#BIRTHDAY: John Lundvik from Sweden is 40 today Do you ever see a song in our favourite TV show and think it’s definitely definitely going to do well? You’re so sure you’ll put money on it winning? That particular song might be from, say, Sweden, so you’re on […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gary Lux from Austria is 64 today What was the best contest of all time? Yes, it was 1985. It’s been scientifically proven*. So any act that took part in that contest in Göteborg should be very proud of themselves. After all, when Lys Assia is the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tina Karol from Ukraine is 38 today Who doesn’t love a good thigh-slapper of a song. It’s more than just plain old Schlager. A good old banger that will fill a dance floor, even if the lyric isn’t the most profound in the world. A thigh-slapper with […]
#BIRTHDAY: Barbara Dex from Belgium is 49 today You know sometimes when you look at song, and then realise it was in our favourite TV show nearly 30 years ago. It really makes you feel old. I was bumbling along nicely until I noticed today’s song and its […]
#NORWAY: Live blog of MGP SF2 from 19.50 CET Norway’s quest for another Eurovision win continues apace tonight, with NRK’s second semi-final of Melodi Grand Prix 2023. Seven songs will go in, and three will progress. Could Norway’s song for Liverpool come from tonight’s show? We’ll be blogging […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marian van de Wal from Andorra is 53 today We have some interesting matching of nations. Latvia and Burkina Faso. Ukraine and Congo-Brazzaville. And there’s today’s singer. Maybe not quite as exotic, but just as noteworthy. Today’s birthday girl Marian van de Wal is Dutch by birth, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Lena Philipsson from Sweden is 57 today Now we know a certain country with a blue and yellow flag has excelled in our favourite TV show. You may even think they could win this coming year. And no, I’m not talking about Palau. The truth is that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefan Filipović from Montenegro is 36 today The semi-finals are a curious thing. Draw is everything if you have to compete in one. It’s true that ten songs will qualify, which give you a better than average chance of making it through. But it does help if […]
#BIRTHDAY: Françoise Hardy is 79 today Over the years, our favourite TV show has had more than its fair share of big stars. Not those that have one bite at the cherry, and mainly stick to a certain circuit of events year in, year out. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Wrs from Romania is 30 today If you were to take part in our favourite TV show as a singer, would you use your own name, or would you use a pseudonym. A stage name, if you will. It’s proved quite successful down the years from the […]
