Finalists

João Couto is from Vila Nova de Gaia. For him, the hardest part of Ídolos was group stage. He wasn't seen as an Idol for many people, due to his look, but he improved a lot during the competition. He was announced as the winner on August 23, 2015. He is the fifth male winner, after the six seasons. Couto had never been in the bottom 2 or 3 until the Finale.
Sara Martins is from Barcelos. She did not audition, but she entered in the competition in the Theatre Round. She was asked to sing twice, in order for the judges to be able to qualify her and she sang "Creep" in a second performance. The judges all made huge compliments on her performance. She was in the Bottom 3, alongside Gonçalo and Albert, in the Top 11 round, and she was in the bottom 2, alongside Rita, in the Top 5 round.
Paulo Sousa is from Coimbra. He had already participated on the second season of Factor X, but he was eliminated before the Finals. On the Top 9 round, the judges said he was too comfortable with his fan base that his performances were not improving. That night, he was in the bottom 3, but the following week, he gave one amazing performance, making the judges happy with his evolution. He was in the bottom 2, in the Semifinals Round, alongside Luís.

Top 9 - Dedications

Mário Pedrosa is the fourth contestant to the leave the competition. Many people consider this one of the most shocking eliminations of the season, because Mário had never been in the bottom 3 in the first three live shows and many considered him a potential finalist. Rita Nascimento was also in the bottom 3 and Paulo Sousa was in the bottom 3 for the first time.
