#BIRTHDAY: Sonia from the UK is 52 today Do you wish that contests were close these days? The current scoring makes things a little more dramatic, but there were days when it genuinely came down to the last set of votes. In the 1990s there were a couple […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ajda Pekkan from Türkiye is 77 today What’s the oddest subject of a Eurovision song you can think of? Many things have been covered, mostly about falling in love with someone, or falling out of love with someone. Today we have a song about fuel. No, not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Simone de Oliveira from Portugal is 85 today Do you go to the contests, wherever they are held? Have you been to any? In particular, did you go to the fest in Portugal in 2018? If so, you may have witnessed something wonderful. If you were there, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Blanco from Italy is 20 today Do you remember the contest in Turin like it was yesterday? The warm weather, the noteworthy stage, the act from 2020 stealing the show. It was good to be back to nearer normality. And, of course, we get the chatter about […]
#BIRTHDAY: Véronique Müller from Switzerland is 75 today Never forget your heritage. Yes, we know there are people out there who may think the Eurovision Song Contest only started in 2012. But it has a rich history going back nearly 70 years. In the early 1970s there was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Claudette Pace from Malta is 55 today We’re already over 20 contests into the 21st Century. Where has the time gone? It only seems like yesterday since we were at Globen for the first time, when it was a shiny building with a large ornamental lake instead […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jimmie Wilson is 42 today Who doesn’t love a duo? After all, with two singers for the price of one, you’re bound to connect with at least 50% of the singers trying to sell you a song. Our friends in San Marino have tried a few different […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sopho from Georgia is 38 today Did you ever wonder what songwriters are thinking of when they come up with titles? Do they go for something long – like Barry White – or something brief, to the point, and easy to search for on Google*. Shorter song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Trijntje Oosterhuis from the Netherlands is 50 today Four years too early? Well, It’s not often someone is four years too early outside of an Olympic setting. But as we’re heading to Rotterdam’s fair city in the spring, it’s good to celebrate what the Dutch have done […]
#BIRTHDAY: José Cid from Portugal is 81 today I mention from time to time that we love someone who tries. Even though they’ll never be the continent’s favourite. Often through no fault of their own. Actually, today’s birthday boy did really well for his native Portugal, and his […]
