#BIRTHDAY: Emma Booth from the UK is 49 today Eurovision is mainly a young person’s game. Yes, even with the Junior version of our favourite TV show, the majority of performers at the senior even are in their teens and twenties. It must be the optimism of youth. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Filipa Azevedo from Portugal is 32 today What were you doing 13 years ago? Were you an ardent fan? Had you even discovered the contest? Or were you thinking it was time to take up hang-gliding instead of staying in on a Saturday night in May? If […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michael Ben David from Israel is 27 today Some countries have their stars. Those names that will attract a crowd whether it’s singing on stage, or at the local supermarket buying their favourite satay sauce. So many other aspire to be like that, but don’t quite make […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rui Bandeira from Portugal is 50 today Every Eurovision song will have its fans. Yes, even that one that you, dear reader, can’t stand. Someone will like it. It’s not so much songs are hated, they are more forgotten. In other news, do you remember 1999? We […]
