#BIRTHDAY: Serhat is 56 today Every now and then, Eurovision yields a folk hero. They don’t set out to be renowned, but it just happens to them. And whatever they do, any criticism just bounces off them. In 2019, we saw the Sammarinese send today’s birthday boy Serhat […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kobi Marimi from Israel is 29 today You may recall last year we said that there had never been any Eurovision singers’ birthday of note (that we knew of) on this date, and then two came along at once. We celebrated one last year, so it’s the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Leonora from Denmark is 22 today Sometimes, what you need to get ahead is a really good prop. It could be because you don’t think your song can manage without one, or it could be to enhance an already top-draw song. But it’s the choice of prop […]

#BIRTHDAY: Oto Nemsadze from Georgia is 31 today Do you ever spot when countries appear to put in songs they like, rather than ones they think can win our favourite TV show? You have to admire them for staying true to themselves. In Tel Aviv, Georgia sent today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nevena Božović from Serbia is 26 today It’s good to celebrate people in Eurovision circles that blaze a trail. Those that do achieve a first. Like Milly Scott for example. Or even Lys Assia. Today it’s birthday girl Невена Божовић/Nevena Božović. Why, you may ask, did she […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tamara Todevska is 35 today A new month and we would normally be in the post-Eurovision period, and maybe suffering from post-Eurovision depression. But no Eurovision and no depression, right? So how to get over PED? Well, we can look back at those heart-warming performances, such as […]
