#BIRTHDAY: Kirsten Siggaard from Denmark is 68 today I know, I know. We’ve had too much obscurity of late. Songs you may have seen once and forgotten about have their place. Today is different. First, today’s song comes from the scientifically-proven best Eurovision of all time. And it’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margo from Luxembourg is 61 today I know you love a song that crosses the boundaries of our different tastes, and is something that can do no wrong. Today must fit that bill if any song can. It has almost everything. Three songwriters, of which two are […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kikki Danielsson from Sweden is 70 today It’s home entrant time again. When you look through the years, several nations have had more home entrants than others – obviously. These may have been because their country won the previous year, or maybe because their country picked up […]
#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: Romina Power from Italy is 70 today You can’t beat a nice little greeting to get you in a good mood. And today’s song is three minutes of good mood. In fact, if you were to watch the contest this song came from, you’d have about two […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lia Vissi from Cyprus is 66 today Sisters. Sisters. Never were there such devoted sisters. You know the rest. But sisters have been know to be drawn to our favourite TV show. Whether they perform as equals. Or one with a higher billing then the other. Or […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Christian from Ireland is 56 today It’s often interesting how certain Eurovision stars crop up in the most interesting of places.
