#BIRTHDAY: Yohanna from Iceland is 35 today I know, we keep picking songs from the 20th Century that no-one remembers, and aren’t impressive. Well I’m hopefully redressing that balance today with a song from the 21st Century. That’s right. It’s recent. If you can call 2009 recent. And […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Karine Strøm from Norway is 74 today That thing when you think a song title hasn’t been used before, but in actual fact it has. Take a certain Azerbaijani singing in Rotterdam a few years ago. She sang about a Dutch temptress. Maybe she didn’t know that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cliff Richard from the UK is 85 today For some Eurovision performers, that appearance on the hallowed stage might not quite be the highlight of their career. Important, definitely, but not the pinnacle. Today’s birthday boy Sir Cliff Richard (né Harry Rodger Webb) probably needs no introduction. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Andromache is 31 today It’s only natural that you can’t remember every song that had graced a Eurovision stage. For every Waterloo there’s a [insert song here]. In other news, our friends in Greece and Cyprus often swap singers, and there is of course nothing wrong with […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margaret Berger from Norway is 40 today Life can imitate art sometimes. For example, I’ll plant this thought: Who do you think I once saw in a food court in sunny Malmö eating a burger? In other news, I’ve found a very powerful song for your birthday-related […]
Maria Iside Fiore from Italy, has turned 21 years old today. Maria represented Italy, at the 2017 Junior Eurovision Song Contest – finishing in 11th place, with “Scelgo”. Happy Birthday, Maria! Let us know what you think about the Junior Eurovision Song Contest – either in the comments […]
#BIRTHDAY: Séverine is 77 today Is it good to be a false flagger? Would you do it to deprive a native singer of the Eurovision gig? Or would you see it as bringing along your own expertise to a country that needs some help? Certain countries are/have been […]
