#BIRTHDAY: Danijel Popović is 70 today The country that was Yugoslavia made 27 appearances in our favourite TV show. As we know, it’s successor states have had varying fortunes since they took its place, but Yugoslavia itself wasn’t without success. For years, when they showed up it was the […]
This year, the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest featured a record breaking twenty languages. Eurovision Ireland will be looking at all the languages that have been performed at the Contest, since 1956, in our latest #AtoZ. Today, we continue the series with Slovene, Spanish, and Sranan Tongo. Slovene Slovene or Slovenian is […]
This year, the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest featured a record breaking twenty languages. Eurovision Ireland will be looking at all the languages that have been performed at the Contest, since 1956, in our latest #AtoZ. Today, we continue the series with Serbian, Serbo-Croatian, and Slovak. Serbian Serbian is the standard […]
#BIRTHDAY: Zdravko Čolić is 74 today It’s important to remember that our favourite TV show started around the middle of the 20th Century – it’s not just a thing invented in the 2010s for people to show off posh frocks and much arm waving. And with 20th Century […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emilija Kokić is 57 today Do you have a favourite Eurovision band, particularly one from the 20th Century? A few have won the big prize, but far fewer than you would think. In the late 1980s, the then Yugoslavia got the wind in the sails and sent […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vlado Kalember is 71 today Time to slip in a little duet for your viewing pleasure. It comes from that mythical country Yugoslavia. And goes to show that, for a time at least, a larger entity can function perfectly well. Back in 1984, Yugoslavia (remember them?) was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Doris Dragović from Croatia is 64 today It may come as a surprise to some people out there, but there were Eurovision Song Contests in the 20th Century. A tall story you might think, but definitely true. Today it’s the birthday of one of those performers for […]
#BIRTHDAY: Baby Doll is 62 today Being on first can be that double-edged sword. You get your performance out of the way (meaning more time at the bar), you get a nice fresh audience, and who knows, people have won from the front before. Casting your mind back […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tajči from Yugoslavia is 54 today A home entry! Excellent. This one comes from a country warm enough for the home participant not to worry about wishing they’d gone somewhere more exotic. The home broadcaster was a joint effort between a national and a regional TV company. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tereza Kesovija is 85 today There’s a term called false-flagging. It’s when you come from one country but do stuff internationally for another. There’s nothing wrong with it, and many Eurovision stars have done such a thing. Maybe even your favourite ever performer. Today’s birthday girl Tereza […]
