Over successive episodes she performed Beyoncé's "Listen", "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson and as arranged by Leona Lewis, Evanescence's "My Immortal", Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger", Tina Turner's "GoldenEye", Madonna's "Like a Prayer", Whitney Houston's "When You Believe", Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (also as arranged by Leona Lewis), and Mariah Carey's "Endless Love".

Sérgio Rosado called her "absolutely perfect", and his brother Nélson said she was a "raw talent (…) a very good singer (…) a brilliant performer."

Over the coming year Azevedo made media appearances, performed live on several TV shows, and began recording her first album.

Azevedo moved in the same year to live with relatives in London, where she enrolled to study vocal technique and music technology and production.

In early 2010 Azevedo was invited by SIC, a Portuguese TV channel, to be the main singer on a memorial record for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, performing renditions of We are the world (Band Aid), The Earth Song (Michael Jackson), and Imagine (John Lennon).

She had already been asked by Augusto Madureira to sing his song at this year's Festival da Canção, ahead of a prospective bid to represent Portugal at Eurovision.
