#BIRTHDAY: Maxine from the Netherlands is 54 today Our friends in the Netherlands have had five wins. Yes, five. And they’ve had lots of non-wins too. It lots of guises. Soloists, groups singing in imaginary languages. And, of course, the odd duo. Today’s birthday girl Maxine (née Gonny […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jasmine from Finland is 48 today Eurovision always loves a good sing-a-long song. Those mumbly arty Swedish types have their place, but nothing can beat a jovial singer with a big hearty smile. And a guitar. OK, the guitar is an optional extra, but when you get […]

Sometimes they don’t quite do as well as their first appearance. Some even come back after a win. Today’s birthday boy Κωνσταντίνος Χριστοφόρου/Constantinos Christoforou […]
#BIRTHDAY: Leon from Germany is 55 today Would you ever like to be the cause of a rule change? As we know, our favourite TV show often tweaks its rules. But these are not because of one person – they’re usually to change voting, or maybe due to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elisabeth Andreassen is 66 today We have a real treat for you today. A legend of our favourite TV show. A massive name in singing circles, particularly in the Nordic world. And a former winner. And it’s definitely not Carola. Today’s birthday girl Elisabeth Gunilla Andreassen (née […]
