#BIRTHDAY: Nicola from Romania is 57 today Have you ever know what friends are for? Yes, we’ve picked an actual song lyric to open today’s birthday homage. We all need friends, but in some quarters friendships are getting a little strained of late. Our favourite TV show was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oleksandr from Ukraine is 52 today The joy of being your country’s first ever entrant in our favourite TV show. You’ve gone where no-one from your country has ever been before, and no-one can take away the fact you were the first. Your status as your country’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vaiko Eplik from Estonia is 44 today You can always spot when a country is gearing up for a win. It’s happened often when they get in their groove for a few years, and then win that crystal microphone. But what happens after that? Some countries keep […]
#BIRTHDAY: Esther Hart from the Netherlands is 55 today There are some times when we wish that more than one country could win our favourite TV show. Not always because there are two or more songs that are worthy. But because it’s been so long since some countries […]

#BIRTHDAY: Louisa Baïleche from France is 48 today Our friends in France have been in our favourite TV show since the start. Yes, that’s even those contests in the 20th Century. Five wins in that time too, although nothing more than a runner-up spot since 1977. Over forty […]
#BIRTHDAY: Beth from Spain is 43 today Do you admire countries for sticking to their own languages? Or do you wish they can all sing in a tongue you can understand? Our friends in Spain have – almost without exception – always had their national language in their […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sertab from Türkiye is 60 today Many countries have very inconsistent results. For years they could finish way down the scoreboard. And then they win. It makes that win all the more sweeter. It came as a shock to a lot of us when our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alf Poier from Austria is 57 today Eurovision is full of wonder. I often wonder why Schlager is so popular. Or why Carola is so popular. Or even why we never see Monaco anymore. But what also makes me wonder sometimes is why certain countries pick certain […]
#BIRTHDAY: Karmen Stavec from Slovenia is 50 today Do you wonder why some songs change the language they’re sing in between the selection and the contest? It could be because of the worry that a language might not sound right to a wider audience. It can sometimes work, […]
