Fernandes sang in the second semi-final on 22 May 2008, performing 19th on the night. Her performance was similar to her performance at Festival da Canção. She again wore the same black dress, with the same backing singers as in Festival da Canção. The stage was filled with blue light, with the background showing blue waves, like in water. The backing dancers had the same choreography as before. She received a total of 120 points, coming second to the Ukraine's Ani Lorak. She received 3 points from Latvia, Malta and Cyprus, 4 points from Lithuania, 5 points from Sweden and Bulgaria, 6 points from Albania, Hungary and Serbia, 7 points from the Czech Republic, Georgia and the United Kingdom, 8 points from Croatia, Belarus and the Ukraine, 10 points from Iceland, and the maximum 12 points from Switzerland and France — receiving no points from Turkey, Denmark and Macedonia. She qualified for the final on 24 May for the first time in Portugal's history since the semi-finals were introduced in 2004. The semi-final received 1.45 million viewers, the second-most watched show that day.
