BIRTHDAY: Jacques Zegers from Belgium is 72 today What do you think of the stages? Are they too over the top? Do they compliment a song perfectly? And do performers need to make the most of them? Back in 1984, we had a typical stage for the age. […]
Year after year Eurovision competitors try to reinvent the wheel and impress us with either a heart-felt performance, strong visuals or powerful voices. Some try to have it all; sometimes it works, other times it’s just too much for the viewers to handle. Today we’re going to look […]
BIRTHDAY: Vilija from Lithuania is 33 today Do you ever wonder what happens to those singers that don’t make it to a Grand Final? There are a large number of acts who have nothing to do after Wednesday and Friday mornings. The thing to do is for them […]
Submissions are now open for this year’s Cerbul de Aur – commonly known as the Golden Stag Festival. Artists from Romania and beyond have until Saturday 6th July to enter. Last year, several Eurovision Song Contest alumni took park – including Ireland’s very own Ryan O’Shaughnessy. This year’s […]
BIRTHDAY: Jean-Karl Lucas from France is 37 today Do you remember 2018? We were in sunny sunny Lisbon. Everyone was tipping certain countries to win. Or do badly. They got some predictions right. And some, well, not quite as right. As with every year recently, the Big Five […]
On Sunday 30th June, RTVE will be revealing whether or not they will be returning to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest this year. The announcement will be made during “RTVE response”, which will be broadcast at 13:00 CET on La 2. The question of Spain returning is brought […]
BIRTHDAY: Nucha from Portugal is 53 today What do you now? It’s more Lusitanian singing that was largely ignored by the juries of Europe. I’ll admit that not everything Portugal did was good, but they deserved better some years. Back in 1990, Eurovision was a simpler affair. We […]
A couple of weeks ago, we revealed that Moldova and Montenegro wouldn’t be returning to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest this year – we can now look at a further four countries that won’t be returning. Croatia’s broadcaster, HRT have revealed that they won’t return to the Contest […]
BIRTHDAY: Maria Guinot from Portugal would have been 74 today Even though most countries like to use English to sing in at our favourite TV show, it’s nice to hear something that’s truer to its roots. Portuguese was a very misunderstood language until 2017. But if you were […]
If you haven’t heard yet about Alexandro Kröger Degerfeldt, you are about to be amazed now. The 26 year old Eurovision fan from Umeå, Sweden, has an unique hobby – he builds Eurovision stages with legos! This year he amazed yet again the Eurovision community by reimagining the […]
To celebrate Dublin’s Pride Parade this weekend, we here at Eurovision Ireland are taking a look back at some of the superstars of LGBTQ culture who have graced the Eurovision stage over the years – that’s right, it’s time to look at Eurovision drag queens! Thanks to shows […]
BIRTHDAY: Tanja from Estonia is 36 today Should a song be all about singing, or should it be about the whole package? That is, the singing, the dancing, the costumes, even the camera work? Our winner this year was all about the song, but it’s not always the […]
BIRTHDAY: Heddy Lester from the Netherlands is 69 today Dutch? You want Dutch? Of course you do. They’ve got lots to choose from, and four five winners. So it’s nice to dip into the Dutch pool of birthday talent from time to time. Today we go back to […]
BIRTHDAY: RiskyKidd from Greece is 25 today Have you noticed an increase in collaborations? No? Well, maybe not necessarily in Eurovision circles, but definitely in the wider world of music. But what happens in music eventually permeates to Eurovision. And in 2014 Greece entered a collaboration between Freaky […]
BIRTHDAY: Anabel Conde from Spain is 44 today Second, eh? Is there a more annoying position? Well, if you’re the home entry, then maybe not if you’re the host broadcaster. But if you’ve travelled half-way across Europe with high hopes, then finishing second and finishing sixteenth are about […]
