#BIRTHDAY: Sibel Tüzün from Türkiye is 52 today Here’s something we thought we’d never see. It’s a performer from one country singing in another with whom there was no love lost for a long time. These days, most European countries generally get on, apart from the obvious. But […]
#BIRTHDAY: Seyyal Taner from Türkiye is 71 today Do you want someone who made an impression when she took part in our favourite TV programme? One who’s performance will leave you out of breath. Back in 1987 we were in plucky little Belgium for the biggest contest ever […]
#BIRTHDAY: Arzu Ece from Türkiye is 60 today Look towards the eastern Mediterranean, and you’ll spot a large country that used to take part with gusto in our favourite TV show. They may not have always had a good contest, but they were relied upon to bring a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kenan Doğulu from Türkiye is 49 today Let’s be honest – our friends in Türkiye/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 after the 2012 shows. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Can Bonomo from Türkiye is 36 today It’s always sad when a country decides to sit out our favourite TV show. We had a now-absent country yesterday, and we have another one today. Back in 2012, we saw the last entry to date from Türkiye/Turkey. We want […]

#BIRTHDAY: Ajda Pekkan from Türkiye is 77 today What’s the oddest subject of a Eurovision song you can think of? Many things have been covered, mostly about falling in love with someone, or falling out of love with someone. Today we have a song about fuel. No, not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Semiha Yankı from Türkiye is 65 today Much as I hate to say it, but Sweden has been involved in more than its fair share of good contests over the years. Not just ones they’ve won, but also ones they’ve hosted. I go on (and on) about […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hadise from Türkiye is 37 today Let’s cast our minds back to former years, to countries taking a long-term absence from our favourite TV show. They could be financially constrained, disappointed with results, or there could be other darker reasons. Our friends in Türkiye/Turkey used to be […]
#BIRTHDAY: Buket Bengisu from Türkiye is 46 today Our friends in Turkey/Türkiye are taking a sabbatical at the moment, and many of you out there miss them. They brought something slightly exotic to proceedings, and their language – for many years anyway – was alluringly different. Just over […]
