#BIRTHDAY: Marianna from Greece is 68 today As we often say, there were Eurovision Song Contests before the year 2000. Can you imagine that? A 20th Century contest? Well, some of them even churned out good songs. Can you believe it? Well today’s song comes from the 1980s. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mando from Greece is 57 today In a contest like Eurovision, it often happens that we get different songs with the same title. But a similar song title doesn’t always guarantee a similar finish. In 2003, we got the first Eurovision song with the title ‘Never let […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michalis Rakintzis from Greece is 66 today Things got a little odd at the turn of the century. We were trapped in Nordic/Baltic Europe after time in the eastern Med. Countries were taking it in turns to be relegated. And we had some interesting acts. When we […]

#BIRTHDAY: Elina Konstantopoulou from Greece is 52 today Have you ever thought what the stars of Eurovision have to go through on the big night? Apart from the pressure of representing their country that is. Well, just spare a thought if you’re the last to sing in the […]
🇺🇸 #USA: Eurovision performers from across the pond Whilst Eurovision is distinctly a European, Mediterranean and Australian affair, our friends across the Atlantic have occasionally been called in to help countries with their songs. T celebrate the USA’s main party day, we’ve picked some memorable performances by American […]
#BIRTHDAY: RiskyKidd from Greece is 28 today Have you noticed an increase in collaborations? No? Well, maybe not necessarily in Eurovision circles, but definitely in the wider world of music. But what happens in music eventually permeates to Eurovision. And in 2014 Greece entered a collaboration between Freaky […]
