#BIRTHDAY: Dan Ar Braz from France is 73 today It’s always good when we hear interesting and ‘minor’ languages at our favourite TV show. Sure, English is understood by a large amount of viewers, but you need to give credit to countries taking chances. Of course, between 1978 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rosa from Spain is 40 today As we know, only one act can win the big prize each year at our favourite TV show. But some of the performers that get there have already won a competition to get there. In 2002, our friends in Spain launched […]
#BIRTHDAY: Zlata Ognevich from Ukraine is 35 today It’s only right that politics shouldn’t really play a part in our favourite TV show. They often almost mix, but thankfully it’s mainly kept a lid on. However, the odd singer here and there has dabbled in politics. One such […]
