#BIRTHDAY: Olia Tira from Moldova is 33 today Our friends in Moldova have not yet won, but we all know they really put in the hard yards/metres every year, and that win might not be that far away. They have had a third-place finish, and two weeks in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eva Rivas from Armenia is 34 today It’s always interesting to hear about the theme of a Eurovision song. Falling in love is probably the top one. Songs about falling out of love often follow. And then the others. Maybe about things you like, or things that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Peter Nalitch from Russia is 40 today Do you ever wonder why a certain song does so well or so badly? Do you think it was robbed of a place in the Grand Final, or got through when it shouldn’t have done. Back in 2010, Russia sent […]

#BIRTHDAY: Josh Dubovie from the UK is 30 today Our friends in the UK seem to be in a rut at the moment, and they don’t seem to know how to get out of it. Since the heady days at the end of the 20th Century, they’ve been […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tomas N’evergreen from Denmark is 51 today What do you think of the duo? A good idea? It’s true that with two people sharing the load, it takes some of the stress out of being on a massive stage. And as a viewer, it’s likely you might […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marcin Mroziński from Poland is 35 today Are you a fan of those Eurovision performers that make capital out of their appearance on the big stage? Being a Eurovision performer put someone in a small club, and they will (nearly) always have a fan base with us. […]
