#BIRTHDAY: Tereza Kerndlová from Czechia is 38 today We occasionally talk about countries that have the old love/hate relationship with our favourite contest. While your country’s broadcaster may studiously take part every year, there are those that take the odd year out here and there. Our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Olta Boka from Albania is 33 today Do you prefer a song in a language you can’t understand? If you can speak English you’re always in luck with the songs taking part. But when a country sings in their own tongue, it’s always a good thing. In […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Haukaas Storeng from Norway is 45 today Performing last in the Grand Final at our favourite TV show can be daunting. You have to watch 20+ other acts perform, doing their best for their respective broadcasters and nations. And by the time you come on, the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Geta Burlacu from Moldova is 50 today Europe is a rich continent, full of countries of all shapes and sizes. Plenty of big ones have won, as well as a few little ones. For some of these smaller nations, Eurovision is an ideal place to sell yourself. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Paolo Meneguzzi from Switzerland is 47 today It’s always an interesting thing to watch when following the progress of fan favourites through the Eurovision season. The song gets picked and immediately there’s a buzz about it. Is the buzz just because it’s a fan favourite, or will […]
#BIRTHDAY: Isis Gee from Poland is 51 today It can be an odd thing being a false flagger. You could be up against someone from your country, who’s representing your country too. So it’s maybe less of a dilemma if your country of origin doesn’t actually take part […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ani Lorak from Ukraine is 45 today It’s worth remembering that for almost every winner of our favourite TV show, there was a eager yet slightly disappointed runner-up. In times past this role was given to the UK of stuff. However, in recent times, many countries have […]
