#BIRTHDAY: Nino Pršeš from Bosnia-Herzegovina is 52 today Do you miss Bosnia and Herzegovina? They were a welcome addition to our Eurovision family over 30 years ago, but they’re sitting on the substitute’s bench these day. No doubt with their feet up and watching Eurovisions with oodles of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gry Johansen from Denmark is 60 today Thick and thin. That’s an adage that applies to every country taking part in our favourite TV show. Any country can win, but equally any country can do less well. Yes, even our Nordic friends. In 1983 we were deep […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jendrik from Germany is 30 today Eurovision is an odd thing. The songs stoke emotions that are sometimes quite strong. How is it that a combination of notes can be loved or hated so much? And hate can be such a strong word. In sunny Rotterdam, not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mae Muller from the UK is 27 today If you were a Eurovision performer (and maybe you are), when would you want to perform in the Grand Final? First, so you can get to the free bar? Last, so the crowd will be nicely warmed up? Or […]
#BIRTHDAY: La Zarra is 37 today When you look at non-Europeans that participate in our favourite TV show, our friends in Canada must have provided more than their fair share. We’ve had one Canuck winner, and many others have tried. Today’s birthday girl La Zarra (née Fatima-Zahra Hafdi) […]
#BIRTHDAY: William Mangion from Malta is 66 today There are some special contests where things change. 1971 was one instance (previews started). 2004 was another (semi-finals). But perhaps one of the most important was 1993. The EBU had started to embrace those further east places that wanted to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gunvor from Switzerland is 50 today Imagine how you’d feel. You’re on the Eurovision stage, you’re giving it everything, and things don’t go quite as well as expected. This is all after a long road which included winning your national final in December the previous year with […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jasmine from Finland is 48 today Eurovision always loves a good sing-a-long song. Those mumbly arty Swedish types have their place, but nothing can beat a jovial singer with a big hearty smile. And a guitar. OK, the guitar is an optional extra, but when you get […]
#BIRTHDAY: Demy from Greece is 33 today Do you often wonder what goes on in planning meetings to decide upon a staging for a Eurovision song? The outfit to wear, the positions of the backing singers, whether to have dancers even. It all needs careful planning. In 2017, […]
