BIRTHDAY: Michael Ball from the UK is 57 today Runner-up day today. There’s been plenty of them through the years. Only one year – to my knowledge – has no runner-up. It’s a good place if you’re a host broadcaster’s entry for many reasons. And back in the […]
Here is the first of our “Languages” articles, where we examine the use of different languages used at the Eurovision Song Contest. Up until the late 1990’s, it was normal for the home language to be used by participating nations. The first language sung at the inaugural Eurovision […]
RTVE have confirmed via their website, that Spain will indeed be participating in Gliwice this year. We previously announced that the news would be confirmed or not through “RTVE Responde” on Sunday. It is currently unknown how the Spanish entry for Gliwice will be selected. This however, may […]

BIRTHDAY: Jean-Karl Lucas from France is 37 today Do you remember 2018? We were in sunny sunny Lisbon. Everyone was tipping certain countries to win. Or do badly. They got some predictions right. And some, well, not quite as right. As with every year recently, the Big Five […]

BIRTHDAY: Nucha from Portugal is 53 today What do you now? It’s more Lusitanian singing that was largely ignored by the juries of Europe. I’ll admit that not everything Portugal did was good, but they deserved better some years. Back in 1990, Eurovision was a simpler affair. We […]
