Let’s face it, for all the complaining that the Big 5 have it easy at the Eurovision Song Contest, it’s actually not so glamourous. Sure they get an automatic spot in the final, but for many years this didn’t translate into placing on the scoreboard! In this new […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tamara Todevska is 35 today A new month and we would normally be in the post-Eurovision period, and maybe suffering from post-Eurovision depression. But no Eurovision and no depression, right? So how to get over PED? Well, we can look back at those heart-warming performances, such as […]
#STAGGY: Review of 2020 Part II Our top pundit Staggy has views on some of the 2020 crop of songs. If you missed his take on four of them, you can it HERE. He looks at four more. First he turned to Latvia’s Samanta Tīna. Maybe the official […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kenan Doğulu from Turkey is 46 today Let’s be honest – our friends in Turkey are sorely missed from our favourite TV show. They added that bit of exotica to proceedings, and were gunning for another win when they abruptly stopped coming along in 2012. Over the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Claudia Beni from Croatia is 34 today Back in the 1990s (remember them?), when that pesky new crop of countries wanted in to our favourite TV show, we always thought some of these new breed would win very soon. Just take 1994 for example, when two of […]
Daði Freyr and his band Gagnamagnið didn’t get the chance to prove they can win Eurovision 2020, but they certainly conquered the British public with their Icelandic Eurovision entry ‘Think About Things‘. Last week , Think About Things entered The Official BBC Top 100 on the 43rd position and this […]
#BIRTHDAY: Wyn Hoop from Germany is 84 today Do you ever get confused by song titles? You expect a song in a certain language because of the title, and you get something else? Songs in Serbo-Croat with English titles for example. Today’s birthday boy Wyn Hoop (né Winfried […]
STAGGY: Review of 2020 Part I Our friend Staggy has been mulling over the choices made by the broadcasters around Europe (and beyond). We normally can’t keep him quiet, but for now he insists that a picture can paint a thousand words. But what did he think of […]
BIRTHDAY: Nadine Beiler from Austria is 30 today Some countries have had a patchy relationship with our favourite TV show. Take Italy for example. They took over a decade out, and have been pushing for a win since. Then there are our friends in Austria. It’s been a […]
We mentioned yesterday about whether certain countries could host our favourite TV show, and the headache some broadcasters may face if they ever won. The Mediterranean’s happiest rock has never hosted the big ESC, but they do have two JESCs under their belt. There are a lot of […]
