BIRTHDAY: Tonina Torrielli from Italy is 86 today Even though we were looking forward to a riotous cavalcade of quality song in Rotterdam in May, looking at the present isn’t what we always do here. It’s good to look at the past. After all, there were contests in […]
BIRTHDAY: Stig van Eijk from Norway is 39 today Are you getting over the Eurovision that never was yet? Look at this way, there will be no Post Eurovision Depression in late May. And the best way to assuage any depression you might be feeling now is to […]
BIRTHDAY: Ovidijus Vyšniauskus is 63 today Not so long ago, eyebrows were raised when our favourite TV show was extended to 25 countries. Can you imagine that? A one-night spectacular with 25 songs. That would be seen as piffling these days. Of course, where there are 25 songs, […]
BIRTHDAY: Jamie-Lee from Germany is 22 today Yeah, it’s a dark day in our world. But life goes on. Things will be back to normal next year, with no virus to spoil our fun. As we know, six countries per year make it straight through to the Grand […]
BIRTHDAY: Tako Gachechiladze is 37 today Do you ever wonder what becomes of Eurovision stars after they’ve had their three minutes of fame? I’ll wager some of them go back to working in [insert coffee shop chain here]. Maybe some of them end up catching norovirus whilst working […]
BIRTHDAY: Linda Lepomme from Belgium is 65 today What’s your view in which is the best contest ever? Was it 2019? Is it another one from the 21st Century? Or is it one from longer ago? There’s a school of thought that the best contest of all time […]
BIRTHDAY: Kim Floor from Finland is 72 today For your viewing pleasure in these exceptional times, we’re going back to a simpler age. A time of cosy contests all over in one short evening. A time of two jurors per country and two jurors only. And a time […]
BIRTHDAY: Izhar Cohen is 69 today Everyone loves a winner. In fact, if you leave it at one appearance and one win, you’ll always be a winner. But why stop at one win? You could win twice. It’s been done. But it’s also very high-risk. Many have tried, […]
BIRTHDAY: Chingiz from Azerbaijan is 29 today Do you play any contests on repeat? Are you convinced that the xxth Eurovision Song Contest was the best one ever? Maybe your favourite in 2019. It has its high points, but I have other ones I like more. Talking of […]
BIRTHDAY: Roko from Croatia is 20 today Eurovision attracts singers both young and old. We’ve had nonagenarians on stage. And mere children. Well, not the children any more, but never forget our show’s history. Today we have a singer who was towards the younger end of the spectrum […]
