#BIRTHDAY: Željko Joksimović is 53 today There are great songs, and there are great songs. Others may not think so, but I think this is one of the greatest. Cast your mind back to 2004. We didn’t have just one show in the host city – we had […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rolf Løvland from Norway is 70 today The phrase Mr Eurovision is bandied around quite easily sometime. Some countries have one contender. Others have several. It’s a great discussion point the next time you’re with like-minded fans. Over in Norway, there are a number of possible Mr […]
#BIRTHDAY: Géraldine Gogly is 79 today We love vintage here. There is more to Eurovision than someone clucking in ultra high definition. There were days when we had nothing more than respectable black & white, and an altogether more demure look. Today we go back to 1967, when […]
#BIRTHDAY: Efendi from Azerbaijan is 34 today It was in 2020 when things changed. That contest we were all looking forward to in Rotterdam was almost upon us, and then it got cancelled. Luckily, for many of the acts chosen, they got a free pass to 2021 when […]

#BIRTHDAY: Teya from Austria is 25 today As you’ll know, we’re starting to get more performers and writers at our favourite TV show that were born after 1 January 2000. Yes, the 21st Century is starting to rule the roost now. Soon, every winner will be a 21st […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mélovin from Ukraine is 28 today If you want to get ahead, you need a showstopper of a song. It’s obvious, isn’t it. But how to stop that show? With a song that you can’t help falling in love with? Or with a bonkers stage show? Both […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katrina Leskanich is 65 today There are countries out there who have experienced greatness in the past. But those days seem to be long gone. A decent result here and there but said country may wonder what it needs to do. For many years the United Kingdom […]
