#BIRTHDAY: Copycat from Belgium is 56 today Along with the serious songs – the ballads, the rock songs, the raps – we have the occasional beast known as a novelty song. The often divide opinion, especially from the purists who want a song contest to be a song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emly Starr from Belgium is 65 today Our friends in Belgium are a curious bunch. Plucky as ever, and taking part since the first contest (1956 in case you were wondering), and only ever had one win. It’s a nice arrangement that the broadcasters for the two […]
#BIRTHDAY: Roberto Bellarosa from Belgium is 28 today We all want our own country to succeed. And we often want other countries to succeed too. It could be because they enter the music you like year in year out. It could be because they’re an underdog. It could […]
#BIRTHDAY: Laura Tesoro from Belgium is 26 today Do you enjoy good national final? No, not that Melodifestivalen thing – I’m talking about good national finals. I jest of course. Every national final will have good songs and, erm, other songs. Our friends in Belgium flit between televised […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stella Maessen is 69 today Those people who keep coming back for me. Is i good because they know what they’re doing? Or is it bad because they’re doing someone else out of a chance? Today’s birthday girl Stella Maessen disguised her appearances a little, by only […]

As much as we love the Eurovision Song Contest, there is something in the old adage that some things just don’t translate very well. In a musical coming together of different countries and cultures, what sounds poetic and elegant in one language might not quite have the same […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sennek from Belgium is 32 today Our friends in Belgium have only ever had one win, despite competing in our favourite TV show since the year dot. They’ve had a couple of near misses, but of the seven originals, that second won proves elusive. With Belgium, there’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Iris from Belgium is 26 today Do you think that those semi-finals are brutal? We’ve all had discussions on why a certain song qualifies over another song. After all, every act in every semi-final is trying their hardest to make the leap from weekday sideshow to main […]
