#BIRTHDAY: Miki from Spain is 26 today We mentioned that some countries have gone from mediocre participants to challengers to a victory. There are of course countries that have gone the other way. They try and try, but their broadcaster relies on past glories. It could be argued […]
#BIRTHDAY: Patricia Kraus from Spain is 59 today Do you wonder why some songs don’t do better? Perhaps, for example, it could be severe make-up. Or a mischievous green shawl that is eventually cast aside. Or backing guitarists trying to get in on the act. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amaia from Spain is 24 today As you’ll know, we pick performers from all years when we celebrate birthdays here. You’ll relish the black & white of some, but equally you’ll enjoy the “4K HD-ness” of the more recent contests. As it happens, today we go all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Beth from Spain is 41 today Do you admire countries for sticking to their own languages? Or do you wish they can all sing in a tongue you can understand? Our friends in Spain have – almost without exception – always had their national language in their […]
#BIRTHDAY: Estíbaliz Uranga from Spain is 70 today Do you remember the 1970s? An interesting decade when the whole of Europe eventually went colour, replete with the garish outfits. Thankfully, some countries went through that stage fairly quickly. In 1975, we had a mix, and it looked like […]
#JESC22: Eurovision Ireland reviews… Part 1 The 2022 Junior Eurovision Song Contest is fast approaching, so the EI team has looked at each of the 16 entries and voiced our opinions on which songs might do well. Here are our thoughts on the songs from North Macedonia, Poland, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paloma San Basilio from Spain is 72 today We often get massive stars taking part in our favourite TV show. They may not be household names worldwide, but it doesn’t mean they’re not respected in their sphere. Today’s birthday girl Paloma Cecilia San Basilio Martínez is a […]
#BIRTHDAY: José Velez from Spain is 71 today There’s often a debate over whether a national final or an internal selection is the right way to go. A national final, and you run the risk of the public picking a novelty. Our friends in Spain generally went down […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ruth Lorenzo from Spain is 40 today There must be some golden rules when going on to a Eurovision stage. For example, always make sure you know where the camera is. Or that you’re wearing clean underwear. One rule I think performers should stick to is always […]
#BIRTHDAY: Blas Cantó from Spain is 31 today If you recall, it seemed like there were hundreds of performers who didn’t get the 2020 gig but were then kept on for Rotterdam 2021. Actually, the number was far less than that but it’s a nice thought to hold. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nina from Spain is 56 today Are you a Spanish fan? Or just a fan of Spanish music? You must have been gutted in May when, in any other year, RTVE could have taken home the big prize. Fate is a cruel thing. But over the years, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sergio Dalma from Spain is 58 today As you’ll know, the rules of our favourite TV show impose a strict three minute on sing duration. It has been more in the past, but when one 1950s singer had a song that lasted in the region of five […]
#BIRTHDAY: Soraya from Spain is 40 today There are some unlucky countries out there. They try and try and just can’t quite get that elusive next win. Sometimes their best entries for years are up against real fan favourites. Or they just pick the wrong year. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Massiel from Spain is 75 today So soon into August, and we have a winner. Yes, some of you may know that there were contests before 2000, and some countries you might laugh at now have managed to win it in the past. It’s not all Sw*d*n […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lucía Pérez from Spain is 37 today How are you on the free language rule? Do you think it’s fine, or should countries sing in their own languages? Some countries singing in their own languages have done well lately, but it’s not always been the case. However, […]
