#BIRTHDAY: Ulrikke from Norway is 30 today Remember 2020? It’s a long time ago now, but it may still give you the shakes. Contests were cancelled, we couldn’t socialise, and the whole world went just a little bit mad. Our favourite TV show was cancelled, but every participant […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maya Sar from Bosnia and Herzegovina is 44 today We miss our friends in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There, we’ve said it. We want them back. They add something that’s a heady mix of European, with a dash of something more exotic. Maybe they will return one day. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Achille Lauro from San Marino is 35 today Every now and then a performance comes along that just sets a new bar for performances. It’s so memorable in so many ways. And these ways are not always favourable. Of course, every song – without exception (well, maybe […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tó Cruz from Portugal is 58 today As you know, our friends in Portugal achieved their victory after the longest ever non-winning streak to date. They had tried everything since their début in 1964. Amongst Portugal’s notable achievements was sending the first black male performer in 1967. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nadir Rüstəmli from Azerbaijan is 26 today You know how some countries that you write off when you first hear their song. And then they hit the big stage and you think they could be in with a chance? Much to your chagrin. In other news, we […]

Unlucky because, perhaps, they’re just unfashionable. But even unfashionable countries can still do well. Just look […]
#BIRTHDAY: Baby Lasagna from Croatia is 30 today It’s often the case that a certain song gets a massive head of steam behind it, and becomes the stand-out performance of a contest, even though it doesn’t win. We can all name songs falling into that category. In 2024, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Regina from Slovenia is 60 today Some think semi-finals are a 21st Century thing. But they go way back, well to the 1990s. In 1996 so many countries wanted to take part that there was an audio-taped pre-selection to cut it down to a mere 23 songs. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Roman Lob from Germany is 35 today The Big Four/Five is a thing that has always divided opinion. Should they compete in the semi-finals with the rest or not? It’s true that certain broadcasters put more money in, but now it’s likely the contest may become more […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sebalter from Switzerland is 40 today Have any of you out there ever tried to take part in our favourite TV show? Are you a part-time musician who has a ‘proper’ job? Or have you been singing at bars and shopping malls for years, hoping to get […]
