#BIRTHDAY: Gunvor from Switzerland is 50 today Imagine how you’d feel. You’re on the Eurovision stage, you’re giving it everything, and things don’t go quite as well as expected. This is all after a long road which included winning your national final in December the previous year with […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mélanie Cohl from Belgium is 42 today Another day, another birthday, and today it comes from plucky little Belgium. You know the place – capital of Europe and made up of a conglomeration of various communities that sometimes speak to each other. Of course, with a country […]
#BIRTHDAY: Koit Toome from Estonia is 45 today It’s often nice when we see people having another go at winning European singing’s biggest prize. After all, plenty of people have tried on several occasions to become that song. Back in 1998, we saw today’s birthday boy Koit Toome […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vili Resnik from Slovenia is 60 today Is the free language rule a good thing? We have seen a clutch of good results where singers have stuck to their own tongue, but we know there’s one language that predominates above all others. Of course, in 1998 there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michael Hajiyanni from Cyprus is 45 today If you know your history, our friends in the United Kingdom of stuff were once masters of our favourite TV show. They didn’t win every year, but they put up a good showing. They even hosted more then their share […]

#BIRTHDAY: Danijela from Croatia is 52 today Opening a contest. Is there anything more daunting? Well, being on second or sixteenth is no fun as those positions have never won. However, if you get it over with, then it means you can hit that free bar earlier in […]
#BIRTHDAY: José Cid from Portugal is 81 today I mention from time to time that we love someone who tries. Even though they’ll never be the continent’s favourite. Often through no fault of their own. Actually, today’s birthday boy did really well for his native Portugal, and his […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dana International from Israel is 54 today There have been around 50 soloist winners of our favourite TV show, so that averages out at about one winner per week. Luckily, we have a solo winner today. But who? It’s a winner from the 20th Century, who set […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anna Maria Jopek from Poland is 52 today You must remember those debut performances that mark out a country from the rest. Like Serbia winning at their first attempt as an independent nation. Or Switzerland being the only other country to win on a debut. So after […]
