#BIRTHDAY: Sonia from the UK is 52 today Do you wish that contests were close these days? The current scoring makes things a little more dramatic, but there were days when it genuinely came down to the last set of votes. In the 1990s there were a couple […]
#BIRTHDAY: Barbara Dex from Belgium is 49 today You know sometimes when you look at song, and then realise it was in our favourite TV show nearly 30 years ago. It really makes you feel old. I was bumbling along nicely until I noticed today’s song and its […]
