#BIRTHDAY: Baby Doll is 62 today Being on first can be that double-edged sword. You get your performance out of the way (meaning more time at the bar), you get a nice fresh audience, and who knows, people have won from the front before. Casting your mind back […]
#BIRTHDAY: Senhit from San Marino is 45 today We’re looking at a country that tries today. And it’s a country that’s become associate with one act even though a number of others have tried. Some were even from that same country. But the Most Serene Republic hat is […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nayah from France is 64 today To have a national final or not. That can be the question. The fans love national finals, as it gives them a chance to hobnob with stars in a far flung TV studio or second-rate theatre. But they’re not compulsory. Our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sergio Dalma from Spain is 60 today As you’ll know, the rules of our favourite TV show impose a strict three minute on sing duration. It has been more in the past, but when one 1950s singer had a song that lasted in the region of five […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ryan O’Shaughnessy from Ireland is 32 today It’s always good to see a success story. One where someone gets through, despite the odds being against them. Which is a tenuous link to Ireland. Those heady days of the 1990s seem a long time ago, and past performance […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nicki French has a birthday today Those decades keep on coming, and it’s the turn of that which some call the ‘noughties’. It’s an odd term, so we’ll just call it the first decade of the 21st Century. Sure, you could argue that today’s song was still […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chiara from Malta is 48 today Do you remember the 1990s? It was a fine decade when our favourite TV show moved in the general direction of getting bigger and bigger. A certain country returned in that decade, after a 16 year absence. Can you guess which […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brinck from Denmark is 50 today Does a well-known songwriter help to get a song votes? Eurovision is a songwriter’s competition after all, and a singer’s performance can make or break a song. Back in 2009, our friends in Denmark talked Ronan Keating into co-writing a song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Patrick Fiori from France is 55 today It’s always nice to hear a song that’s not English. But even more special when we hear a proper minority language. Our friends in France have gone down that road in the past with, among others, Breton and Antillean Creole. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alejandro Abad from Spain is 62 today You know that our favourite TV show is a contest for songwriters? They should – arguably – be getting top billing on their songs, as they’re the ones who’ve carefully crafted a masterpiece for our listening pleasure. But songwriters have […]
