BIRTHDAY: Iva Zanicchi from Italy is 80 today Certain contests are known for more than just the songs. It could be a stage invasion, someone falling over when trying to present a trophy. Or it could be something that rules didn’t expect. In 1969, four countries tied for […]
BIRTHDAY: Daniel Diges from Spain is 39 today Eurovision is usually a very happy affair. You can feel the love when the acts are out on stage. The crowd all wants them to succeed, so there’s lots of cheering and smiles for every act. Of course, some people […]
BIRTHDAY: Marta Roure from Andorra is 39 today You have to admire the smaller members of our Eurovision family. They must have something, as they usually conscript performers who don’t even come from those countries. That’s some pulling power. However, back in 2004 our friends in Andorra débuted […]
BIRTHDAY: Aisha from Latvia is 36 today Do you ever go to the contest? If so, are there countries you wouldn’t visit because they’re too expensive, too distant or just too loony? Are you would you be happy with anywhere? Our friends in Norway have a very high […]

As we’ve discussed, Greece’s success has mainly been 21st Century, when someone gave ERT/NERIT/ERT […]
BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd is 62 today If you were the only person ever to represent your country, how would you feel? Would you want your country to send participate again, which would sully your unique record? Or would you be happy that you’re unique? There is only one […]
BIRTHDAY: Lara Fabian is 50 today Every now and then, a song comes along that you could call a slow burner. It has no bells and whistles. It has no fancy costumes. It’s an honest song sung, well, honestly. It does well, but maybe could have done better. […]
BIRTHDAY: Sirusho from Armenia is 33 today There are plenty of countries that have never won, and we all love them for trying. One day soon, we’ll get another début winner. Who will it be? More to the point, if you go to the shows, where would you […]
