BIRTHDAY: Alekseev from Belarus is 26 today We all know that staging is key. Yes, it’s a song contest, but sometimes a song needs a costume change or a slick dance routine to squeeze a few extra points out of the jurors and televoters. In 2018, when we […]
BIRTHDAY: Lars Berghagen from Sweden is 74 today You wait ages for a Swede, and then two come along at once. To be fair, they have been participating since 1789, so we have rich pickings on the birthday front. Today’s birthday Lars Nils Berghagen, known to his friends […]
BIRTHDAY: Nathalie Pâque from France is 42 today You may think that the winners are the most important things to come out of the contest. They are one of them, obviously, but sometimes you have to look deeper to pick out other important aspects. Today’s birthday girl brought […]
BIRTHDAY: Kikki Danielsson from Sweden is 67 today I know we’re in the midst of another Eurovision Song Contest, but the birthdays just keep on coming, And today we have one for a home entrant! I always say that second is best for the home entrant to finish. […]

BIRTHDAY: Anjeza Shahini from Albania is 32 today Cast your mind back, if you can, to when your country first took part in the Eurovision Song Contest. A time for optimism and hope. Who knows, that win or good placing was just a few voters away. Naturally, there […]
BIRTHDAY: Mary Hopkin from the UK is 69 today What’s it like to be runner-up? If you’re the host country, then it’s ideal. If you think you’re in with a shot of winning, then you’ll always be ‘first loser’. Alternatively, there are times when winning is more embarrassing […]
