History Music / SalvadorSobral

* IllBoy: Was affected with a serious heart condition around the time of the 2017 contest, so he had to miss out the first two rehearsals in Kyiv and send his sister to perform in his stead in order not to be away from his medical team in Portugal for too long. He underwent a successful heart transplant in late 2017.

* SelfDeprecation: In ''Film/EurovisionSongContestTheStoryOfFireSaga'' he appears in a cameo, singing his winning Eurovision song as a busker in the streets of Edinburgh.

'''Salvador Vilar Braamcamp Sobral''' (born 28 December 1989), known professionally as '''Salvador Sobral''', is a Portuguese singer.

Their victory also came after a string of failed Eurovision entries in UsefulNotes/TheNewTens --having not qualified for a final since 2010-- which partly motivated them to skip the contest altogether in 2013 and 2016.

* BrotherSisterTeam: "Amar Pelos Dois" was written and composed by his sister. The TriumphantReprise when he won Eurovision was done as a duet between them both.

He is also outspoken - whilst he is a strong philanthropist, his attitude has been known to rub other acts the wrong way, as he has openly spoken out against manufactured music, refused to hear visiting entries in the 2018 contest Portugal hosted, and called its winner, "Toy" by Netta, horrible as a song, so it was no surprise he would give her the trophy.

* MessyHair: One of his more prominent physical features.

* IncestSubtext: In the new song [[https://youtu.be/Fm9g8GvtWSs Só Um Beijo]], him and his sister (and songwriter) Luísa sing a beautiful duet... about falling in love with each other after sharing a kiss. In [[https://youtu.be/19y9QjojEB8 Prometo Não Prometer]] they duet again, singing about not being able to stop loving each other or to forget each other. It could be argued that singing [[https://youtu.be/z5VUti3kVIo Amar Pelos Dois]] as a duet is also eyebrow-raising

Sobral is perhaps best known for representing his native Portugal in the 2017 Series/EurovisionSongContest with the song "Amar Pelos Dois" [[note]]English: "To love for the both of us"[[/note]], which gave the country their first-ever victory in the competition since they began competing in 1964. Their victory also came after a string of failed Eurovision entries in UsefulNotes/TheNewTens --having not qualified for a final since 2010-- which partly motivated them to skip the contest altogether in 2013 and 2016.
