#BIRTHDAY: Beth from Spain is 43 today Do you admire countries for sticking to their own languages? Or do you wish they can all sing in a tongue you can understand? Our friends in Spain have – almost without exception – always had their national language in their […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sertab from Türkiye is 60 today Many countries have very inconsistent results. For years they could finish way down the scoreboard. And then they win. It makes that win all the more sweeter. It came as a shock to a lot of us when our friends in […]
Today, the 2024 Summer Olympics continue and we have added a Eurovision twist to the proceedings. We will be celebrating the best of Eurovision participating countries, ranked by their gold medal success at the Summer Olympics, up to and including Tokyo 2020. Türkiye rank 31st overall – 41 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alf Poier from Austria is 57 today Eurovision is full of wonder. I often wonder why Schlager is so popular. Or why Carola is so popular. Or even why we never see Monaco anymore. But what also makes me wonder sometimes is why certain countries pick certain […]

#BIRTHDAY: Rita Guerra from Portugal is 56 today You have to admire our friends in Portugal. It took them 167 attempts to get the win in 2017. But before Salvador did his stuff in Kyiv, those Lusophones have had some cracking little songs. We can’t put our finger […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mickey Joe Harte from Ireland is 50 today Do you ever feel for those countries who were once the ones to watch, but are now struggling a little? We can all think of them, if we go back far enough. Yes, things do move on, but it’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Esther Hart from the Netherlands is 53 today There are some times when I wish that more than one country could win our favourite TV show. Not always because there are two or more songs that are worthy. But because it’s been so long since some countries […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mija Martina from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 39 today Our friends in Bosnia and Herzegovina have never won, and as they’re sitting contests out these days, it could be a long while before we ever see a contest in Sarajevo. For many years they were avid participants. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mando from Greece is 57 today In a contest like Eurovision, it often happens that we get different songs with the same title. But a similar song title doesn’t always guarantee a similar finish. In 2003, we got the first Eurovision song with the title ‘Never let […]
