#BIRTHDAY: Marian van de Wal from Andorra is 53 today We have some interesting matching of nations. Latvia and Burkina Faso. Ukraine and Congo-Brazzaville. And there’s today’s singer. Maybe not quite as exotic, but just as noteworthy. Today’s birthday girl Marian van de Wal is Dutch by birth, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Lena Philipsson from Sweden is 57 today Now we know a certain country with a blue and yellow flag has excelled in our favourite TV show. You may even think they could win this coming year. And no, I’m not talking about Palau. The truth is that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefan Filipović from Montenegro is 36 today The semi-finals are a curious thing. Draw is everything if you have to compete in one. It’s true that ten songs will qualify, which give you a better than average chance of making it through. But it does help if […]
#BIRTHDAY: Françoise Hardy is 79 today Over the years, our favourite TV show has had more than its fair share of big stars. Not those that have one bite at the cherry, and mainly stick to a certain circuit of events year in, year out. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Wrs from Romania is 30 today If you were to take part in our favourite TV show as a singer, would you use your own name, or would you use a pseudonym. A stage name, if you will. It’s proved quite successful down the years from the […]

#BIRTHDAY: Zlata Ognevich from Ukraine is 37 today It’s only right that politics shouldn’t really play a part in our favourite TV show. They often almost mix, but thankfully it’s mainly kept a lid on. However, the odd singer here and there has dabbled in politics. One such […]
