With each of the first 11 juries, the lead changed, but then Portugal took over creating a bigger and bigger lead. In the end they made the perfect comeback, winning for the third times with a margin of 37 points over United States who took the silver, while the bronze went to Bosnia-Herzegovina. It was their 7th and 6th medal in total. Australia and Liechtenstein rounded out the top 5 - the first time ever for Liechtenstein.

Portugal is one of the founding members of Global Music and got off to a strong start with 3 top 10 finishes in the first 4 editions. Their next top 10 result came in GM11 when they went all the way to the top of the podium with David Fonseca. Following that first victory Portugal struggled a bit, but did manage to reach the top 10 on a handful of occasions. However, Portugal did not qualify for the final from GM36 to GM45, but when they finally made it they did so in style taking home their second gold medal with Rosa Negra in GM46. Portugal then participated two more times before taking a break for 3 editions. And now on their comeback Catarina Pereira strikes gold for Portugal. Well done Portugal, Catarina Pereira and José!
