#BIRTHDAY: Nina from Spain is 56 today Are you a Spanish fan? Or just a fan of Spanish music? You must have been gutted in May when, in any other year, RTVE could have taken home the big prize. Fate is a cruel thing. But over the years, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Trine Jepsen from Denmark is 45 today The duet. It’s a great little set up. Two equally credited singers for the price of one, each bringing their own talents to a song. And it means the audience could like at least one of the protagonists. Is the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sergio Dalma from Spain is 58 today As you’ll know, the rules of our favourite TV show impose a strict three minute on sing duration. It has been more in the past, but when one 1950s singer had a song that lasted in the region of five […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alma from France is 34 today Our friends in France have experienced the highs and lows of Eurovision lately. After nearly winning in 2021, they had less good fortune in 2022. Eurovision can be a very fickle beast at times. In 2017, France sent today’s birthday girl […]

#BIRTHDAY: Adelaide from Portugal is 62 today Did you remember the contest in Portugal in 2018? Do you still dream of the sun, the sea, the pasteis de nada? Do you think that we should have already been there? I can think of several examples of when Portugal […]

#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. […]
