#BIRTHDAY: 10 Sept – Stoyan Yankoulov from Bulgaria is 60 There’s a word we want to use today, as today’s song reminds us of it. It might feature in this article, or we might save it for another time. Our friends in Bulgaria took a while to find […]
#BIRTHDAY: 4 Sept – Dado Topić from Croatia is 77 We celebrate all manner of things with our birthdays. The winners, the losers, the ‘also-ran’s. They all count, and you can guarantee that someone out there will like every single Eurovision song. So just occasionally, a song might […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 Sept – Stevan Faddy from Montenegro is 40 You know when you’re new at something, and you’re really enthusiastic about it? You want to make a good impression, and so you put on your best frock, your best voice, and you try to be dead nice. […]
#BIRTHDAY: 4 July – Eiríkur Hauksson from Iceland is 67 Today we’ve got one of those performers who keeps coming back. Once isn’t enough. Neither is twice. So maybe third time lucky is the way to go. Today’s birthday boy Eiríkur Hauksson has tried three times to win […]
#BIRTHDAY: 31 May – Sopho Khalvashi from Georgia is 40 The first decade of this century saw a big expansion of the amount of countries taking part in our favourite TV show. Fifteen countries débuted. That’s more countries than took part in the first contests. One such début […]
#BIRTHDAY: 25 Feb – Evridiki from Cyprus is 58 You have to admire those that keep coming back time after time. The first couple of times, you sing a song written by your fiancé/husband. The third time, you don’t. It’s a story as old as time. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Magdi Rúzsa from Hungary is 40 today We miss Hungary. There, we’ve said it. Putting politics aside, they’ve put in some memorable stuff since that début in sunny Ljubljana in 1993. It’s not all been plain sailing, but without Hungary, it would be a far poorer contest. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kenan Doğulu from Türkiye is 51 today Let’s be honest – our friends in Türkiye/Turkey are sorely missed from our favourite TV show. They added that bit of exotica to proceedings, and were gunning for another win when they abruptly stopped coming along after the 2012 shows. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ola Salo from Sweden is 48 today Do you always pay attention to the lyric of a song? Or do you get carried away by sequins and stage shows. Well today, you possibly you get the whole gamut, so this is likely to please you whatever you’re […]
#BIRTHDAY: DQ from Denmark is 52 today Our favourite TV show can be a glamorous affair, and many people just tune in for the costumes. They must just like shiny things. Well that might explain a certain Ukrainian with a star on their head. Of course, there’s more […]
