OBITUARY: Dina from Portugal has died aged 62 Singer Dina, who represented Portugal in the 1992 Eurovision Song Contest, has died after a short illness aged 62. She sang in the contest held in Malmö’s Isstadion on 9 May 1992, performing the song Amor d’agua fresca, co-written by […]
BIRTHDAY: Deen from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 37 today As we saw yesterday, Eurovision throws up performances as well as songs. Do they detract, or does a song need some form of gimmick to do well? St Salvador of Sobral didn’t think so, but they do sometimes help. […]
BIRTHDAY: Mélovin from Ukraine is 22 today We all know that the road to Eurovision is not always easy. All sorts of things can get in the way of that song a country selects for the hallowed stage in [insert city here]. It’s definitely true this year. As […]
BIRTHDAY: Linas Adomaitis from Lithuania is 43 today Yesterday we had a country who had never won. Well, sort of. Now today we have a country with a record that’s been a little more patchy since day one. Our friends in Lithuania haven’t had the success of its […]
BIRTHDAY: Vesna Pisarović from Croatia is 41 today There’s a long list of countries that have never won our favourite TV show. Will one of them win this year in Tel Aviv? Or will it be Sweden somewhere dull? However, there is one country that claims a win, […]

BIRTHDAY: Aram MP3 from Armenia is 35 today If you count it up, five countries that used to be in the USSR have won the top prize in our favourite TV show. That means five more haven’t yet. Which of these five do you think will be next? […]
BIRTHDAY: David Alexandre Winter from Luxembourg is 76 today It’s good to remember our history. You know, those times before 2000 when the contest still happened, even if it was a little bit smaller and, generally, more western than it is now. In 1970 it was much much […]
BIRTHDAY: Michalis Rakintzis from Greece is 62 today Things got a little odd at the turn of the century. We were trapped in Nordic/Baltic Europe after time in the eastern Med. Countries were taking it in turns to be relegated. And we had some interesting acts. When we […]
