#BIRTHDAY: Scott Fitzgerald from the UK is 73 today Do you like a close contest? That show where more than one country can win, even going down to the last vote. It’s less likely these days, with bigger scores and more countries. The close contest did happen several […]
#BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Faniello from Malta is 40 today Think of a small country. Now think of a smaller one. Is it Malta? It’s not always lumped with the European microstates, but it isn’t exactly large. And if it won the big prize at the Eurovision? It would easily […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mija Martina from Bosnia and Herzegovina is 37 today Our friends in Bosnia and Herzegovina have never won, and as they’re sitting contests out these days, it could be a long while before we ever see a contest in Sarajevo. For many years they were avid participants. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Constantinos from Cyprus is 44 today Do you like it when singers try several times? Sometimes they can win on a second attempt. Sometimes they don’t quite do as well as their first appearance. Some even come back after a win. Today’s birthday boy Κωνσταντίνος Χριστοφόρου/Constantinos Christoforou […]
#BIRTHDAY: Boaz Ma’uda from Israel is 34 today The last contest to actually take place was in Israel. It was a good old affair, amongst the warmth of the eastern Mediterranean. Were you there? It was as a result of Israel’s fourth win 42 attempts. Not a bad […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sophie Garel from Luxembourg is 79 today Are there any countries you miss? Those that have taken part in our favourite TV show in the past, but sit on the sidelines these days? Luxembourg might spring to mind. With five wins, they were once a powerhouse of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anastasia Prikhodko is 34 today It’s home entrant time again. A home entrant who was also not quite a native of the country she was representing. Are you confused yet? Well, it’s happened more than once, and can nicely spice up a contest. In 2009 we’d all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Björn Skifs from Sweden is 74 today Over the years, many acts have tried on more than one occasion to win the top prize in our favourite TV show. Even places like Sweden, a country which has so much talent that suits the Eurovision Song Contest. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Géraldine Gaulier from Switzerland is 75 today We love vintage here. There is more to Eurovision than someone clucking in ultra high definition. There were days when we had nothing more than respectable black & white, and an altogether more demure look. Today we go back to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hanna Pakarinen from Finland is 40 today Would you want to be the home entrant if you were in a Eurovision Song Contest. You have no issues with the host country’s culture, but you won’t get to travel to somewhere exotic. On the plus side, the crowd […]
