#BIRTHDAY: 4 July – Eiríkur Hauksson from Iceland is 67 Today we’ve got one of those performers who keeps coming back. Once isn’t enough. Neither is twice. So maybe third time lucky is the way to go. Today’s birthday boy Eiríkur Hauksson has tried three times to win […]
#BIRTHDAY: 3 July – Aisel from Azerbaijan is 37 When your country has a good record in our favourite TV show, it puts extra pressure on performers to keep up this tradition. But there will come a time when that country will do badly. In 2018, our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 July – Marcha from the Netherlands is 70 If you recall, we thought we’d have a contest in the sunny Netherlands in 2020 after they won in Tel Aviv. They were trying for over 40 years between wins, and it shows that persistence eventually pays off. […]
#BIRTHDAY: 1 July – Jüri Pootsmann from Estonia is 32 We all have our favourite countries. It could be because we have family there, or because they enter songs we like into our favourite TV show. Or they could. Or they could generally get good results from the […]
#BIRTHDAY: 30 June – Daði Freyr from Iceland is 34 Do you ever see social media posts telling us about ‘the real winner’? It’s clear that the ‘real winner’ is the one that gets the most points under the rules in place of the time. You might not […]

#BIRTHDAY: 28 June – Tanja Ribič from Slovenia is 58 What style of song do you like best? Does it need costume changes, clucking, or maybe the odd penguin on stage? Or do you like a song just to be a song without all the bells and whistles? […]
#BIRTHDAY: 27 June – Petra Frey from Austria is 48 Sometimes when we’re picking a birthday song, it makes us feel old. We’ve been watching contests since 19xx so have seen a few acts in our time. And some of them are a lot older now than we […]
#BIRTHDAY: 26 June – Stefán Hilmarsson from Iceland is 60 As we often say, some performers can’t get enough of Eurovision. They need to be on the stage. But with that, maybe they don’t want to be on stage alone. That where you get the serial duetist. In […]
#BIRTHDAY: 25 June – Sam Ryder from the UK is 37 Do you ever think that, sometimes, the biggest star to come out of a Eurovision Song Contest isn’t always the winner? Sometimes, that singer who maybe gets a lesser placing has more to celebrate. In 2022 we […]
