#BIRTHDAY: José Cid from Portugal is 81 today I mention from time to time that we love someone who tries. Even though they’ll never be the continent’s favourite. Often through no fault of their own. Actually, today’s birthday boy did really well for his native Portugal, and his […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dana International from Israel is 54 today There have been around 50 soloist winners of our favourite TV show, so that averages out at about one winner per week. Luckily, we have a solo winner today. But who? It’s a winner from the 20th Century, who set […]

#OBITUARY: Tzvika Pick Israeli singer-songwriter Tzvika Pick has died at the age of 72. Among his many achievements, he wrote a Eurovision winner. Tzvika was born in Wrocław in 1949 as Henryk Pick, emigrating to Israel in 1957. In the 1970s, he was one of Israel’s top pop […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mikel Herzog from Spain is 62 today Isn’t it often the way that you can tell where someone’s from, just by their name? If it ends in ‘dottir’, it’s usually Icelandic. Or if it ends in ‘ić’, it’s usually from a lot further south-east. So imagine Europe’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lars A Fredriksen from Norway is 51 today It’s been 23 long years since the free language rules was re-introduced. Is it a good thing? Well, there have only been three winners since 1999 that had no English in them. So is it a good thing? Well, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Chiara from Malta is 45 today Do you remember the 1990s? It was a fine decade when our favourite TV show moved in the general direction of getting bigger and bigger. A certain country returned in that decade, after a 16 year absence. Can you guess which […]
#BIRTHDAY: Danijela from Croatia is 50 today Opening a contest. Is there anything more daunting? Well, being on second or sixteenth is no fun as those positions have never won. However, if you get it over with , then it means you can hit that free bar earlier […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jill Johnson from Sweden is 48 today Hold on to your hats – it’s Sweden. You must remember them? Long country in northern Europe. A popular beat combo did well for them in the 1970s. Some fans take an unhealthy interest in the country’s fortunes. Got it […]
#BIRTHDAY: Guildo Horn from Germany is 58 today Sometimes there are no words to describe a performance at our favourite TV show. They put on a show that’s so outrageous that you can’t help but watch for three minutes (and occasionally six or even nine minutes). Back in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Edsilia Rombley is 43 today There’s a small but exclusive club of performers who have done a certain other thing at our favourite contest – become hosts. The first was Corry Brokken in 1976. One more individual will earn their membership this year. So following Corry, Yardena, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Koit Toome from Estonia is 42 today What better way to kick off 2021 with the birthday of some who may get to Rotterdam in May. It’s often nice when we see people having another go at winning European singing’s biggest prize. Back in 1998, we saw […]
