BIRTHDAY: Debbie Scerri from Malta is 50 today Everyone likes the winners of contests, but we all like those that try, try, and try again. Even if they don’t always quite get that illusive victory. I’m taking about Malta. It’s the Mediterranean’s happiest rock and will be there […]
BIRTHDAY: Rita from Israel is 57 today Unless you’ve been on Saturn’s biggest moon, or some parts of the USA, you’ll know that the Eurovision circus will be heading to sunny Israel in May. So it’s nice when an Israeli birthday comes up. Some will associate Israeli songs […]
YOUTUBE: How is your favourite doing? 17-24 March Every year, we look at which songs are the Youtube favourites. Last year, Netta’s Toy was the favourite, and we know what happened to her. So will this year’s most-watched official video suffer the same fate? The figures for 17 […]
BIRTHDAY: Franco Battiato from Italy is 74 today You wait ages for a duet, and then two come along almost once. But they are duets done in very different styles. That probably happens for any two things 29 years apart. When we saw the Georgian duet, it was […]

Denmark, one of the original participants at the inaugural Eurovision Choir in Riga, has been added to the participation list for Gothenburg. DR were in talks with the European Broadcasting Union following the release of the original participation list. Catalonia’s TV3 could still appear as a possible debutant […]
BIRTHDAY: Sopho Gelovani from Georgia is 35 today Songs get some by performers in many forms. I like soloists as they can put everything into their singing. I also like groups as they can share the load and bounce off each other. And then there are duets. Duets […]
BIRTHDAY: Lucie Jones from the UK is 28 today What do you think of the Big Five? Should they get an automatic place in the final, or should they have to go through the semi-finals like the rest of us? It’s true that the Big Five do have […]
