#BIRTHDAY: Enrico Ruggeri from Italy is 66 today It must be good to be in at the start of something. In years to come, you can tell your family you were there, and part of it. This particular ‘thing’ is the expansion of our favourite TV show. The […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eldar Gasimov from Azerbaijan is 34 today It’s duo time! And with two singers you get double the chance of seeing what could be your favourite song played. And, for some, this will be their favorite song of all time. Cast your mind back to 2011. A […]
#BIRTHDAY: Esther Hart from the Netherlands is 53 today There are some times when I wish that more than one country could win our favourite TV show. Not always because there are two or more songs that are worthy. But because it’s been so long since some countries […]
