#BIRTHDAY: Salena from Austria is 26 today

Ah, the fan favourite. We get them every year. Sometimes the fans are proven right. Sometimes they crash and burn. Sometimes they do one thing in a semi-final and, assuming they make it, do the other in the Grand Final.

Our friends in Austria sent today’s birthday girl Salena (née Selina-Maria Edbauer) along with her pal Teya to Liverpool in 2023. Their song built up quite a head of steam during the Spring, and some even thought that it could do something really big when (not if) if got through to the Saturday night. With a lot of help from the [Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe] audience they sailed through to the Saturday night shenanigans down by the Mersey. And then some bright spark decided to put them on first. Yes, a good opening song, but their chances of a win were well and truly scuppered. The juries loved it – bless ’em – but the televoters didn’t. Baffled? yeah, we were too.
