#BIRTHDAY: 8 July – André from Armenia is 47 It’s début time again, and one that saw an expansion into the Caucasus – that area some claim is Europe and some claim is Asia. We’re not going to discuss that geographical question here. Today’s birthday boy Անդրեյ Սերգեյի […]
#BIRTHDAY: 7 July – Omar Naber from Slovenia is 45 Many people can claim to have a unique record in our favourite TV show. It could be their country’s only winner. Or the only male vocalist to win twice as a performer. More often – probably – are […]
#BIRTHDAY: 6 July – Jurij Veklenko from Lithuania is 36 It must be a thankless task trying to get that first win for your country. For some, it was easier than others. Many people tried before Portugal triumphed, but Serbia got it at the first go. But it’s […]
