#BIRTHDAY: Gracia from Germany is 43 today Our friends in Germany haven’t had the most consistent of times of late. Yes, they’ve had one win in this Century, but also a few results that were not quite as good. As you’ll know, we’ve had two contests in Kyiv, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luminița Anghel from Romania is 55 today Do you think that contests are coming and going quicker than ever? Yes, we’re now in October, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since JJ won in Basel/Basle. It was in 2005 – yes, 20 years ago – that today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marian van de Wal from Andorra is 55 today We have some interesting matching of nations. Latvia and Burkina Faso. Ukraine and Congo-Brazzaville. And there’s today’s singer. Maybe not quite as exotic, but just as noteworthy. Today’s birthday girl Marian van de Wal is Dutch by birth, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Javine from the UK is 43 today It’s that odd time when we’ve all got over Christmas (unless you’re orthodox) and we’re waiting for that end digit to tick over to a ‘5’. Has it been a good year for you? In a previous year that ended […]
#BIRTHDAY: Martin Vučić from North Macedonia is 42 today Who, among the list of countries that have never won, would you like to see win? And why? Is it because they have had good songs in the past? Is it because they have decent food and drink? Is […]
#BIRTHDAY: Omar Naber from Slovenia is 43 today Many people can claim to have a unique record in our favourite TV show. It could be their country’s only winner. Or the only person to win twice as a performer. More often – probably – are people who share […]
#BIRTHDAY: Glennis Grace from the Netherlands is 46 today Anyone can win the Eurovision Song Contest. There, I’ve said it. We cite the examples of Portugal and Finland. But there are others. Not too far back we had a win by our friends in the Netherlands. Over the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Donna McCaul from Ireland is 40 today The great thing about our favourite TV show is that it’s full of people who do nothing but try. They find favour in their country, they tour Europe, they put up with interview after interview. And they put their hearts […]
#BIRTHDAY: Constantinos from Cyprus is 47 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: Christine Guldbrandsen from Norway is 39 today Do you miss countries singing in their own languages? Or do you like the songs in English so you know what the performers are singing about? Our friends in Norway have – on the whole – stuck to English since […]
