#BIRTHDAY: Rykka is 37 today Do you like it when we see people from outside Europe (or, since 2015, Australia), taking part in our favourite TV show? Do you want to see the best singers, wherever they’re from? Or should they just be European? Of course, non-Europeans have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Véronique Müller from Switzerland is 75 today Never forget your heritage. Yes, we know there are people out there who may think the Eurovision Song Contest only started in 2012. But it has a rich history going back nearly 70 years. In the early 1970s there was […]
#BIRTHDAY: DJ BoBo from Switzerland is 55 today If you’re a fan of the history of our favourite TV show, you’ll first know that there were contests before 2000. You’ll also know who won when. Take 1956 for example, when the late great Ms Lys Assia won. She […]
#BIRTHDAY: Barbara Berta from Switzerland is 59 today Contests come and go, and sometimes songs that you took an interest in seem to pass out of memory, even though they may have popular at the time. Back in 1997 – yes, there were contests in the 20th Century, […]
#HALLOWE’EN: Eurovision goes bump in the night Hallowe’en and Eurovision. Does it scare you? Do you tremble on 31 October when you get a sinister knock at your door? Are you relieved when you find out it’s only the local kids going trick-or-treating? Or do you leave the […]

German speakers singing in Italian, Dutch speakers singing in French, English speakers singing in German. Our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paola from Switzerland is 72 today Our friends in Switzerland are in a curious situation. They have lots of languages to choose from, and they can confuse the average casual viewer by entering in a tongue we don’t always expect. Today’s birthday girl Paola Felix (née Paola […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jane Bogaert from Switzerland is 55 today It’s a scary fact that there will be more and more participants in our favourite TV show who were born after 2000. Does that make you feel old? It does me. Having these people who never knew the 20th Century […]
#BIRTHDAY: Annie Cotton is 47 today We always say anyone can win our favourite TV show. All it needs is a perfect storm of stuff, and even the country that normally stays in the semi-final can do well. I say this because of what our friends in Switzerland […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gjon’s Tears from Switzerland is 24 today As we know, past performance is no guarantee of future performance. As saw in Torino/Turin, a certain country who were runners-up in 2021 finished 24th in 2022. One country that could be worth watching is Switzerland. Places in the last […]
