BIRTHDAY: Maria Guinot from Portugal would have been 74 today Even though most countries like to use English to sing in at our favourite TV show, it’s nice to hear something that’s truer to its roots. Portuguese was a very misunderstood language until 2017. But if you were […]
BIRTHDAY: Tanja from Estonia is 36 today Should a song be all about singing, or should it be about the whole package? That is, the singing, the dancing, the costumes, even the camera work? Our winner this year was all about the song, but it’s not always the […]
BIRTHDAY: Heddy Lester from the Netherlands is 69 today Dutch? You want Dutch? Of course you do. They’ve got lots to choose from, and four five winners. So it’s nice to dip into the Dutch pool of birthday talent from time to time. Today we go back to […]
BIRTHDAY: RiskyKidd from Greece is 25 today Have you noticed an increase in collaborations? No? Well, maybe not necessarily in Eurovision circles, but definitely in the wider world of music. But what happens in music eventually permeates to Eurovision. And in 2014 Greece entered a collaboration between Freaky […]
BIRTHDAY: Anabel Conde from Spain is 44 today Second, eh? Is there a more annoying position? Well, if you’re the home entry, then maybe not if you’re the host broadcaster. But if you’ve travelled half-way across Europe with high hopes, then finishing second and finishing sixteenth are about […]

BIRTHDAY: Esther Ofarim representing Switzerland is 78 today Picture the scenario: you’ve heard of the Eurovision Song Contest and think you’re good enough to compete. But your nation can’t or won’t participate. What do you do? You find a country that will. It’s happened many times. Czechs singing […]
BIRTHDAY: Ivo Linna from Estonia is 70 today Hooray! A big birthday! And a legend’s. Well, we think he is anyway. It’s from the time when a certain Baltic nation started to show us what it could via the gift of song. It’s a very important thing in […]
BIRTHDAY: Linda Williams from the Netherlands is 64 today We continue our brief sojourn into the world of Benelux today. It was once a powerhouse of song, but since got overtaken by places further north, east and south. However, with so many song to pick from, there are […]
