#BIRTHDAY: Serhat is 56 today Every now and then, Eurovision yields a folk hero. They don’t set out to be renowned, but it just happens to them. And whatever they do, any criticism just bounces off them. In 2019, we saw the Sammarinese send today’s birthday boy Serhat […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paradise Oskar from Finland is 30 today It’s fair to assume that if you win a Eurovision semi-final, the chances are that you will do very well in the Grand Final. You could even win. So it’s always a thing when a high flier in the semi-final […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rita Guerra from Portugal is 53 today We mentioned yesterday about Portugal finally getting a win. But before Salvador did his stuff in Kyiv, those Lusophones have had some cracking little songs. We can’t put our finger on why Portugal hasn’t done that well (apart from one […]
#BIRTHDAY: Artsvik from Armenia is 36 today Which country would you like to see win for the first time? For many years, it was probably Portugal, but now the field could be wide open. For somewhere a bit ‘exotic’, you may want our friends in Armenia to win. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefan Raab from Germany is 54 today Every country has its Mr Eurovision. And, of course, its Mrs/Ms Eurovision too. But some national claims to title are easier to judge. In Germany, you may think it can only be a certain Mr Siegel, with perhaps a Mr […]
#BIRTHDAY: Loukas Giorkas is 34 today Our friends in the Hellenophone community used to have a torrid time of it. They’d be true to themselves and enter stuff reflecting their culture, and would earn few rewards. Then in the early part of the 21st Century something changed and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Despina Olympiou from Cyprus is 45 today Are you a real fan? Could you name every single song by every single country, in order? Could you also throw in where they finished? Then we like to throw in challenges every now and then. For various reasons, some […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jedward from Ireland are 29 today Do you think we’re short-changing you, with only one birthday per day. Well it wouldn’t be right if we were to dilute the attention we give to a birthday boy or girl. Unless it’s twins. And if you want twins, you’ve […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sandra Kim from Belgium is 48 today It’s a well-known fact that Eurovision fans love records. No, not the seven-inch kind, but the “Who got the most 12s” sort of record. One of those of note is the youngest winner. It’s held, of course, by today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cliff Richard from the UK is 80 today For some Eurovision performers, that appearance on the hallowed stage might not quite be the highlight of their career. Important, definitely, but not the pinnacle. Today’s birthday boy Cliff Richard (né Harry Rodger Webb) probably needs no introduction. He’s […]
