#BIRTHDAY: Jon Lilygreen from Cyprus is 33 today We have a false flagger today. Now that term can sometimes be derogatory, but it doesn’t need to be. Each broadcaster can make any rules they want, within reason. So if they want someone not from their country, fair enough. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Fredi from Finland is 78 today Eurovision songs are occasionally branded – by muggles – as nonsense. Meaningless lyrics, daft arm-waving dance routines, and reinforcement of national stereotypes. Some of this may be true, but we love them nonetheless. Even if the title may make you think […]
#BIRTHDAY: Braulio from Spain is 74 today It’s always a curious mix of countries in our favourite TV show. We have the 21st Century newbies, to those that have racked up 50 appearances or more. So it follows that, occasionally, we pick songs from times before you, dear […]
