#BIRTHDAY: Joci Pápai from Hungary is 41 today Eurovision these days is all about English, isn’t it? No other language gets a look in, does it? English is always the way forward. It wasn’t necessarily the case in 2017, and non-English songs have now won the last two […]
Shortly after Kalush Orchestra received their winners trophy at the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, in Turin, Italy, they sold it for $900,000, to help fund Ukraine’s effort in the war against Russia. Kalush Orchestra have now revealed that they will receive a replacement winners trophy from the European […]
#BIRTHDAY: Victoria from Bulgaria is 25 today That class of 2020, eh? They keep amazing us with their also being the class of 2021. It was commendable of the various TV companies continuing to back them, and it was ironic the winners of 2021 weren’t there in 2020. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sarit Hadad from Israel is 44 today For some, Eurovision is just a sideshow. These performers are already massive stars, and they take the Golden Ticket to burnish their credentials as the best when they might not need to. Cue today’s birthday girl שרית חדד/Sarit Hadad (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Buket Bengisu from Türkiye is 46 today Our friends in Turkey/Türkiye are taking a sabbatical at the moment, and many of you out there miss them. They brought something slightly exotic to proceedings, and their language – for many years anyway – was alluringly different. Just over […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lesley Roy from Ireland is 36 today That class of 2020, eh? How unlucky were they? They get all dressed up and have nowhere in Rotterdam to go. That is, until 2021 when some of them get that second bite at the cherry. One of that lucky […]
#BIRTHDAY: Flo Rida is 43 today From time to time something happens which is so left-field, you can’t really believe it until you see it. Sometimes this left-field thing is good, and sometimes downright surreal. Portugal’s win in 2017 was good. But we might have an example of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Debbie Cameron from Denmark is 64 today Did you ever spot a certain thing between 1967 and 1977? Yes, a country near the middle of Europe stopped participating. this was even after a win under DR’s belts. Of course, it was good when they returned in 1978. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Soraya from Spain is 40 today There are some unlucky countries out there. They try and try and just can’t quite get that elusive next win. Sometimes their best entries for years are up against real fan favourites. Or they just pick the wrong year. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jonatan Cerrada is 37 today Eurovision can throw up interesting collaborations. To start with, we have the performers born in one country representing another. These are often culturally similar – I’m looking at you Luxembourg. But it can go further. There are writers that peddle their songs […]
