#BIRTHDAY: Ann-Christine from Finland is 77 today Is there a language you’d love to hear more of? Maybe one that used to appear every year, but has now been supplanted by another language (cough English cough)? With no free language rule, it gave the contest a far less […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kristina Hautala from Finland is 73 today Do you think it’s true that some languages sound easier on the ear than others? French songs did well in the early days, before English came along. Other languages, however, never really seemed to hit the mark. Today’s birthday girl […]
