#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: 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Bledar Sejko from Albania is 50 today Certain countries often send music in a particular stylee year after year. You must know of several that do that. But just occasionally they shock us with something completely different. Our friends in Albania often send young ladies to Eurovision […]
#BIRTHDAY: Milan Stanković from Serbia is 35 today It’s all about the look. And the song. And, erm, the draw order. Any or all of these could be true when working out that perfect thing for Eurovision success. Today’s birthday boy Милан Станковић arguably concentrated on the look, even […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kirsten Siggaard from Denmark is 68 today I know, I know. We’ve had too much obscurity of late. Songs you may have seen once and forgotten about have their place. Today is different. First, today’s song comes from the scientifically-proven best Eurovision of all time. And it’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marlain from Cyprus is 44 today Does luck play a part in Eurovision success (or lack of it)? Can your position in the running order help your chances? Has a song been sunk by what was on around it? Back in 1999 we had a Swedish win. […]
