#BIRTHDAY: Dan Ar Braz from France is 73 today It’s always good when we hear interesting and ‘minor’ languages at our favourite TV show. Sure, English is understood by a large amount of viewers, but you need to give credit to countries taking chances. Of course, between 1978 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kaliopi from North Macedonia is 54 today We often talk about those that take part in our favourite TV show over and over again. And also we talk about those trailblazers. Well, today we have someone who fulfils both criteria. Back in 1996, you’ll know that there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lúcia Moniz from Portugal is 44 today Portugal? Why have they only had one win? They have a Latin-based language so some nations can ‘sort of’ understand them. It’s warm and sunny, and who doesn’t love a bit of warmth and sun, especially if you’re northern. Aside […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gina G from the UK is 50 today If you were a Eurovision performer, eagerly awaiting the draw for the Grand Final, what would your worse fear be? Being on first? Being on last? Being on second maybe? I would wager your average performer wouldn’t know about […]
We have grown to know and love Eurovision over the years and since its debut way back in 1956, when Lys Assia took home the very first trophy in Switzerland,we have seen many artists come and go through the contest all enjoying their time of glory in front […]
BIRTHDAY: Eimear Quinn is 47 today A winner? What’s that? You want a winner? But not a recent one? Well, you’ve come to the right place. And it’s winner that no-one has yet equalled. No, they’re not Swedish – those six-win also-rans. We’re talking about the one person […]
BIRTHDAY: Antonio Carbonell from Spain is 50 today If you’re a true fan of our favourite TV show, you’ll know that before 2004, there were two pre-selections that became the bloodbaths that we’re so used to now. In 1996, the pre-selection was only done in an audio stylee. […]
BIRTHDAY: Miriam Christine from Malta is 41 today Do you ever wonder how some people from one country end up in another? Or how someone’s parents got together, in order that someone has an unusual dual nationality? A certain Burkinabé-Latvian combination must be one of the most unusual. […]
BIRTHDAY: Ivo Linna from Estonia is 70 today Hooray! A big birthday! And a legend’s. Well, we think he is anyway. It’s from the time when a certain Baltic nation started to show us what it could via the gift of song. It’s a very important thing in […]
BIRTHDAY: Lisa del Bo from Belgium is 58 today Do you ever hear a song and think that it sounds a lot like another song? It’s not quite plagiarism, but there are similarities that you can’t ignore. The plagiarism allegation is levelled at songs every year, usually without […]
IRELAND: Where does Eimear Quinn come from? It may sound like an odd question, but contest sponsor MyHeritage has been doing research into the past of Ireland’s last winner, and has found some interesting results. First, she is not completely Irish. Mostly, yes, but there are some other […]
