#BIRTHDAY: Eva Santamaría from Spain is 50 today The 1990s, particularly 1993 saw a big change in our favourite TV show. We saw the first ever semi-final because everyone wanted to sing. And we went to the very west of our continent, to a settlement of 1,800 people. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Patrick Fiori is 52 today It’s always nice to hear a song that’s not English. But even more special when we hear a proper minority language. Our friends in France have gone down that road in the past with, among others, Breton and Antillean Creole. They’ve also […]

#BIRTHDAY: Katy Garbi from Greece is 59 today Do you remember when our friends in Greece were struggling to get any success in our favourite TV show? Those times have changed, and Greece can mix it with the best of them now. In the 1990s, there was a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Silje Vige from Norway is 36 today Can you imagine how it feels if you’re closing a contest. And not just closing any old contest, but closing the biggest contest the world had ever seen at the time. And imaging doing all of this if you were […]
