#BIRTHDAY: 3 June – Monika Törnell from Sweden is 72 If you’re ever in a tight spot, you can always rely on Sweden. Yes, the favourite of Eurovisions worldwide has come to our aid again. Some out there will think that Sweden can do no wrong. They could […]
#BIRTHDAY: 20 May – Dora from Portugal is 60 We all know that Eurovision is a cut-and-thrust affair. You have three minutes (or possibly six) to sell yourself to that viewer in Switzerland or Finland, and that can be tough. So, apart from a decent song, how do […]
#BIRTHDAY: 1 May – Timna Brauer from Austria is 65 These days, our favourite TV show is fairly free and easy with language. If a country isn’t using its own language, then English is the favourite but not the only choice. Some songs even contain a plethora of […]
#BIRTHDAY: 29 Apr – Ketil Stokkan from Norway is 70 It’s nearly here. The most mad, fun and baffling two weeks of the year. For a certain type of person anyway. It baffles us why some people go year after year. Spending vast sums of money to mix […]
#BIRTHDAY: 19 Apr – Ingrid Peters from Germany is 71 Do you remember the contests back in the 1980s? They were a different affair to now, with countries often finishing in similar positions year in, year out. Our friends in Germany only managed one win, but also managed […]
#BIRTHDAY: 23 Feb – Lise Haavik is 64 It’s a common thing that countries don’t always pick a national when they’re deciding who should sing for them. That’s down to the country concerned, whether it’s right or wrong. Some places had almost no national singing for them. Sometimes […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kari from Finland is 65 today The free language rule. It’s part and parcel of the typical Eurovision experience. But in the 1980s it was a different story. Countries could only sing in languages of their own country. It perhaps gave an advantage to those more commonly-spoke […]
#BIRTHDAY: Doris Dragović from Croatia is 64 today It may come as a surprise to some people out there, but there were Eurovision Song Contests in the 20th Century. A tall story you might think, but definitely true. Today it’s the birthday of one of those performers for […]
#BIRTHDAY: Daniela Simons from Switzerland is 65 today Our friends in Switzerland were the first winners of our favourite TV show – no, it wasn’t L*r**n after all. And their span of wins stretches over 68 years. Unlikely ever to be beaten. But in addition to three wins, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sandra Kim from Belgium is 52 today It’s a well-known fact that Eurovision fans love records. No, not the seven-inch kind, but the “Who got the most 12s” sort of record. One of those of note is the youngest winner. It’s held, of course, by today’s birthday […]
