#BIRTHDAY: Nina from Serbia is 36 today Many of the performers at our favourite TV show are out-and-out singers or musicians. They might do other stuff, but usually as a hobby. But there are those where the singing is the hobby, and they have a ‘proper’ job. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jon Lilygreen is 38 today We have a false flagger today. Now that term can sometimes be derogatory, but it doesn’t need to be. Each broadcaster can make any rules they want, within reason. So if they want someone not from their country, fair enough. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nemo from Switzerland is 26 today Winners. There have only been a small proportion of acts that have done that at our favourite TV show. They’re a rare commodity. And even rarer from certain countries. Indeed, some winners were even false flaggers. Today it’s the birthday of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vlad Miriță from Romania is 44 today Duets can often go one of two ways. Either the two protagonists have that invaluable chemistry that helps sell the song. Or they hate each other. We’ve seen plenty of both types on the Eurovision stage. Today’s duo du jour […]

#BIRTHDAY: Silvia Night from Iceland is 43 today As you’ll have seen from our birthday feature, all kinds of song have been on that stage. Some are well-crafted songs that might be slow-burners. And then there are the others… Today’s is a uniquely crafted song that attracted all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Isabelle Aubret from France is 87 today It’s about time we had a winner. And it’s about time we had something in glorious black & white. So when those two parts of a Venn diagram work, it’s only right we oblige. Back in 1962, France notched up […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sigga from Iceland is 63 today It’s repeat offender time again. You know the sort – They have a good/bad/indifferent result when they take part a first time. They get the bug and come back again. Repeat as necessary. Today’s birthday girl Sigga (née Sigríður Beinteinsdóttir) appeared […]
