#BIRTHDAY: Ari Ólafsson from Iceland is 24 today There are, occasionally, times when you come across a song. There’s nothing wrong with it, but you know it will sadly fail at the semi-final stage. It’s not the fault of the singer, or the song. It’s just, well, stuff. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alexander Rybak from Norway is 36 today Some songs have just scraped a win, and some have won at a canter. Did you prefer the close contest, or should there by a time when a runaway runaway winner is a good thing? Occasionally a song comes along […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sennek from Belgium is 32 today Our friends in Belgium have only ever had one win, despite competing in our favourite TV show since the year dot. They’ve had a couple of near misses, but of the seven originals, that second won proves elusive. With Belgium, there’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Christabelle from Malta is 30 today As we know, for performers at least, Eurovision can be a drug. With the prospect of international fame (or infamy), many performers try to represent their country before they get there. Some even try again after they’ve done it. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alfred García from Spain is 25 today Do you want a song from the late 2010s? Do you? Really? Something that still has a bit of a shine on it? In other words, a song from 2018? Well you’re in the right place. Do you remember Lisbon? […]
Ukraine’s 2018 Eurovision Song Contest representative, MELOVIN, has shot his video for ‘Waste No Time’ – but unlike normal times, he shot it while war is taking place. MELOVIN hopes that through music, he aims to lift the spirits of people. You can watch ‘Waste No Time’ below: […]
On the lead up to the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, which is been held in Turin, we are looking back at the countries participating in the Contest and their histories – past and present. Today we continue with Ukraine’s story – in full. Ukraine didn’t participate at the […]
Tonight, Eurosong 2022 takes place as part of The Late Late Show. Two of the acts taking part – Brendan Murray and Janet Grogan, we have spoken too before. Brendan in 2017 and Janet in 2018. Ahead of tonight’s Eurosong 2022, we thought it’d be fun to have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Netta Barzilai from Israel is 29 today As we know, when the contest takes place, there has to be a winner. It may not be every fan’s favourite song. But the vocal fans only make up a tiny proportion of the people who vote, so it’s possible […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rasmussen from Denmark is 37 today Denmark. A fine country eh? Full of bacon, pastries and the odd singer. And once you get them talking in their own language, you’ll be more amazed than at any time in your life. They’ve sent acts of all shapes an […]
#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 […]
