#HALL OF FAME: Welcome to inductees seven and eight Here at Eurovision Ireland, we want to celebrate those most illustrious people who have made our favourite TV show the thing that it is today. In each edition, we’ll induct two performer or personalities from somewhere in Eurovision land. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Benjamin Ingrosso from Sweden is 24 today We all love a Swedish song. Well, for some fans the contest begins and ends with the country of the yellow cross on a blue field. Admittedly, they have put some choons forward in their time (Sweden that is, not […]
During the duration of the Paralympic Games, which are been held in Tokyo, we will be taking a look at a different Eurovision country each day. Today, on the final day of the Games, we are looking at Cyprus’ best Eurovision entry, after they finished in joint 57th […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lea Sirk from Slovenia is 32 today Many years ago, there was a country called Yugoslavia. By the 1990s, it had started to dissolve and before too long its former constituent republics started entering in their own rights. These nations have, to be said, had mixed success. […]
#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 […]
It has been announced that Ireland’s 2018 Eurovision Song Contest entrant, Ryan O’Shaughnessy, will be returning on Saturday night to deliver the Irish jury votes. Ryan achieved 16th in the Grand Final, in Lisbon with 136 points – with the song “Together”. Here is one of the many […]
#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. We’ll try not to get involved with those contoversies here, save to say it makes our contest all the richer. In 2018, today’s birthday girl Ю́лия Оле́говна Само́йлова/Julia Olegovna Samoilova finally got […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eleni Foureira from Cyprus is 34 today When that all important voting starts, often some five hours after the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest begins, do you find yourself switching allegiances? When it comes down to the last votes, are you willing one country to […]
#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. Just occasionally, there’s an event outside their control that overshadows what they’re there to do. We won’t dwell on the incident that befell today’s birthday […]
