#BIRTHDAY: Samir Javadzadeh from Azerbaijan is 43 today It’s duet time again. Are you excited? It means you get two stellar performers for the price of one. They get to share the duties, so don’t wear themselves out too much. And it sometimes means they can make more […]
#BIRTHDAY: Morena from Malta is 39 today We all know that Eurovision should be a family affair. Yes, most of the fans are men, but there’s nothing to stop families settling down on a Saturday evening. So if it’s for a family audience, are there any subjects that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sébastien Tellier from France is 48 today Gimmick. A song needs a gimmick. But what to choose. We’ve had costume changes, wind machine, and pyros. But they were becoming so old hat by 2008. What’s a performer to do? In 2008, our friends in France sent Sébastian […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kalomira from Greece is 38 today It’s an old adage that when you’re on that hallowed Eurovision stage, you really need something to push home the fact that you could be worthy of winning on that Saturday night – assuming you make it through a cut-throat semi-final. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefan Filipović from Montenegro is 36 today The semi-finals are a curious thing. Draw is everything if you have to compete in one. It’s true that ten songs will qualify, which give you a better than average chance of making it through. But it does help if […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gisela from Andorra is 44 today Happy New Year! And may your dreams for 2023 all come true. Whether it’s trying your first lobster thermidore, taking that trip to Funchal, or that [insert country here] wins the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool on 13 May. But you’re […]
#CHRISTMAS2022: Eurovision Ireland Advent Calendar Day 14 Christmas is a-coming, so we at Eurovision Ireland want to share some notable performances by Eurovision acts of festive songs. Some are standards, and some may be new to you. Today’s song is… Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
#BIRTHDAY: Hind from the Netherlands is 38 today The heart is a curious thing. It’s often shown as something red, cute and, well, heart-shaped. But if you physically held one, it probably wouldn’t quite look the same. Or give you the same feeling of delight. And there are […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vrčak from North Macedonia is 42 today It’s one thing to be a soloist, another to be half of a duo, but another thing entirely to be part of a trio. Do you give yourselves a fancy name? Or do you insist that all of you get […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jelena Tomašević from Serbia is 39 today We’ve got another home entrant here. They will always occupy a special place in Eurovision lore, as there has only been 66 of them. A small number have won, and a number have done the opposite. Maybe it’s best to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jeronimas Milius from Lithuania is 38 today Sometimes a song comes along and I don’t know what to say about it. It’s not a winner. It’s not a notorious last place. And many of you might have even forgotten it was ever entered. In other news, after […]
#BIRTHDAY: Charlotte Perrelli from Sweden is 48 today One of the golden rules of our favourite TV show is this: If you win, leave it at that. You’ve reached the pinnacle, so don’t try again. It’ll end in tears. Unless you’re Seán Sherrard. Cast your mind back to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vânia Fernandes from Portugal is 37 today You want a cracker of a song? One that has everything? Power? Emotion? Wind machines? Wafty dresses? Marzipan? Well, maybe not the marzipan, but look no further. Still intrigued? Well today’s song comes from that breed that everyone wants to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rebeka Dremelj from Slovenia is 42 today Stage acts have come a long way over the years. It was once ground-breaking when a Dane had two dancers mincing around behind her in Luxembourg. Now, that would be seen as twee or just plain daft. These days, you […]
BIRTHDAY: Evdokia Kadi from Cyprus is 41 today One of these days, we know we’ll be off to sunny Cyprus for an edition of our favourite TV show. In 37 contests, they’ve managed one runner-up spot. But as you’ll know from Portugal, Austria and Finland, past performance is […]
