BIRTHDAY: Zlata Ognevich is 33 today I may have said this before, but some songs in our favourite TV show always benefit from a prop. It doesn’t have to be a big prop, even a blindfold can suffice at times. Sometimes, it does need to make an impression. […]
BIRTHDAY: Muriel Day from Ireland is 77 today* Some of you may only have ever seen contests in glorious colour. And the quality seems to get higher every year. A pity the songs don’t always follow suit. Although we take colour for granted now, it wasn’t always the […]
#FRA: Destination Eurovision Semi-final One On Saturday, France Télévisions launches its hunt for a representative for Tel Aviv. As we’ve reported, 18 acts will perform over two semi-finals. That’s nine in each semi-final. The top four from each semi-final will make it through to the final on Saturday […]
BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd from Morocco is 61 today This is a birthday that I enjoy posting, as it’s unique in so many ways. I guess lots of songs are unique, but this one is special. So I apologise to any other performers who have birthdays today. Why is […]

BIRTHDAY: Chris Kempers from Germany is 54 today You wait ages, and then two duos come along at once. One’s a classic song with an instant hook and star potential. And the other is from Chanée & N’evergreen. I joke of course. Every song has its fans, and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chanée from Denmark is 40 today It had to come soon enough that one half of a duo has a birthday. Do you think you can spot which half it is today? After all, I’ll wager some people had difficulty telling them apart in 2010. Yes, it […]
BIRTHDAY: DJ BoBo from Switzerland is 51 today If you’re a fan of the history of our favourite TV show, you’ll first know that there were contests before 2000. You’ll also know who won when. Take 1956 for example, when the late great Ms Lys Assia won. She […]
