#BIRTHDAY: 6 Nov – Jeangu Macrooy from the Netherlands is 33 Ah, the home entrant. So much pressure, and yet so little. Although some countries have been daring enough to win a home contest (or two), we’re pretty sure it’s often the host broadcaster’s wish not to win […]
#BIRTHDAY: 5 Nov – Nodi Tatishvili from Georgia is 40 That thing when you get a well-performed duet at our favourite TV show. In theory, you get two able performers, who bounce off each other, giving us the best of both worlds. It’s odd that more duets haven’t […]
#BIRTHDAY: 4 Nov – Malena Ernman from Sweden is 56 Yes, we pick on that powerhouse with the blue-and-yellow flag today. You’re probably already sitting up to see which lucky Swede it is. Well read on. Today’s birthday girl Sara Magdalena ‘Malena’ Ernman had a go at that […]
#BIRTHDAY: 3 Nov – Lulu from the UK is 78 Do you remember when the UK of stuff were good at Eurovision? Yes, since we hit the 21st Century their fortunes have waned a little, aside from a certain performance in Torino/Turin. But in their prime, the BBC […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 Nov – Vasil from North Macedonia is 42 Those performers selected for 2020 but ended up performing a year later. They were a patient bunch. And some must have thought they’d blown their chance when the 2020 contest was cancelled. Today’s birthday boy Васил Гарванлиев/Vasil Garvanliev […]
#BIRTHDAY: 1 Nov – Jelena Tomašević from Serbia is 43 We’ve got another home entrant here. They will always occupy a special place in Eurovision lore, as there has about 70 of them. A small number have won, and a number have done the opposite. Maybe it’s best […]
#BIRTHDAY: 30 Oct – Maja Tatić from BiH is 56 Do you have a favourite part of what used to be Yugoslavia? A part you have a soft spot for, and always cheer on if/when they take part in our favourite TV show? One ex-Yugo nation that is […]
#BIRTHDAY: 29 Oct – Aistė from Lithuania is 49 It’s not often that you get a song with the word thrush in it. Unless it’s a jingle for an advert for some medical products I guess. And when a bird is mentioned, it’s usually something more showy, like […]
#BIRTHDAY: 28 Oct – Vanja Radovanović from Montenegro is 44 Many countries have never won the big prize in our favourite TV show. Some seem to have difficulties getting through semi-finals, even though they try – really try. Montenegro is a beautiful pocket-sized country. It produces some very […]
#BIRTHDAY: 27 Oct – Tanel Padar from Estonia is 46 Do you remember the start of this century/millennium? The bug was behind us and we had a whole new one hundred/one thousand years to look forward to. And of course our favourite TV show carried on. One year […]
