BIRTHDAY: Carola from Sweden is 53 today It’s that date. The one you’ve been waiting for. Sadly, it only comes around only once per year. It’s a Swedish participant’s birthday. One who’s taken part not once, not twice, but three times! If you hadn’t worked it out already, […]
BIRTHDAY: Alyona Lanskaya from Belarus is 34 today Some countries have had more success than others in getting out of the dreaded semi-finals. They can be bloodbaths. Fancied songs fall by the wayside and the unexpected get through. In 2013, our friends in Belarus hadn’t had much luck. […]
BIRTHDAY: Marlain from Cyprus is 41 today Does luck play a part in Eurovision success (or lack of it)? Can your position in the running order help your chances? Has a song been sunk by what was on around it? Back in 1999 we had a Swedish win. […]
BIRTHDAY: Teddy Johnson would have been 100 today It’s time for a bit of nostalgia. I jest of course, as many of you were not around in the 1950s. And even if you were alive, you may not have remembered the decade. There weren’t many songs, but some […]
BIRTHDAY: Lindsay Dracass from the UK is 35 today Do you have a preferred size of venue? Do you wish our favourite TV show – and it is a TV show after all – was in a small TV studio with people in their finery? Or do you […]
BIRTHDAY: Stevan Faddy from Montenegro is 33 today It’s another débutant today. Not, strictly speaking, a from a nation treading the boards for the first time, but nevertheless a début. Why, do you ask? Montenegro had first been part of Yugoslavia, and then part of Serbia & Montenegro. […]
BIRTHDAY: Vanna from Croatia is 49 today The fortunes of countries come and go. You can tell some are gearing up for a win. And once they have, they revert to being also-rans. Of course, some that you think should win make an effort and then lose interest. […]
BIRTHDAY: Dana from Ireland is 68 today Eurovision announcement! What could be better? Well, an announcement that it’s your own city, or that you put a bet on the host city three months ago at 100/1 and it’s come up trumps. It’s apt that today we found out […]
BIRTHDAY: Gry Johansen from Denmark is 55 today The 1980s. What a fine, fine decade it was. Full of big clothes, big hair and the occasional big song. It was the calm before the storm of a whole host of new countries joining in the following decade. Back […]
BIRTHDAY: Soluna Samay representing Denmark is 29 today Do you know how it feels to be a bit early for something? It could be getting there early for that hot date. Or waiting for your favourite shop to open ready for its sale. Or it could be early […]
