#BIRTHDAY: Anneli Saaristo from Finland is 75 today What’s your favourite decade of Eurovision? There are so many to choose from. It’s true that some decades have more songs than others. But quantity doesn’t always mean quality. We really like the 1980s. It was a smaller pool of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cathal Dunne from Ireland is 73 today You have to admire the performers who turn up at our favourite TV show. Some of them travel long distances for minimal results. These days, it must be quite demoralising knowing you’ve spend days heading to the host city, only […]
#BIRTHDAY: Karoline Krüger from Norway is 54 today If you’re really into your contest, you’ll be watching all of the national finals, semi-finals and miscellaneous heats from around Europe as broadcasters pick their songs for Rotterdam. Some don’t bother asking the public, but some like a whole series […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ana Rucner from Bosnia and Herzegovina is 41 today It would be good to see certain countries come back to our favourite TV show. Not just those micro-states, but there are some larger ones that did well in the past, but now sit on the sidelines. It […]

As we know, this is a standalone competition, but the winner is likely to represent their country at the 2024 Eurovision […]
#BIRTHDAY: Poli Genova from Bulgaria is 37 today The fan community can be a big mover and shaker in what sinks and what doesn’t at a Eurovision. They can use their cunning and guile, and occasionally influence what the televoters of Europe can vote for. Obviously, it’s not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Joe Grech from Malta is 90 today Every now and then a song comes along that is just legendary. It could be for one of several reasons. It could be a big winner, a début entry, or one that just has fine costumes or choreography. Today’s song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Svala from Iceland is 47 today Have you ever noticed any families taking part in our favourite TV show? We have had twins, siblings, and even a mother/daughter act. But as it’s been going over 60 years, there’s the chance of dynasties emerging. Today’s birthday girl Svala […]
