BIRTHDAY: Ruslan Alekhno from Belarus is 38 today We’re going east today. Not that far east, but east enough to be in a different time zone. Lovely Belarus has never won the big contest, but they’re getting there slowly. In all Belarus’s years, they’ve only performed in Belarusian […]
BIRTHDAY: Nana Mouskouri representing Luxembourg is 85 today False flagger alert! If you’re offended by people from one country singing for another, you may wish to look away. But there is a very good reason today. Today’s false flagger’s own country didn’t début for another 11 years. That […]

BIRTHDAY: Jeronimus Milius from Lithuania is 35 today Sometimes a song comes along and I don’t know what to say about it. It’s not a winner. It’s not a notorious last place. And many of you might have even forgotten it was ever entered. In other news, after […]

BIRTHDAY: Charlotte Perrelli from Sweden is 45 today One of the golden rules of our favourite TV show is this: If you win, leave it at that. You’ve reached the pinnacle, so don’t try again. It’ll end in tears. Unless you’re Seán Sherrard. Cast your mind back to […]
