BIRTHDAY: Emma from the UK is 45 today Eurovision is mainly a young person’s game. Yes, even with the Junior version of our favourite TV show, the majority of performers at the senior even are in their teens and twenties. It must be the optimism of youth. In […]
BIRTHDAY: Toto Cutugno from Italy is 76 today A winner? Well, it’s been a while. And since there are nearly 70 of them, they’re bound to crop up once in a while. And is it a good winner? Back in 1990, when the contest was a small affair, […]
