BIRTHDAY: Senit from San Marino is 40 today We’re looking at a country that tries today. And it’s a country that’s become associate with one act. No, as of this year, make that two. But the Most Serene Republic hat is San Marino has – occasionally – sent […]
BIRTHDAY: Raf from Italy is 60 today Those Italians, eh? They send so many decent songs, and never really seem to care. Sanremo is their music competition of choice, and Eurovision doesn’t always get massive ratings. But you ask any Italian star, and they’d give their finest gnocchi […]
BIRTHDAY: Seyyal Taner from Turkey is 67 today Yesterday we had one of the most famous singers to fail to score in our favourite TV show. Just like buses, here comes another one. And just like Jahn, this performance will leave you out of breath. Back in 1987 […]
BIRTHDAY: Jahn Teigen from Norway is 70 today You thought yesterday’s birthday was a big one – maybe more for the song than the performer. Well, today, we have a titan in the world of our favourite TV show. An absolute legend. And, perchance a contender for the […]
BIRTHDAY: Alice from Italy is 65 today The Big Five often get criticised for being able to make the final and – according to some – put in substandard songs. Every country has off years, and of course even the Big Five can put in crackers of songs. […]
BIRTHDAY: Yardena Arazi from Israel is 68 today It’s time for another contender for Mr/Mrs/Ms/Mx Eurovision. Each country will have them, and when you’ve got someone who’s hosted a contest, and performed in a contest, they must be in with a chance of their national title. In 1976, […]
BIRTHDAY: Kati Wolf from Hungary is 45 today There’s a word that is used in a derogatory fashion to describe some songs that elements of the fan community think are wonderful and will win the contest by 800 points. I’m not going to use that word here. Today’s […]
BIRTHDAY: Piero Esteriore from Switzerland is 42 today It can be nice to be the first at something. If you’re Lys Assia, for example, no-one can take that first ever contest win away from you. If you’re Céline Dion, no-one else has won dressed as a shuttlecock. I […]
BIRTHDAY: Anabela from Portugal is 43 today It’s an all points west birthday today. Our favourite TV show regularly moves around Europe’s quarters, showing us the delights of the varied continent. Back in 1993, the contest was in Millstreet and had never been further west. It was years […]
BIRTHDAY: Safura from Azerbaijan is 27 today Do you ever wish for more ethnic songs in Eurovision? By ethnic I mean songs reflecting the traditional music of the country it represents. Or do you like music you’re familiar with? Our friends in Azerbaijan have often used songwriters from […]
