Just to compile the information shared thus far into one post:
1. THE SHOW WILL BE BROADCAST ON TV GLOBO & MULTISHOW. YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A GLOBOPLAY ACCOUNT.
The show will be broadcast on the Globoplay channels TV Globo (a free TV channel in Brazil) and Multishow (a paid for channel in Brazil). Confirmed here.
We can expect to see the programme listing here by Wednesday 1st May/Thursday 2nd May, and on the day, there should be a banner on Globoplay.
Reports are saying Globoplay will have an open signal (so the show will be available to watch without being logged in), but to be safe, you can create a free Globoplay account to gain access to TV Globo here. Alternatively, you can sign up and pay to gain access to Multishow here with the ‘Globoplay + canais’ subscription.
Please note: You will be asked to provide your telephone number as the final step of the sign-up process. The input field seems to restrict the number of digits you can enter, which may present an issue with some international telephone numbers. There should be an option to skip entering your phone number and set it at a different time. If - for any reason - the option to skip doesn't work and results in you being presented with an error page, people have reported that doing a password reset seems to resolve the issue.
2. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO VIEW/WATCH TV GLOBO OR MULTISHOW WHEN LOGGED INTO YOUR GLOBOPLAY ACCOUNT YOU WILL NEED TO USE A VPN THAT HAS BRAZILIAN SERVERS.
Due to copyright restrictions and geo-restrictions, you may find yourself unable to watch TV Globo or Multishow even after creating your free account or setting up a subscription. In this instance, you will need to use a VPN that enables you to connect to Brazilian servers in order to watch.
Commonly recommended VPNs include NordVPN and Surfshark due to the range of servers available and fast download/upload speeds. Both of these do charge a small monthly fee, but come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you sign up for either now and do not wish to use them beyond the broadcast, you can cancel and get your money back.
Not sure how to set up and use a VPN? The setup guides (covering various operating systems/devices) are here for NordVPN and here for Surfshark.
On the day of the broadcast, ensure you have connected to a Brazilian server/set your location to Brazil via your VPN.
You can check that everything’s good to go in advance by connecting to a Brazilian server/setting your location to Brazil via your VPN, logging into Globoplay, and trying to watch TV Globo (or Multishow, if you’ve purchased the subscription plan). If you can watch then you’re good to go.

OTHER SUGGESTED METHODS OF WATCHING LIVE FROM OUTSIDE OF BRAZIL (SHARED BY OTHERS & UNTESTED):
A. WITH A SLING TV SUBSCRIPTION.
If you have a subscription to Sling TV, it looks as though you may be able to watch via that subscription. Instructions/guidance on how exactly to do that here.
There also looks to be a free 3-day trial available for new customers.
NOTE: Sling TV is geo-restricted to the US.
B. WITH A DISH SUBSCRIPTION THAT INCLUDES GLOBO.
If you have a subscription to DISH that includes Globo, it looks as though you may be able to watch via that subscription. Instructions/guidance on how exactly to do that here.
C. VIA MEGACANAIS.COM.
@InterlacedGeekhas shared this link to Mega Canais. It looks as though it lets you watch whatever the Multishow channel (the paid/subscription channel) is broadcasting.
NOTE: This link was shared alongside advice to '[access] it on a desktop computer with a block ads [browser] addon because there are a lot of annoying ads. [It] works on phone too, but with lots of ads.'
D. VIA YOUTUBE STREAM.
Several people have shared this link to a YouTube livestream that is restreaming TV Globo.
Don’t be. You will be able to watch it afterwards, one way or another – it’s not just going to disappear into the ether. As with everything, it will likely end up getting shared around. There will also be official ways (yet to be confirmed) to watch via streaming services, I'm sure.

At the time, I thought Amazing probably would have been a prime choice for such a single. It probably would have done well especially with the general public. It reminisced ROL and Beautiful Stranger. At the same time, I can see why she didn't want to release that as a single being it sounded too much like those two songs I mentioned. Impressive Insant probably wouldn't have done as well commercially, but it did manage to do well on the club charts and it was a fav for fans.
