Top 7 (second week) – Great Portuguese Hits

Inês Herédia and Margarida Carriço were eliminated. André Cruz was once again in the bottom 3. The first name revealed was Margarida Carriço's, but was never told that she had been the person with the fewest votes. Margarida Carriço was probably the most shocking elimination, because she was in the Top 5, in the first live show, and she had never been in the bottom 2 or 3 until her elimination.
