Initially Portuguese RTP has declared, that selection will be made with the help of the program similar to the program “Operacion Triunfo” in Spain (with its help on the Eurovision has got Beth - the Spanish representative). But broadcast of the Portuguese show was postponed and postponed, until began too late. The country had the real opportunity in 2003 not get on the Eurovision, if it not having chosen the representative as fast, as possible. At last the big Portuguese bosses have accepted a decision - let one singer (more precisely, it there was a female singer) will perform some number of songs which potentially suitable to the Eurovision, may be something from them will like by spectators. And Rita Guerra had a honour to be such singer.

She already took part in national selection competition in 1992 with a song “Meu amor inventado per mim”, but has won only the second place. But her persistent work during these ten years has born the fruits, and in 2003 Rita Guerra has been named the representative of Portugal on Eurovision Song Contest 2003. She has executed three ballads - “Prazer no pecado”, “Estes dias sem fim” and Deixa-me sonhar. Week on judgement of the executed songs has been given to spectators. Upon termination of this
week Deixa-me sonhar has been named the winner song, it have approved about 75 % of spectators. Thus, Portugal all the same could take part in Eurovision Song Contest 2003, but may be not so successful.
