#BIRTHDAY: Céline Dion is 57 today For many performers, their three/six/nine/twelve minutes on the Eurovision stage is the highlight of their entertainment career. As nowhere else will they be seen by several hundred million people. But for others, Eurovision is a mere footnote. Today’s birthday girl Céline Marie […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dan Bittman from Romania is 63 today We all have our favourite decades. I loved the 1980s, as they were my formative years. However, the 1990s aren’t without their charm, as it was then that we started to see our favourite TV show expand eastwards. Whilst there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pınar Ayhan from Türkiye is 53 today Do you miss Türkiye/Turkey? They weren’t always every juror’s favourite, but they did bring a little extra something to the contests they took part in. They even won once, which proves that anyone can win – yes, even that country […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gipsy from Czechia is 43 today There are times when you know how a song is going to do. Even before it graces a Eurovision stage. Some are guaranteed certain winners that you can see from Mars. Others have the opposite result. You know, bless them, that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jostein Hasselgård from Norway is 46 today It’s often overlooked how good some ballads are. They may not have the bells, whistles and fancy frocks of something that would fill a dance floor. But quality will out, and a decent ballad is a classic forever. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michael Scheickl from Austria is 68 today We get songs about all subjects at our favourite TV programme. Love, the planet, San Francisco. But people even sing songs about days of the week. Do you have a favourite day of the week? In 1982, we got a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pino Gasparini from Switzerland is 79 today It must he tough when you perform at a Eurovision Song Contest, knowing the guest of honour is there watching you. Not only that, but when the guest of honour won for your country, there must be a lot of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sopho Gelovani from Georgia is 41 today Songs get some by performers in many forms. I like soloists as they can put everything into their singing. I also like groups as they can share the load and bounce off each other. And then there are duets. Duets […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lucie Jones from the UK is 34 today What do you think of the Big Five? Should they get an automatic place in the final, or should they have to go through the semi-finals like the rest of us? It’s true that the Big Five do have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Birthe Wilke from Denmark is 89 today We go with a non-English language song today. And our friends in Denmark are sending a song to Turin in Danish. That’s twice in two years. It’s good to hear the language again. Today’s birthday girl Birthe Wilke is at […]
