#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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Daniel Kajmakoski from North Macedonia is 39 today Some of the best Eurovision songs never make it out of a semi-final, even though they may warrant a better finish. All it needs is that one mediocre performance at the crucial time and you turn a finalist into […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aurela Gaçe from Albania is 48 today Dramatic is always a high-risk strategy. It can do the business, as it can keep that valuable televoter completely enthralled, or it can bomb completely, as that same valuable televoter just points and laughs instead. Our Albanian friends like to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carole Vinci from Switzerland is 72 today Before the free language rule was re-introduced, when you were representing a country with a plethora of languages, it sometimes threw up some oddities. German speakers singing in Italian, Dutch speakers singing in French, English speakers singing in German. Our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cliff Richard from the UK is 82 today For some Eurovision performers, that appearance on the hallowed stage might not quite be the highlight of their career. Important, definitely, but not the pinnacle. Today’s birthday boy Sir Cliff Richard (né Harry Rodger Webb) probably needs no introduction. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nana Mouskouri is 88 today False flagger alert! If you’re offended by people from one country singing for another, you may wish to look away. But there is a very good reason today. Today’s false flagger’s own country didn’t début for another 11 years. That makes it […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brian Kennedy from Ireland is 56 today Do you like a ballad or a banger? Or something in between? Or do you like all forms of song – yes, even Schlager? Our friends in Ireland are past masters at the ballad. They’ve won no end of contests […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jeronimas Milius from Lithuania is 38 today Sometimes a song comes along and I don’t know what to say about it. It’s not a winner. It’s not a notorious last place. And many of you might have even forgotten it was ever entered. In other news, after […]
