#BIRTHDAY: Kasia Kowalska from Poland is 49 today Which country would you like to see win for the first time? For me, for years, it was Portugal. Then we had 2017… These days it would have to be somewhere like Malta. Or Georgia. Or maybe Poland. It’s a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Didrik Solli-Tangen from Norway is 35 today The home entrant. To be fair, they haven’t had the best of times of late. There was a time when singing in a contest that could taking place in your city was a guarantee for a top position. Not so […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lisa del Bo from Belgium is 61 today Do you ever hear a song and think that it sounds a lot like another song? It’s not quite plagiarism, but there are similarities that you can’t ignore. The plagiarism allegation is levelled at songs every year, usually without […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rafał from Poland is 41 today What did you make of the 2021 contest in Rotterdam. Did we get the result at the top of the leaderboard we deserve? Were there any injustices further down the list? Should a losing semi-finalists have really made it? We know […]
#BIRTHDAY: Franka from Croatia is 30 today Our friends in Croatia have had their ups and downs over the years. Sadly, it’s been mainly downs lately. But they should take comfort that anyone can win our favourite TV show. Just look at Portugal. But even though they’re not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Uku Suviste from Estonia is 40 today We’ve got another of the Class of 2021 today. You know the Class – Some of them were the unlucky ones from the Class of 2020, who were given another chance. And we know that those alumni from both the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Colm C T Wilkinson from Ireland is 78 today Over the years, many big stars have taken part in our favourite TV show. Some are stars of the charts, some are TV personalities, but plenty have excelled in musical theatre. Back in 1978, the contest was opened […]
#BIRTHDAY: Monica Törnell from Sweden is 68 today If you’re ever in a tight spot, you can always rely on Sweden. Yes, the favourite of Eurovisions worldwide has come to our aid again. Some out there will think that Sweden can do no wrong. They could have someone […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sopho Khalvashi from Georgia is 36 today The first decade of this century saw a big expansion of the amount of countries taking part in our favourite TV show. Fifteen countries débuted. That’s more countries than took part in the first contests. One such début came from […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pasha Parfeny from Moldova is 36 today Mr Eurovision. Every country has one. Or several. Or someone who thinks they are deserving of this title. Not to be confused with Dr Eurovision, obviously. There’s only room for one of those. Moldova has a claimant to that title […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eyþór Ingi from Iceland is 33 today Performers of all ages have been seen on a Eurovision stage. It cam sometimes be a fun game to guess whether a performer looks their age or not. Many performers try to look younger than they are. Some succeed. Some […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tooji from Norway is 35 today It’s an achievement these days to make the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest. For those 20 acts, they’ve had to arrive in a host city extra early, rehearse and rehearse, and then aim to beat other worthy songs. So […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emma Marrone from Italy is 38 today Our friends in Italy have done fairly well since they can back from exile. Seven top 10 finishes in their last nine attempts, including two runner-up spots. Which other of the Big Five can boast that record? Of course, for […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ruslana from Ukraine is 49 today With certain countries in the news for certain reasons, it’s probably important to remember their countrymen and women have birthdays too. And a winner definitely needs celebrating. So a winner from a country in the news, with a birthday, needs a […]
