#BIRTHDAY: Dana International from Israel is 54 today There have been around 50 soloist winners of our favourite TV show, so that averages out at about one winner per week. Luckily, we have a solo winner today. But who? It’s a winner from the 20th Century, who set […]

#BIRTHDAY: Kalomira from Greece is 38 today It’s an old adage that when you’re on that hallowed Eurovision stage, you really need something to push home the fact that you could be worthy of winning on that Saturday night – assuming you make it through a cut-throat semi-final. […]

#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 […]
