#BIRTHDAY: Bacchelli from Spain is 73 today No country currently taking part (that’s previously won) has been waiting longer for their next win than Spain. It’s over 50 years since they topped the rankings, a year after their previous win. But at least they’re trying, with some near […]
Some would say that the secret of the success of a song is its publicity. If you can get your song into the public conscience, then you’re well on the way to doing well. Such was the pathway followed by today’s birthday boy بلال حسني/Bilal Hassani. Towards the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carola from Sweden is 59 today We know you like our birthday feature. Well this is one you won’t want to miss. Sweden is – in some eyes – the pinnacle of Eurovision-ness. So when a Swedish birthday comes along, we’re going to celebrate it. Today’s birthday […]

#BIRTHDAY: Tinkara Kovač from Slovenia is 47 today As you know, we often drone on about people who keep trying. Some of them make it to the final week/fortnight many times, and still want more (cough Monetta cough). Some have a couple of attempts as a national final, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Donatan from Poland is 41 today We have a very unique situation today. It’s custom for the named act to be on stage during a Eurovision performance. As far as we know, there has been one occasion where the named act had to take a step back […]
