BIRTHDAY: Linas Adomaitis from Lithuania is 43 today Yesterday we had a country who had never won. Well, sort of. Now today we have a country with a record that’s been a little more patchy since day one. Our friends in Lithuania haven’t had the success of its […]
BIRTHDAY: Vesna Pisarović from Croatia is 41 today There’s a long list of countries that have never won our favourite TV show. Will one of them win this year in Tel Aviv? Or will it be Sweden somewhere dull? However, there is one country that claims a win, […]
BIRTHDAY: Freddie from Hungary is 29 today Are you a fan of national finals? Are you religiously watching them through the whole ‘season’, from Albania to Sweden? Do you pick certain countries to watch, even though they may have many many shows? Or do you prefere it to […]
