Penso em ti, eu sei - Adelaide

Even the biggest Eurovision fans may not remember Adelaide, who represented Portugal in 1985 with the song 'Penso em ti, eu sei'. At least, that's what I think, because I have no recollection of this song at all - and by 1985 I was already watching the Contest for six or seven years.

Maria Adelaide Mengas Matafome Ferreira was born on 23 September 1959 in Minde, Alcanena (Portugal) and started as a rock singer with the hit 'Baby Suicida' in 1981. When she competed in Eurovision, she ended up in 18th place in a field of 19 competitors. Since then, she became an actress on television having roles in many Portuguese soaps. In 2015, she competed in the Portuguese national final for Eurovision for the second time, with the song 'Paz'. On this occasion she did not win.
