#BIRTHDAY: Claudette Pace from Malta is 55 today We’re already over 20 contests into the 21st Century. Where has the time gone? It only seems like yesterday since we were at Globen for the first time, when it was a shiny building with a large ornamental lake instead […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jimmie Wilson is 42 today Who doesn’t love a duo? After all, with two singers for the price of one, you’re bound to connect with at least 50% of the singers trying to sell you a song. Our friends in San Marino have tried a few different […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sopho from Georgia is 38 today Did you ever wonder what songwriters are thinking of when they come up with titles? Do they go for something long – like Barry White – or something brief, to the point, and easy to search for on Google*. Shorter song […]
