#BIRTHDAY: Glennis Grace from the Netherlands is 44 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. Recently we had a win by our friends in the Netherlands. Over the years, the Dutch […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ledina Çelo from Albania is 45 today It can be a strange thing being a country’s second ever participant in our favourite TV show. Especially if the first entrant did well. That second entrant has a hard act to follow. In 2005, today’s birthday girl Ledina Çelo […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lise Darly is 40 today Those semi-finals are a brutal affair. The potential classic songs that fall by the wayside, meaning a possible winner has to watch from the sidelines. We can all name several. For those places that can’t get out of the semi-finals, it’s understandable […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gracia from Germany is 39 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: Nuno Resende is 48 today What do you think of people from one Eurovision country singing for another? Is it right or should a broadcaster stick to their own nationals, or at least nationals from non-participating nations? Today’s birthday boy Nuno Resende is a native of Portugal, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Shiri Maimon from Israel is 40 today It’s good that many different genres of music make it to our favourite TV show. Could you imagine if all we got was, for example, Schlager? Schlager Schlager Schlager all the way. How dull. So it’s good the old ballad […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jakob Sveistrup from Denmark is 49 today We all love our Eurovision stars for their music, but many have other strings to their bow. That is, outside of the music industry. They’ve come from many different backgrounds, from dentists to politicians. Today’s birthday boy Jakob Sveistrup was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marian van de Wal from Andorra is 51 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 39 today The United Kingdom has had a torrid time of late. Up until the free language rule, they could do almost no wrong. However now, getting out of the right-hand side of the scoreboard is an achievement. Where did it all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luminița Anghel from Romania is 52 today Do you think that contests are coming and going quicker than ever? Yes, 2020 didn’t happen, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since Duncan won in Tel Aviv. It was in 2005 – yes, 15 years ago – that today’s […]
