#BIRTHDAY: Izhar Cohen from Israel is 71 today Everyone loves a winner. In fact, if you leave it at one appearance and one win, you’ll always be a winner. But why stop at one win? You could win twice. It’s been done. But it’s also very high-risk. Many […]
#BIRTHDAY: Søren Bundgaard from Denmark is 66 today We often discuss the idea of a gimmick on here. Sometimes they work, like a job lot of waving cats. Sometimes not, in the case of a giant apricot stone. Of course, the gimmick doesn’t have to be inanimate. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hanne Krogh from Norway is 66 today Eurovision has had a lot of innovations over the years. Of course the most recent ones include the new voting structure and HD, but the changes go back for years. Can you imagine, for example, Eurovision songs without preview videos? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sonja Lumme from Finland is 60 today I like writing this column, as it sometimes allows me to pick my favourite songs from time to time. Today’s one of those days. But please be assured there were contests before 2001. But which is this legendary song? It […]

#BIRTHDAY: Maria Christian from Ireland is 56 today It’s often interesting how certain Eurovision stars crop up in the most interesting of places.

#BIRTHDAY: Pino Gasparini from Switzerland is 75 today It must he tough when you perform at a Eurovision Song Contest, knowing the guest of honour is there watching you. Not only that, but when the guest of honour won for your country, there must be a lot of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gary Lux from Austria is 62 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: Paloma San Basilio from Spain is 70 today We often get massive stars taking part in our favourite TV show. They may not be household names worldwide, but it doesn’t mean they’re not respected in their sphere. Today’s birthday girl Paloma Cecilia San Basilio Martínez is a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Takis Biniaris from Greece is 65 today Being last to perform at our favourite TV show must be at least as tricky as performing first. If you’re on first, you’ve got an audience to warm up. If you’re on last, you’ve had to watch everyone else perform. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lill Lindfors is 80 today The last two days we’ve had ladies from Sweden in this slot. And guess, what, here comes another one. Flickorna tar över, as they say in sunny Växjö. Now, Kikki and Sahlene could only manage a pitiful third in their respective contests, […]
