#BIRTHDAY: Jacques Raymond from Belgium is 82 today There are many people that have tried one more than one occasion to win European music’s biggest prize. Some do it knowingly, whilst others get drafted in late on, probably because they’ve done it before. Today’s birthday boy Jacques Raymond […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brian Kennedy from Ireland is 54 today Do you like a ballad or a banger? Or something in between? Or do you like all forms of song – yes, even Schlager? Our friends in Ireland are past masters at the ballad. They’ve won no end of contests […]
#BIRTHDAY: Isis Gee from Poland is 48 today It can be an odd thing being a false flagger. You could be up against someone from your country, who’s representing your country too. So it’s maybe less of a dilemma if your country of origin doesn’t actually take part […]
#BIRTHDAY: Séverine is 72 today Is it good to be a false flagger? Would you do it to deprive a native singer of the Eurovision gig? Or would you see it as bringing along your own expertise to a country that needs some help? Certain countries are/have been […]
#BIRTHDAY: Csézy from Hungary is 41 today There’s often a dilemma, as a result of the free language rule. Do you aim for the wider audience by picking a more common language, or do you stay true to your roots? The way taken by those torn between these […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kobi Marimi from Israel is 29 today You may recall last year we said that there had never been any Eurovision singers’ birthday of note (that we knew of) on this date, and then two came along at once. We celebrated one last year, so it’s the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luminița Anghel from Romania is 52 today Do you think that contests are coming and going quicker than ever? Yes, 2020 didn’t happen, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since Duncan won in Tel Aviv. It was in 2005 – yes, 15 years ago – that today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tereza Kerndlová from Czechia is 34 today We occasionally talk about countries that have the old love/hate relationship with our favourite contest. While your country’s broadcaster may studiously take part every year, there are those that take the odd year out here and there. Our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paola from Switzerland is 70 today Our friends in Switzerland are in a curious situation. They have lots of languages to choose from, and they can confuse the average casual viewer by entering in a tongue we don’t always expect. Today’s birthday girl Paola Felix (née Paola […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nela Pocisková from Slovakia is 30 today The duet is a curious beast. Two performers that you hope are in tune with each other – in every sense of the word. It’s no good having two randomers just thrown together for a song contest. Today’s birthday girl […]
