BIRTHDAY: Nico from Romania is 50 today We’ve made it through January. Are you pleased? It means we’re a month closer to our favourite TV show. Are you getting excited? Has your favourite country picked its song yet? Or do you have a favourite already? With forty-one countries […]
BIRTHDAY: Sirusho from Armenia is 33 today There are plenty of countries that have never won, and we all love them for trying. One day soon, we’ll get another début winner. Who will it be? More to the point, if you go to the shows, where would you […]
BIRTHDAY: Gisela from Andorra is 41 today Happy New Year! And may your dreams for 2020 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 Rotterdam on 16 May. But you’re […]
BIRTHDAY: Dima Bilan from Russia is 38 today As you’ll know, some people can’t get enough of the drug that is the Eurovision stage. Some we like to see back. Some even do better second time round. The trouble with this article is that we have to pick […]
BIRTHDAY: Vrčak from North Macedonia is 39 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 giver yourselves a fancy name? Or do you insist that all of you get […]
BIRTHDAY: Ruslan Alekhno from Belarus is 38 today We’re going east today. Not that far east, but east enough to be in a different time zone. Lovely Belarus has never won the big contest, but they’re getting there slowly. In all Belarus’s years, they’ve only performed in Belarusian […]
BIRTHDAY: Jeronimus Milius from Lithuania is 35 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: Andy Abraham from the UK is 55 today Do you think performers like to publicise the fact they’ve taken part in our favourite TV show? Do they make the most of it, or just pretend it never happened? When they’re selected, they must think that they’ll never […]
USA: Eurovision performers from across the pond Whilst Eurovision is distinctly a European, Mediterranean and Australian affair, our friends across the Atlantic have occasionally been called in to help countries with their songs. As rumours always swirls around about a US version of Eurovision, or a US broadcaster […]
BIRTHDAY: Morena from Malta is 35 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: Stefan Filipović from Montenegro is 31 today The draw for our favourite TV show is a wonderful thing. It can make one performer weep, and another one sing. So they say. For example, look who followed Norway in every draw between 1981 and 1986. An even more […]
#BIRTHDAY: 1 January Gisela A new year, and we can now say that Israel will be hosting this year. Exciting, isn’t it? Well it is for the 42 countries that will be there on stage between 14 and 18 May. Will yours be of them? One country that […]
