#BIRTHDAY: Laura Rizzotto from Latvia is 27 today Nationality is a funny thing. Some countries taking part in our favourite TV show insist on someone who only hails from where they’re representing. Others have a more laissez-faire approach. Today’s birthday girl Laura Rizzotto is of Latvian extraction, but […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ieva Zasimauskaitė from Lithuania is 28 today Do you feel for some countries. They try and try and try, and get absolutely nowhere. Of course, any country can win, but for some there is that reputation they can find very hard to shake off. In 2018, our […]

#BIRTHDAY: Alekseev from Belarus is 28 today When you’re on that Eurovision stage, it can sometimes help if you have a gimmick. It could be a big prop or humorous sidekick cavorting around the stage. And sometimes, you might onlt want to reveal that gimmick at the end. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Saara Aalto from Finland is 34 today Our friends in Finland have had a very spotty time at Eurovision. Only one win in xxx years, and very little else in the higher positions. It matters not, especially to the fans. They will love certain countries/acts/songs, however well […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mélovin from Ukraine is 24 today If you want to get ahead, you need a showstopper of a song. It’s obvious, isn’t it. But how to stop that show? With a song that you can’t help falling in love with? Or with a bonkers stage show? Both […]
#BIRTHDAY: Julia Samoylova from Russia is 32 today Eurovision can be controversial. We all know that.

#BIRTHDAY: Jessika Muscat is 32 today It’s always interesting how some countries choose their singers and songs. Some go internal, or there’s the bog standard national final. Or you could be innovative. Like a certain event in 2018. Our friends in San Marino tried something different in 2018. […]
#BIRTHDAY: SuRie from the UK is 32 today Sometimes performers aren’t always remembered for their three minutes of singing on that hallowed stage.

#BIRTHDAY: Gromee from Poland is 42 today Our friends in Poland ‘get’ the Junior version of our favourite TV show. Back-to-back wins are testament to that. But the big one is a different kettle of fish. As you’ll know, Poland started its Eurovision story with a runner-up spot. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gianna Terzi from Greece is 40 today Our friends in Greece have an interesting relationship with our favourite TV show. Participants since 1974, they’ve had their ups and downs. The ups have mainly been in the 21st Century, but it’s not always been the case. The win […]
