#BIRTHDAY: Marija Šerifović from Serbia is 40 today It seems that English rules these days. No, not the (sub-)national entity. I mean the language. It’s rampant in the presentation of the shows. It’s all pervasive in the press centre. And it’s the main tongue of song too. So […]
#BIRTHDAY: N’evergreen from Denmark is 55 today What do you think of the duo? A good idea? It’s true that with two people sharing the load, it takes some of the stress out of being on a massive stage. And as a viewer, it’s likely you might like […]
#BIRTHDAY: Raphael Gualazzi from Italy is 43 today It was back in late 2010/early 2011 that websites were previewing a massive announcement that we’d remember for ever. It was an intriguing thing to say, and did, momentarily, have me wondering what it would be. An expanded contest of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hugo Sigal from Belgium is 77 today We celebrate the winners here. We also celebrate the also-rans. And, indeed, we celebrate the last places too. After all, there are many last-placed songs that are better known than the songs that beat them. Today we take a trip […]

#BIRTHDAY: Gerli Padar from Estonia is 45 today Estonia is one of those countries that sort of ‘gets’ Eurovision. They’ve qualified for Grand Finals more often than not of late, and were “New Europe’s” first winners. And Eurolaul/Eesti Laul has always been one of the high points of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katerine Duska from Greece is 35 today Props. They’re always that cherry on top of a performance that can make or break it. That is, the cherry could be something utterly delicious, or it could be one that’s been out a bit too long and is starting […]
#BIRTHDAY: Malena Ernman from Sweden is 54 today Yes, we pick on that powerhouse with the blue-and-yellow flag today. You’re probably already sitting up to see which lucky Swede it is. Well read on. Today’s birthday girl Sara Magdalena ‘Malena’ Ernman had a go at that very interesting […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lulu from the UK is 76 today Do you remember when the UK of stuff were good at Eurovision? Yes, since we hit the 21st Century their fortunes have waned a little, aside from a certain performance in Torino/Turin. But in their prime, the BBC were unstoppable. […]
