in Lisbon, where he subsequently spent most of his life. However, Sobral lived in New York for some time.

At the age of ten, Sobral took part in a TV show Bravo, by the age of 20 he became one of the finalists of the Portuguese version of the famous program Pop Idol - where he took seventh place in the third season of the project, performing songs Stevie Wonder and Leonard Cohen.

Sobral studied psychology at the Institute of Applied Psychology in Lisbon. After leaving the University of Lisbon, he entered the prestigious Academy of Music in Barcelona, ​​where he completed his studies in 2014. He began his big musical career as part of the indie pop band Noki Woi, which he left by 2016. In the same year, Salvador released his first and quite successful solo album called Excuse me.

Salvador has a congenital heart defect, he is forced to live in a sparing regime, so he prepared for his performance at Eurovision and did not rehearse as actively as the rest of the participants. He is very often accompanied by his sister Louise Sobral, who wrote a song for him Amar pelos dois with which he won the competition. According to some reports, the sister could replace Sobral if his health condition did not allow him to go on stage. According to the Western media, the three-minute walk to the main stage of the competition was too much for Sobral, and he sang, standing on a small platform in the middle of the hall.

This year, the representative of Portugal won quite confidently. In the competition, which, thanks to last year's triumph of the Ukrainian singer Jamals was held in Kyiv, 26 applicants competed for the crystal microphone. Unlike most previous competitions, the results of the voting by the jury of the participating countries were announced first, and the results of the audience voting were announced at the very end.

Salvador's main competitors were representing Bulgaria Christian Kostov and Italian Francesco Gabbani. But in the end, Christian took second place, and Francesco did sixth. The representative of Portugal scored 758 points, the Bulgarian - 615, and the third Moldovan group Sunstroke Project- 374. Thus, the next Eurovision Song Contest in 2018 will be held in Portugal. It is curious that the Russian singer Julia Samoilova, not allowed to Kyiv by the Security Service of Ukraine, rejoiced at Sobral's victory.

Despite all the scandals associated with the contest, Eurovision still took place. On May 13, the grand final was held in Kyiv, at which the name of the winner was finally announced. They became the Portuguese Salvador Sobral with the song Amar Pelos Dois.

After the announcement of the results, Salvador took the stage and performed the song along with his sister Luisa, who was also the author of the composition that brought victory to Portugal.

Not much is known about El Salvador. Born in Lisbon, comes from an ancient Portuguese family. In 2009, he took part in the local "Star Factory". He studied psychology at the university, but then decided to take up music closely. He has a heart defect and needs urgent surgery. Western media even report that they will have to do a transplant. They tried not to strain Salvador - and they allowed him to come to the very opening, skipping rehearsals, and did not shine spotlights in the eyes, and allowed him to perform on a small stage so as not to tire him with the passage to the main one. Many wondered why in this case the European Broadcasting Union showed such flexibility, and why it was necessary to delegate such a sick artist who can hardly stand all the events. But for the most part, people sympathized with El Salvador and wished him victory.

The song just sings about a heart that can withstand everything and love for two. Let's hope that this artist will cope with the joy of victory and the number of congratulations from the fans of the contest - Portugal has the most active fans. But the competition will go to this country for the first time. The best result before that was 6th place in 1996.

Recall that this year Russia did not participate in the competition. Yulia Samoilova was supposed to leave us, but the Ukrainian authorities decided that she had violated local law by allegedly illegally entering the territory of Crimea for the World of Sports and Kindness festival and refused to let her in. Our country rejected the proposal of the European Broadcasting Union for Yulia to perform remotely, as well as to replace her with another artist, because this is contrary to the rules of the competition. But it was decided that Samoilova would represent Russia at the Eurovision next year. In the meantime, the organizers are threatening us and Ukraine with sanctions. Square - for the fact that she interfered with politics in the show, to us - for the fact that the head of the delegation did not come to official meetings. The decision on the sanctions (monetary fine or suspension of the country for three years) will be announced on June 12 this year.
