#BIRTHDAY: 13 June – Kasia Kowalska from Poland is 53 Which country would you like to see win for the first time? For us, for years, it was Portugal. Then we had 2017… These days it would have to be somewhere like Malta. Or Georgia. Or maybe Poland. […]
#BIRTHDAY: 9 June – Lisa del Bo from Belgium is 65 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, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 17 Apr – Mariana from Greece is 71 As we often say, there were Eurovision Song Contests before the year 2000. Can you imagine that? A 20th Century contest? Well, some of them even churned out good songs. Can you believe it? Today’s song comes from the […]
#BIRTHDAY: 6 Apr – Maria Rådsten from Sweden is 60 Our friends in Sweden sometimes get a bad rap for sending the same sort of over-produced stuff to Eurovision year after year. Yes, it sometimes pays dividends, and they are one of the few countries that seem to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maarja-Liis Ilus from Estonia is 45 today If you’re anything like us, you’ll be starting your festivities very shortly. Or it could be tomorrow. Or it could be early next month. Whenever it is, have fun and make the most of it. But enough of a good […]
#BIRTHDAY: Antonio Carbonell from Spain is 56 today Eurovision is a funny old thing. You can be up one moment, and have your hopes dashed the next. Take those pesky semi-finals/preselections for example. You get through, not quite knowing how, but hoping for the best. A precursor to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Regina from Slovenia is 60 today Some think semi-finals are a 21st Century thing. But they go way back, well to the 1990s. In 1996 so many countries wanted to take part that there was an audio-taped pre-selection to cut it down to a mere 23 songs. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ivo Linna from Estonia is 76 today Hooray! A legend’s birthday! Well, we think he is anyway. It’s from the time when a certain Baltic nation started to show us what it could do via the gift of song. It’s a very important thing in that nation. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nanne Grönvall from Sweden is 63 today We know that you, dear reader, love Sweden. It’s had numerous wins, and a whole bunch of good results. And because those Swedes like their Eurovision, familiar names keep cropping up. One of those frequent names is today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Martin Loft from Denmark is 50 today Eurovision, for all its brightness and glamour, has the odd dark corner tucked away that people rarely venture into. There are other dark corners that some will keenly venture into, but that’s another story. One such less-visited dark corner is […]
