For the 7th edition of the Festival da Canção de Shamitri, ShamiTV decided that the festival had only 5 songs for the evaluation of other countries because would be much easier to vote and thus more votes in this National Final would been received.

But in this edition of Festival da Canção de Shamitri, the choice was very careful, only 5 songs with potential and with a little originality win a place in the greatest musical event of Shamitri.

In the end, Vanessa Mae took a secured victory with a large distance (20 points) to the 2nd place, in this case Ronan Keating & Rita Guerra.

As we did so great in Vorhota, Shamitri was already qualified for the final and was drawn as number 04. We hoped for at least a place in the TOP 14, but too our disapointement we came in 19th place with 90 points, so Shamitri back to the Semi-Finals in NSC 16.
