#BIRTHDAY: Maja Blagdan from Croatia is 53 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: Constantinos from Cyprus is 44 today Do you like it when singers try several times? Sometimes they can win on a second attempt. Sometimes they don’t quite do as well as their first appearance. Some even come back after a win. Today’s birthday boy Κωνσταντίνος Χριστοφόρου/Constantinos Christoforou […]
BIRTHDAY: Bettan from Norway is 63 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 […]
#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: 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. […]
