#BIRTHDAY: Kostas Bigalis from Greece is 70 today Do you remember the 1990s? It was the decade of change, when our favourite TV show went from being something nice and cosy and light entertainment, to something far more bloodbath-like. And Ireland won a lot. In one of those […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sheldon Riley from Australia is 24 today Make a statement, they say. You only get three minutes, so you have to make an impact. In days of yore, you only had the song to do that. Of course, now, there’s a whole staging that can enhance those […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rykka is 37 today Do you like it when we see people from outside Europe (or, since 2015, Australia), taking part in our favourite TV show? Do you want to see the best singers, wherever they’re from? Or should they just be European? Of course, non-Europeans have […]
#OGAE IRELAND: Eurobash Ireland 2023! Are you in Dublin on Friday 21 April? Then this event could be for you. Our friends over at OGAE Ireland are gathering for a Bash and Preview Party. You’ll get to see and vote on this year’s crop of songs, before the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chingiz from Azerbaijan is 32 today Do you play any contests on repeat? Are you convinced that the xxth Eurovision Song Contest was the best one ever? Maybe your favourite is 2019. It has its high points, but I have other ones I like more. Talking of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Miro from Bulgaria is 47 today Those countries after their maiden win must look with a bit of envy to those ‘newer’ countries that already have them. There must be a secret formula, they cry. There is: simply enter a decent song with widespread appeal. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cornelia Jakobs from Sweden is 31 today We’ve often said that a gimmick can often help your quest for Eurovision glory. It’s usually something blindingly obvious, like a costume change or a big prop. But it’s not always so. In Torino/Turin, today’s birthday girl Cornelia Jakobs (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Molly Sterling from Ireland is 25 today We like today’s birthday girl, and not just because she’s Irish. Some of us went on a boat trip with her, and chewed the fat for hours. It was a defining moment in 2015. Today’s birthday girl Molly Sterling was, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Morena from Malta is 39 today We all know that Eurovision should be a family affair. Yes, most of the fans are men, but there’s nothing to stop families settling down on a Saturday evening. So if it’s for a family audience, are there any subjects that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lotta Engberg from Sweden is 60 today We like to think that most of the best songs to come from Sweden were in the 1980s. Classic after classic after classic. Well, for us they are anyway. Sometimes the saying about less being more is a wise one. […]
