#BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Moro from Italy is 48 today If you could put money on the next country of the Big Five to win, who would you pick? Italy was the last of them to win, but who’s to say that they couldn’t win again? Aside from winning in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Freddie from Hungary is 33 today Are you a fan of national finals? Are you religiously watching them through the whole ‘season’, from Ukraine to Portugal? Do you pick certain countries to watch, even though they may have many many shows? Or do you prefer it to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michèle Torr is 76 today Some people just can’t get enough of our favourite TV show. And that’s not just the fans, who are making the best of things after missing out on tickets. Instead, there’s plenty out there. Talking of people who can’t get enough, today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: James Fox from the UK is 47 today If you’re a singer, it sometimes helps if you have a second string to your bow. Some who have taken part in Eurovision have dabbled in politics, but staying in entertainment is probably a better option. In 2004, today’s […]

#BIRTHDAY: Michalis Rakintzis from Greece is 66 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Molly Smitten-Downes from the UK is 36 today Yesterday, we had a birthday of someone from a country that would love to win. Today we have a country that, generally, had been in the same doldrum-like predicament. Until 2022 that is. They try in a very nonchalant […]
#BIRTHDAY: Yannis Savvidakis from Cyprus is 60 today We mentioned duets occasionally, and how with two performers, you’re likely to tick more boxes. And more ticked boxes mean more votes – or so you’d hope. Not that many duets have won our favourite TV show over the years, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brooke Scullion from Ireland is 24 today Did you enjoy the contest in Turin/Torino? Did you go? Did the city meet your high expectations? And, of course, did your favourites make it to the Grand Final out of those cut-throat semi-finals? One highly tipped song didn’t actually […]
