#BIRTHDAY: Evdokia Kadi from Cyprus is 44 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefan Filipović from Montenegro is 38 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: Sirusho from Armenia is 38 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: Vrčak from North Macedonia is 44 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 41 today We’ve got another home entrant here. They will always occupy a special place in Eurovision lore, as there has been less than 70 of them. A small number have won, and a number have done the opposite. Maybe it’s best […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jeronimas Milius from Lithuania is 40 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, our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tereza Kerndlová from Czechia is 38 today We occasionally talk about countries that have the old love/hate relationship with our favourite contest. While your country’s broadcaster may studiously take part every year, there are those that take the odd year out here and there. Our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Olta Boka from Albania is 33 today Do you prefer a song in a language you can’t understand? If you can speak English you’re always in luck with the songs taking part. But when a country sings in their own tongue, it’s always a good thing. In […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Haukaas Storeng from Norway is 45 today Performing last in the Grand Final at our favourite TV show can be daunting. You have to watch 20+ other acts perform, doing their best for their respective broadcasters and nations. And by the time you come on, the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Geta Burlacu from Moldova is 50 today Europe is a rich continent, full of countries of all shapes and sizes. Plenty of big ones have won, as well as a few little ones. For some of these smaller nations, Eurovision is an ideal place to sell yourself. […]
