#BIRTHDAY: Jacqueline Boyer from France is 84 today Because we celebrate all aspects of our favourite TV show here, it should be no surprise when we dig deeply into the archives. We’ve dug/digged very deeply today, back to the fifth contest. No, it’s not from 2006, but from […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alvan from France is 32 today It’s good to see something different tried at a Eurovision Song Contest. Usually anyway. Sometimes, Schlager can get a bit staid, and how many have suffered death-by-ballad? So something a bit folksy can stand out. Take 2022 for example. Our friends […]
Neighbouring cities in France & Germany have announced events, ahead of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, in Basel. Mulhouse, which is located in the Alsace region of France, is planning free public screenings of the two semi finals and the final. The screenings will be held in the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gérard Lenorman from France is 80 today Our favourite TV show has a rich history, and it’s good to dig deep sometimes, to pick out those songs you won’t here every day. They won’t feature in a Top 250, or in a Eurovision disco. But they’re still […]
France Télévisions, the French national broadcaster, have announced their representative for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, in Basel.

#BIRTHDAY: Louisa Baïleche from France is 48 today Our friends in France have been in our favourite TV show since the start. Yes, that’s even those contests in the 20th Century. Five wins in that time too, although nothing more than a runner-up spot since 1977. Over forty […]

#BIRTHDAY: Joëlle Ursull from France is 64 today It’s always a good thing when a country tries something different. There’s one thing for a formulaic song, but thinking outside the box can be a breath of fresh air. It can sometimes pay dividends too. In the 1990s, our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nayah from France is 64 today To have a national final or not. That can be the question. The fans love national finals, as it gives them a chance to hobnob with stars in a far flung TV studio or second-rate theatre. But they’re not compulsory. Our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Patrick Fiori from France is 55 today It’s always nice to hear a song that’s not English. But even more special when we hear a proper minority language. Our friends in France have gone down that road in the past with, among others, Breton and Antillean Creole. […]
