#BIRTHDAY: Maria Haukaas Storeng from Norway is 42 today Performing last in the Grand Final at our favourite TV show can be daunting. You have to watch 20+ other acts perform, doing their best for their respective broadcasters and nations. And by the time you come on, the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Justyna from Poland is 49 today You know that thing where you have to follow something outstanding. You’re going to be compared to that good thing, whether you’re better or not. And if you are good, people might still overlook you. Our friends in Poland almost had […]
Volha Satsiuk from Belarus, has turned 28 years old today. Volha represented Belarus, at the 2003 Junior Eurovision Song Contest – finishing in 4th place, with “Tantsui”. Happy Birthday, Volha! Let us know what you think about the Junior Eurovision Song Contest – either in the comments below […]
#BIRTHDAY: Olia Tira from Moldova is 33 today Our friends in Moldova have not yet won, but we all know they really put in the hard yards/metres every year, and that win might not be that far away. They have had a third-place finish, and two weeks in […]
Anahit Adamyan from Armenia, has turned 18 years old today. Anahit represented Armenia, alongside Mary Vardanyan, at the 2016 Junior Eurovision Song Contest – finishing in 2nd place, with “Tarber”. Happy Birthday, Anahit! Let us know what you think about the Junior Eurovision Song Contest – either in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Silvia Night from Iceland is 39 today As you’ll have seen from our birthday feature, all kinds of song have been on that stage. Some are well-crafted songs that might be slow-burners. And then there are the others… Today’s is a uniquely crafted song that attracted all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Peppino di Capri from Italy is 82 today As we’ll all know, we should be in Italy next May for a riotous cavalcade of quality song. One thing that’s amongst the highlights is the home entry. Does the host broadcaster want to go for a double, or […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ann-Christine from Finland is 77 today Is there a language you’d love to hear more of? Maybe one that used to appear every year, but has now been supplanted by another language (cough English cough)? With no free language rule, it gave the contest a far less […]
BIRTHDAY: John Karayiannis from Cyprus is 27 today There are still plenty of countries that have never won the big prize at our favourite TV show. Some have come close, but can’t quite find that mystery ingredient to push them over the line. Banger or ballad? Male or […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tal Sondak from Israel is 45 today Several countries in our favourite TV show don’t actually lie in Europe proper. That’s the beauty of Eurovision – we have Europeans and Mediterraneans (and some others too) all as one big happy family. Our friends in Israel are not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Geta Burlacu from Moldova is 47 today Europe is a rich continent, full of countries of all shapes and sizes. Plenty of big ones have won, as well as a few little ones. For some of these smaller nations, Eurovision is an ideal place to sell yourself. […]
BIRTHDAY: Şebnem Paker from Turkey is 44 today The running order is always an interesting topic of debate. Is there a best spot to perform in if you want to win? Are there truly graveyard slots? Could a good song win wherever it appears in the running order? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amila Glamočak from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 55 today Are you a fan of a ballad? They can be more heartfelt than a banger, but they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. There are many out there that are darn good, and should be in people’s all time […]
#BIRTHDAY: Laura Rizzotto from Latvia is 27 today Nationality is a funny thing. Some countries taking part in our favourite TV show insist on someone who only hails from where they’re representing. Others have a more laissez-faire approach. Today’s birthday girl Laura Rizzotto is of Latvian extraction, but […]
#BIRTHDAY: Andy Abraham from the UK is 57 today The United Kingdom is having a torrid time of things in the 21st Century. The once dominant nation, with 22 Top Three finishes in 42 appearances in the 20th Century, has managed one Top Three finish since 2000. Maybe […]
