#BIRTHDAY: Luca Hänni from Switzerland is 29 today It’s an old adage that anyone can won our favourite TV show. Portugal, Austria and Finland have proven this in the 21st Century. One win, and a scattering of other reasonable results. So there is hope for [insert country here], […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luminița Anghel from Romania is 55 today Do you think that contests are coming and going quicker than ever? Yes, we’re now in October, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since Loreen won in Liverpool. It was in 2005 – yes, 18 years ago – that today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Joe Woolford from the UK is 29 today You have to admire the United Kingdom of stuff. They have this glittering past of top three places that came to a juddering halt in 2002. With one obvious exception. They may have been overtaken by a number of […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sandra Oxenryd is 41 today Here’s an upbeat little number to kick-start your October. We know how you all like something to groove along too, and if it’s Schlager inspired, even more so. Even more so if you add a sprinkling of Swedish-ness into the mix, and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sibel Tüzün from Türkiye is 52 today Here’s something we thought we’d never see. It’s a performer from one country singing in another with whom there was no love lost for a long time. These days, most European countries generally get on, apart from the obvious. But […]
#BIRTHDAY: Seyyal Taner from Türkiye is 71 today Do you want someone who made an impression when she took part in our favourite TV programme? One who’s performance will leave you out of breath. Back in 1987 we were in plucky little Belgium for the biggest contest ever […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ani Lorak from Ukraine is 45 today It’s worth remembering that for almost every winner of our favourite TV show, there was a eager yet slightly disappointed runner-up. In times past this role was given to the UK of stuff. However, in recent times, many countries have […]
