#BIRTHDAY: Jessy Matador from France is 40 today Have you had a good week? Has it snowed where you are? Or is it fine and sunny in an Israeli stylee? Whatever your week, you must be glad that it’s almost the weekend. So with that in mind, here’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Blas Cantó from Spain is 31 today If you recall, it seemed like there were hundreds of performers who didn’t get the 2020 gig but were then kept on for Rotterdam 2021. Actually, the number was far less than that but it’s a nice thought to hold. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mary Spiteri from Malta is 75 today When Portugal won in 2017, they had held the record for the most entries without a win. It’s not a record a country wants, but it’s one to watch. But who holds that record now? Well, it depends on your […]
#BIRTHDAY: Serhat is 58 today Every now and then, Eurovision yields a folk hero. They don’t set out to be renowned, but it just happens to them. And whatever they do, any criticism just bounces off them. In 2019, we saw the Sammarinese send today’s birthday boy Serhat […]

#BIRTHDAY: Artsvik from Armenia is 38 today Which country would you like to see win for the first time? For many years, it was probably Portugal, but now the field could be wide open. For somewhere a bit ‘exotic’, you may want our friends in Armenia to win. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samra from Azerbaijan is 28 today We’ve got a birthday today for one of our friends from Azerbaijan. As you’ll know, they won once and would love to win again. They tend to use non-Azerbaijani songwriters, but that hasn’t held them back. That might be why they […]
#BIRTHDAY: James Newman from the UK is 37 today Eurovision fans love a record breaker. The singer who scored the most points. The country that’s won the most times. The first song to include the word ‘unbeknownest’. They all have their place. Other records are less coveted by […]
#BIRTHDAY: Arnis Mednis from Latvia is 61 today Would a song lyric that says “I’m voting for beer” draw you in? Do you like alcohol? Or do you think it’s the root of all evil? Today’s birthday boy Arnis Mednis incorporated this killer line in his song in […]
