#BIRTHDAY: Adrian Lulgjuraj from Albania is 41 today Don’t you just love our favourite TV show for its masses of different styles?

#BIRTHDAY: Amandine Bourgeois from France is 42 today It’s an old adage that anyone can won our favourite TV show. If the song’s good enough, it’ll shine through. And past performance is no guide to future performance. Take France for example, only going and finishing second in Rotterdam. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Emmelie de Forest from Denmark is 28 today Are you always able to pick a winner when you first hear it? Or does it baffle you completely when [insert country here] wins? Obviously, if you could pick a winner, every year, you’d be as rich as Crœsus. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Zlata Ognevich from Ukraine is 35 today It’s only right that politics shouldn’t really play a part in our favourite TV show. They often almost mix, but thankfully it’s mainly kept a lid on. However, the odd singer here and there has dabbled in politics. One such […]
#BIRTHDAY: Andrius Pojavis from Lithuania is 37 today As we know, any country can win first prize at our favourite TV show. They could be finishing in the top three every year, or they could have that one wayward result that buckles the form. Our friends in Lithuania […]
