#BIRTHDAY: Kølig Kaj from Denmark is 54 today Rap. Is there a musical genre that divides opinion more? It’s always a higher risk style than, say, Schlager or the good old-fashioned ballad. No matter, it can be notable when we see rap at our favourite TV show. In […]
#BIRTHDAY: Montaigne from Australia is 30 today After a couple of years of up-in-the-airness in the early 2020s, our favourite TV show is now more back on an even keel. Yes, that’s a mix of metaphors but we can continue to be hopeful for 2026 and beyond. Now […]
#BIRTHDAY: Thanos Kalliris from Greece is 63 today Do you like your traditional song? Are you more a fan of something more contemporary? Do you like it when a country surprises you with a choice of song? Back in 1987, our friends in Greece deviated from their usual […]
#BIRTHDAY: Saba from Denmark is 28 today You must feel for some Eurovision performers. They do their best and go and win a national final. They follow the whole circus to a city somewhere in the European Broadcasting Area with high hopes. They know they’re going to be […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kateryna Pavlenko from Ukraine is 37 today Until it was abandoned, the 2020 contest was shaping up to be a classic contest. A number of countries were being touted for a win, including some of those that ‘get’ Eurovision, and one or two others. Of course, we’ll […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oleksandr from Ukraine is 52 today The joy of being your country’s first ever entrant in our favourite TV show. You’ve gone where no-one from your country has ever been before, and no-one can take away the fact you were the first. Your status as your country’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Duarte Mendes from Portugal is 78 today Is Eurovision political? Is there a fine line between a political song and one that celebrates history? Where do you draw this line? Some countries have had more turbulent histories than others, and some very recently. Back in 1975, revolution […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kate Gulbrandsen from Norway is 60 today Imagine the scene. You know you’re heading to Europe’s favourite TV show, and you get drawn on first. How do you make an impression? You’re in the biggest ever contest and don’t want to be lost by all the madness […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nina from Serbia is 36 today Many of the performers at our favourite TV show are out-and-out singers or musicians. They might do other stuff, but usually as a hobby. But there are those where the singing is the hobby, and they have a ‘proper’ job. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jon Lilygreen is 38 today We have a false flagger today. Now that term can sometimes be derogatory, but it doesn’t need to be. Each broadcaster can make any rules they want, within reason. So if they want someone not from their country, fair enough. Today’s birthday […]
