"With an extraordinary vocal range, Nonstop have been fighting for their place in the sun for the past five years, without ever giving up".

Music & Lyrics by: José Manuel Afonso, Elvis Veiguinha

Nonstop, consisting of Andrea, Katia, Liliana and Rita, were picked out of 1,500 participants to win the first TV musical talent show ‘popstar’, which was broadcast in 2001 by SIC. Their first album went gold, and they immediately released a second one, which is still on sale.

Nonstop see themselves as an international band, able to represent Portugal globally. With an extraordinary vocal range, Nonstop have been fighting for their place in the sun for the past five years, without ever giving up.

Their victory in the Eurovision selection contest was not a big surprise and, since they believe in their vocal abilities, they consider themselves among the favourites at the Eurovision Song Contest. For five years, this group of friends has surprised and delighted Portugal, and is now ready to conquer Europe and, who knows, the world.

Keep your eyes and ears open for Nonstop!

Nonstop are a Portuguese manufactured girl band. Groan. Their second album is still on sale, which is a way to put positive spin on a comment that it should really be pulped. I believe they held a note once, but then a gust of wind blew it away..boom boom. I naively thought that the ugly one would be able to sing, but that turned out to be a no-no too. This song is one long tedious musically inept chorus, which goes nowhere but into the sewer. I'm really starting to get annoyed with Portugal. I think I'll boycott sardines.

"Throw it back"

Godzooky

One of the members of non-stop spoke excitedly about the giant green baby dragon: "Godzooky was the child of the giant monster known as Godzilla. Friendly and inquisitive, he followed his friend Pete around the world on the Calico with his scientist uncle, seeking out stories of other baddy monsters". She burbled on non-stop "Big green Dad rescued the day with regular monotony, being called either by the humans using a signalling device, or by Godzooky himself. Frankly Godzooky was rubbish, but Godzilla was way cool".

 
  

Coisas de nada (things of nothing)

Gonna make you dance
Gonna make you smille
I'll make you stop thinking sad things for a while
And everything waits when you're dancing in style
Nao digas nada
Somos livres de ficar
Nao estragues a noite
Com coisas de nada

Juntos, tao juntos
Os dois pela noite
Podemos rir e falar
E dancar outra vez

Gonna make you dance
Gonna make you smille
I'll make you stop thinking sad things for a while
And everything waits when you're dancing in style

Deixa as lagrimas
Tambem tu podes rir
Esta tudo ai
Guardado dentro de ti

Dancar na noite
Esquecer o tempo
e ouvir a musica
A chamar outra vez

Gonna make you dance
Gonna make you smille
I'll make you stop thinking sad things for a while
And everything waits when you're dancing in style

Nao digas nada
Nao digas nada
Nao estragues a noite
Com coisas de nada

Gonna make you dance
Gonna make you smille
I'll make you stop thinking sad things for a while
And everything waits when you're dancing in style

I'm gonna make you dance
Make it with style

“The song is a homage to the Eurovision Song Contest, and especially the 1980s,” said Elvis Veiguinha, the composer of ‘Coisas de nada’, performed by Portuguese girl band Nonstop. “The 80s are coming back so the song was written in that style.
