#BIRTHDAY: Linda Wagenmakers from the Netherlands is 50 today A prop is always a good thing to make your song stand out just that little bit more than the rest. The question is: what kind of prop do you use? It could be a big sparkly glitter ball. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Goran Karan from Croatia is 61 today Over the years, some countries have been gunning for a win, only for that time to pass without success. They then slip back into obscurity. Of course, past performance is no guide to future performance. But when you look at […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pınar Ayhan from Türkiye is 53 today Do you miss Türkiye/Turkey? They weren’t always every juror’s favourite, but they did bring a little extra something to the contests they took part in. They even won once, which proves that anyone can win – yes, even that country […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jørgen Olsen from Denmark is 75 today We love all the songs we pick for this birthdays feature – generally. And all manner of fates befall them. Some get stuck in the twilight zone of a semi-final. Some do much better. Today we have one that did […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oddrun Valestrand from Norway is 51 today We often pick members of duos, as they we know they can provide a bit of variety. Today, we pick a member of a trio. Yes, when they perform you get three for the price of one. What could be […]

#BIRTHDAY: Nicki French has a birthday today Those decades keep on coming, and it’s the turn of that which some call the ‘noughties’. It’s an odd term, so we’ll just call it the first decade of the 21st Century. Sure, you could argue that today’s song was still […]
#BIRTHDAY: Reynard Cowper from Latvia is 50 today The début entry. It can produce the most mixed of results. Does a brand new country ‘get’ Eurovision? Or have they been ignoring it for years and just hoping for the best? Début countries have won, and début countries have […]
#BIRTHDAY: August from Iceland is 51 today It’s duet time. And one from over 20 years ago. It’s scary that when we talk about over 20 years ago, we can still be in the 21st Century. Does it make you feel old? In 2000, today’s birthday boy August […]
