Information about the singer

Portugal does not have an easy task in the Eurovision Song Contest. It is one of the countries which ended up in a bad position more than others. The probably reason for that is not the quality of the songs, furthermore it is due to disregard of the other countries. Especially in the 80s their contributions were fabulous.
And that's exactly the point where the girls group 'Nonstop' would like to continue. They look quite similar to their country colleagues from 1982 Doce with "Bem Bom". Even though the song doesn't sound Portuguese at all, it also has the typical Scandinavian sound from the 80s. Good votes from the Scandinavian countries will be granted! The video-previews have been judges by a big Swedish newspaper already and the Portuguese song was placed under the top 5 in the semifinal! Let's hope it will be so.
