#BIRTHDAY: Kristian Kostov from Bulgaria is 21 today It’s trailblazer birthday time. Are you excited? Is it because they were the first participant for their country? Or because they were the first winner for their country? It’s neither. Now we’re firmly established in the 21st Century, we will […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mariza Koch from Greece is 76 today When you look at how some countries are performing these days, it’s often good to see how they got to where they are. It can be surprising. When you think of Greece, you might think of the 21st Century when […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rykka from Switzerland is 35 today Do you like it when we see people from outside Europe (or, since 2015, Australia), taking part in our favourite TV show? Do you want to see the best singers, wherever they’re from? Or should they just be European? Of course, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sarah McTernan from Ireland is 27 today You have to feel for Ireland. Remember those heady days of the 1990s when RTÉ were being slowly and painfully bankrupted. Irish singers could do no wrong and it was a good time. Fast forward to the 2010s and it’s […]

#BIRTHDAY: Jakob Sveistrup from Denmark is 49 today We all love our Eurovision stars for their music, but many have other strings to their bow. That is, outside of the music industry.

#BIRTHDAY: Eleni Foureira from Cyprus is 34 today When that all important voting starts, often some five hours after the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest begins, do you find yourself switching allegiances? When it comes down to the last votes, are you willing one country to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mika Newton from Ukraine is 35 today We often pick up on the gimmicks used to give your song that extra push. Those things that make your average viewer sit up enough to pick up their telephone and wote for you. Occasionally, there are times when you […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mike Moran from the UK is 73 today Do you like the old duet? You know the type, where the two protagonists really get on with each other, and display real chemistry. That’s as opposed to the two that stand toe-to-toe and just shout at each other. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cristina Scarlat from Moldova is 40 today If you were lucky enough to get to the big Eurovision stage, what would your gimmick be? You only have three minutes to impress the juries and viewers, so it has to be instant. And memorable. But not shocking. It’s […]
