BIRTHDAY: Alla Pugacheva from Russia is 70 today We get heroes performing at our favourite TV show every year. But it’s not every day that we get a People’s Artist of their country – the highest award their country can bestow a performer. Not only is today’s birthday […]
BIRTHDAY: Jacques Houdek from Croatia is 38 today Singer, writer. It’s a well-trodden path. If you’re a singer worth your salt, you may have dabbled in songwriting too. It implies that you can sing, and understand how music properly works. No, I’m not rambling. I’m leading up to […]
BIRTHDAY: Mando from Greece is 53 today Have you noticed that the last few birthdays have featured singers using stage names. Maybe it’s a thing to give them a completely different persona to the off-stage singer. But it’s interesting that stage names can be very different to real […]
OBITUARY: Dina from Portugal has died aged 62 Singer Dina, who represented Portugal in the 1992 Eurovision Song Contest, has died after a short illness aged 62. She sang in the contest held in Malmö’s Isstadion on 9 May 1992, performing the song Amor d’agua fresca, co-written by […]

BIRTHDAY: Mélovin from Ukraine is 22 today We all know that the road to Eurovision is not always easy. All sorts of things can get in the way of that song a country selects for the hallowed stage in [insert city here]. It’s definitely true this year. As […]
BIRTHDAY: Linas Adomaitis from Lithuania is 43 today Yesterday we had a country who had never won. Well, sort of. Now today we have a country with a record that’s been a little more patchy since day one. Our friends in Lithuania haven’t had the success of its […]
BIRTHDAY: Vesna Pisarović from Croatia is 41 today There’s a long list of countries that have never won our favourite TV show. Will one of them win this year in Tel Aviv? Or will it be Sweden somewhere dull? However, there is one country that claims a win, […]
BIRTHDAY: Freddie from Hungary is 29 today Are you a fan of national finals? Are you religiously watching them through the whole ‘season’, from Albania to Sweden? Do you pick certain countries to watch, even though they may have many many shows? Or do you prefere it to […]
BIRTHDAY: Noëlle Cordier from France is 75 today Your eyes won’t be deceiving you today. Yes, it’s fun and games in black & white. But don’t let that put you off. Some of the songs from those monochrome days are easily as good as some we get nowadays. […]
