#BIRTHDAY: Stevan Faddy from Montenegro is 35 today 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. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eric Papilaya from Austria is 43 today We often mention the props acts use to enhance their three minutes on stage. But just think of the stage hands. Their hearts must sink , especially as they have 45 seconds or so to get one act off stage […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hanna Pakarinen from Finland is 40 today Would you want to be the home entrant if you were in a Eurovision Song Contest. You have no issues with the host country’s culture, but you won’t get to travel to somewhere exotic. On the plus side, the crowd […]
#BIRTHDAY: Magdi Rúzsa from Hungary is 35 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. […]
HALLOWE’EN: Eurovision goes bump in the night Hallowe’en and Eurovision. Does it scare you? Do you tremble on 31 October when you get a sinister knock at your door? Are you relieved when you find out it’s only the local kids going trick-or-treating? Or do you leave the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dado Topić from Croatia is 71 today 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 not quite […]
#BIRTHDAY: Koldun from Belarus is 35 today It can be tough breaking into the elite of Eurovision these days. Some countries try their hardest and often linger in the semi-finals. So imagine how it feels to make that breakthrough into a Grand Final. For what could be an […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kenan Doğulu from Turkey is 46 today Let’s be honest – our friends in 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 in 2012. Over the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sarbel from Greece is 39 today Our friends in Greece were, to be fair, a country with very little success during the 20th Century. Everything changed in Copenhagen, and that win suddenly came within reach. As we know, Helena Paparizou eventually pulled it off, and a crop […]
BIRTHDAY: Hanna Pakarinen from Finland is 39 today If you were fortunate enough to be a Eurovision performer, would you want to do it in your home country. If you were a participant in 2019, the chances are you were from somewhere colder than Tel Aviv. So going […]
