#BIRTHDAY: Jasmine from Finland is 48 today Eurovision always loves a good sing-a-long song. Those mumbly arty Swedish types have their place, but nothing can beat a jovial singer with a big hearty smile. And a guitar. OK, the guitar is an optional extra, but when you get […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gjon Delhusa from Hungary is 71 today We like looking at members of very exclusive clubs. There’s the double winner’s Club. That’s pretty exclusive. Then there’s the 2020-only Club. A little less sp. And then there’s another club with only four members. In 1993 and 1996 there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amila Glamočak from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 58 today Are you a fan of a ballad? They can be more heartfelt than a banger, but they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. There are many out there that are darn good, and should be in people’s all time […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maja Blagdan from Croatia is 56 today We’ve said it before, but some Eurovision performers can’t get enough of it. Some stop when they’ve finally made it to the bit time. Some just keep going… Maybe stopping at one appearance is the way to go. Today’s birthday […]

#BIRTHDAY: Elisabeth Andreassen is 66 today We have a real treat for you today. A legend of our favourite TV show. A massive name in singing circles, particularly in the Nordic world. And a former winner. And it’s definitely not Carola. Today’s birthday girl Elisabeth Gunilla Andreassen (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kaliopi from North Macedonia is 57 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: Gina G is 53 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 the curse of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Miriam Christine from Malta is 45 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. […]
