#BIRTHDAY: 14 Apr – Anita Simoncini from San Marino is 27 If you keep an eye on the wider Eurovision family, you’ll know about the Junior version. We’ve already seen some Junior stars make it to the big contest, and one day we may see someone who wins […]
#BIRTHDAY: 13 Apr – Mando from Greece is 60 In a contest like Eurovision, it often happens that we get different songs with the same title. But a similar song title doesn’t always guarantee a similar finish. In 2003, we got the first Eurovision song with the title […]
#BIRTHDAY: 12 Apr – Knut Anders Sørum from Norway is 50 Yesterday we had a winner. But as we know our favourite TV show is a competition, and for every winner, someone has to prop up the other end of the table. The song that comes last can […]
#BIRTHDAY: 11 Apr – Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands is 32 Anyone can win our favourite TV show. A number of countries had had dismal results before they won. You know who they are. And countries who won in the dim and distant past can surprise us all […]
#OBITUARY: Bo Halldórsson has died aged 74 Icelandic singer Björgvin ‘Bo’ Halldórsson, known in Eurovision circles for his performance in the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest, has died after a short illness, shortly before his 75th birthday. A well-known star on the Icelandic music scene for many years, he […]
#BIRTHDAY: 10 Apr – Loïc Nottet from Belgium is 30 Do you feel for Belgium? A fully-formed country, but two broadcasters that keep to their own markets – except for Eurovision of course. And, I understand, there are very few channels of communications between the two. I’m sure […]
#BIRTHDAY: 9 Apr – Vesna Pisarović from Croatia is 48 There’s a long list of countries that have never won our favourite TV show. Will one of them win this year in Vienna? Or will it be somewhere dull? However, there is one country that claims a win, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 8 Apr – Dulce from Portugal is 57 When you think of some countries, you may think of a style of music associated with them. Highly-produced pop for somewhere Nordic for example. Or a Balkan ballad. Or fado perhaps. Fado is a solely Portuguese thing, even though […]
#BIRTHDAY: 7 Apr – Noëlle Cordier from France is 82 Your eyes won’t be deceiving you today. Yes, it’s fun and games in black & white. But don’t let that put you off. Some of the songs from those monochrome days are easily as good as some we […]
#BIRTHDAY: 6 Apr – Maria Rådsten from Sweden is 60 Our friends in Sweden sometimes get a bad rap for sending the same sort of over-produced stuff to Eurovision year after year. Yes, it sometimes pays dividends, and they are one of the few countries that seem to […]
