"Coisas de nada" - NonStop
"Don't say anything, don't ruin the night with meaningless things"
The Portuguese Final was held at the Lisbon Congress Centre on March 10th, hosted by Isabel Angelino, Jorge Gabriel, Helena Coelho, Daniel Oliveira, Helena Ramos & Eládio Climaco. The winner was chosen by 50% televoting, 50% "expert" jury which included Simone de Oliveira who represented Portugal in 1965 & 1969 and Tozé Brito who represented Portugal in 1978 as member of the group Gemini. Vânia de Oliveira won the televote while NonStop were the favourites of the "expert" jury. As there was a tie at the end of the voting, the votes of the "expert" jury took precedence.
