#BIRTHDAY: 11 Nov – Greta Salóme from Iceland is 40 Many acts try and try again to win the grand prize in our favourite TV show. Some go it alone from their first appearance. Others like to start modestly, and build their way up. In 2012, old hand […]
#BIRTHDAY: 10 Nov – Ruth Lorenzo from Spain is 44 There must be some golden rules when going on to a Eurovision stage. For example, always make sure you know where the camera is. Or that you’re wearing clean underwear. One rule I think performers should stick to […]
#BIRTHDAY: 9 Nov – Joëlle Ursull from France is 66 It’s always a good thing when a country tries something different. There’s one thing for a formulaic song, but thinking outside the box can be a breath of fresh air. It can sometimes pay dividends too. In the […]
#BIRTHDAY: 8 Nov – S10 from the Netherlands is 26 Have you noticed something start to happen, and it’ll only happen more and more? yes, it’s the post-2000 births. Those performers who were born after 1 January 2000. They won’t have been alive for three of Sweden’s wins, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 6 Nov – Jeangu Macrooy from the Netherlands is 33 Ah, the home entrant. So much pressure, and yet so little. Although some countries have been daring enough to win a home contest (or two), we’re pretty sure it’s often the host broadcaster’s wish not to win […]
#BIRTHDAY: 5 Nov – Nodi Tatishvili from Georgia is 40 That thing when you get a well-performed duet at our favourite TV show. In theory, you get two able performers, who bounce off each other, giving us the best of both worlds. It’s odd that more duets haven’t […]
#BIRTHDAY: 4 Nov – Malena Ernman from Sweden is 56 Yes, we pick on that powerhouse with the blue-and-yellow flag today. You’re probably already sitting up to see which lucky Swede it is. Well read on. Today’s birthday girl Sara Magdalena ‘Malena’ Ernman had a go at that […]
#BIRTHDAY: 3 Nov – Lulu from the UK is 78 Do you remember when the UK of stuff were good at Eurovision? Yes, since we hit the 21st Century their fortunes have waned a little, aside from a certain performance in Torino/Turin. But in their prime, the BBC […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 Nov – Vasil from North Macedonia is 42 Those performers selected for 2020 but ended up performing a year later. They were a patient bunch. And some must have thought they’d blown their chance when the 2020 contest was cancelled. Today’s birthday boy Васил Гарванлиев/Vasil Garvanliev […]
#BIRTHDAY: 1 Nov – Jelena Tomašević from Serbia is 43 We’ve got another home entrant here. They will always occupy a special place in Eurovision lore, as there has about 70 of them. A small number have won, and a number have done the opposite. Maybe it’s best […]
