#BIRTHDAY: Georgina Abela from Malta is 64 today What is it with some countries that takes years out of our favourite TV show? They’re in, they’re out… To be fair, finances pay a role, as getting a singer on stage for three (or six, or maybe nine) minutes […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sergio Dalma from Spain is 58 today As you’ll know, the rules of our favourite TV show impose a strict three minute on sing duration. It has been more in the past, but when one 1950s singer had a song that lasted in the region of five […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dulce from Portugal is 53 today We’re in Italy for a certain musical event next month. So when an act has a birthday who performed in Italy the last time the contest was held there, it piques my interest. Very soon, some countries will be on stage […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amina from France is 60 today There are songs that become classics for various reasons. They could be winners. They could be insanely bad. Or it could be by accident. Back in 1991, you could argue we were in a very chaotic contest. Chaos from a presenter. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Thomas Forstner from Austria is 52 today Today we delve into that murky realm of the repeat performer. You know the one. They have a stab at winning the thing, they get an admirable result, and then try again. It’s that second attempt that lets them down. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sarah Bray from Luxembourg is 55 today Who’s looking forward to an Italian contest in 2022? Now the new season has started, we can look forward to a whole new crop of songs, sung by (possibly) a whole new crop of singers. But let’s look back to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carola from Sweden is 55 today We know you like our birthday feature. Well this is one you won’t want to miss. Sweden is – in some eyes – the pinnacle of Eurovision-ness. So when a Swedish birthday comes along, we’re going to celebrate it. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Peppino di Capri from Italy is 82 today As we’ll all know, we should be in Italy next May for a riotous cavalcade of quality song. One thing that’s amongst the highlights is the home entry. Does the host broadcaster want to go for a double, or […]
