#BIRTHDAY: Mihai Trăistariu from Romania is 49 today Some countries have flirted with that first win, but it’s never actually happened. But as we often say, past form is no guide to future form. In the early part of the 21st Century, it looked like Romania could achieve […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nicola from Romania is 57 today Have you ever know what friends are for? Yes, we’ve picked an actual song lyric to open today’s birthday homage. We all need friends, but in some quarters friendships are getting a little strained of late. Our favourite TV show was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luminița Anghel from Romania is 55 today Do you think that contests are coming and going quicker than ever? Yes, we’re now in October, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since JJ won in Basel/Basle. It was in 2005 – yes, 20 years ago – that today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alex Florea from Romania is 34 today Don’t you just love duets. Two singers for the price of one. A variety of voices. Maybe even something for everyone. And the antics of one can offset the skill of the other. Today we have a duet, part of […]

#BIRTHDAY: Elena Gheorghe from Romania is 40 today When the weekend comes, what do you like to do? Do you start it with gin, tonic and lime? Do you hit the gym? Or do you work until late into the evening because you love your job so much? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ester Peony from Romania is 32 today What do you think of stage shows? Should they be kept simple, in order to emphasise a song? Or is there anything wrong in a kickass dance routine or novel staging? Both can work. Just look at the contrast between, […]
Eurovision thrives on drama, metaphor, and poetic lyrics but what if we took them WAY too seriously? In this series, we’re hilariously misinterpreting iconic Eurovision hits, twisting their messages into completely misguided scenarios. Today’s victim? Cezar’s It’s My Life(2013, Romania). Originally a dramatic operatic declaration of independence, we’re […]
#BIRTHDAY: Monica Anghel from Romania is 54 today Our friends in Romania haven’t had it that good of late. After a good run of form for most of this century, we’ve now only seen them in the Grand Final once since 2018. There was even a time when […]
The semi finals are over for another year, so that means it’s time for one of the most popular annual articles Eurovision Ireland publishes – it’s time to find out which countries have had their qualification rates improved the most by reaching the Grand Final of the Eurovision […]
