#BIRTHDAY: Filipa Azevedo from Portugal is 32 today What were you doing 13 years ago? Were you an ardent fan? Had you even discovered the contest? Or were you thinking it was time to take up hang-gliding instead of staying in on a Saturday night in May? If […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chanel from Spain is 32 today Do you love hype? That thing where a tune ends up being secondary to the personality that’s singing it? Or that thing when the fannage have already decided a certain song has won four weeks before that Grand Final? In other […]
#BIRTHDAY: Isabelle Aubret from France is 85 today It’s about time we had a winner. And it’s about time we had something in glorious black & white. So when those two parts of a Venn diagram work, it’s only right we oblige. Back in 1962, France notched up […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michael Ben David from Israel is 27 today Some countries have their stars. Those names that will attract a crowd whether it’s singing on stage, or at the local supermarket buying their favourite satay sauce. So many other aspire to be like that, but don’t quite make […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rui Bandeira from Portugal is 50 today Every Eurovision song will have its fans. Yes, even that one that you, dear reader, can’t stand. Someone will like it. It’s not so much songs are hated, they are more forgotten. In other news, do you remember 1999? We […]

#BIRTHDAY: Lum!x from Austria is 21 today That thing where you hear a Eurovision song – pre-contest obviously – and think it could really challenge for the win when it gets on that stage. And then, when you see it on said stage, you wonder what you were […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kate Ryan from Belgium is 43 today Those fans, eh? If things were left to them a whole load of different songs would have won contests, or even qualified for finals. They can be a stubborn bunch at times in what’s hot and what’s not. Thus was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ochman from Poland is 24 today What do you think of people representing countries other than their birth? It can be more controversial when their birth country and their chosen country both participate. Or is it worse of a country picks any old false-flagger? Today’s birthday boy […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vladana from Montenegro is 37 today Did you miss the countries that sat on the sidelines this year? We know some are likely to return in 2024, but some have made the subs bench their second home. We obviously like bigger Eurovisions, so when the roster is […]
