It’s fair to assume that if you win a Eurovision semi-final, the chances are that you will do very well in the Grand Final. You could even win. So it’s always a thing when a high flier in the semi-final doesn’t fulfil its potential in the Saturday night […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nikki from Azerbaijan is 45 today Can you always pick a winner? Do you see it make its way through the Eurovision season and think “Yes, that’s the one”? Or are you often surprised when [insert country here] wins the big prize? Occasionally a song wins that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nina from Serbia is 36 today Many of the performers at our favourite TV show are out-and-out singers or musicians. They might do other stuff, but usually as a hobby. But there are those where the singing is the hobby, and they have a ‘proper’ job. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eldar Gasimov from Azerbaijan is 36 today It’s duo time! And with two singers you get double the chance of seeing what could be your favourite song played. And, for some, this will be their favorite song of all time. Cast your mind back to 2011. A […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nadine Beiler from Austria is 35 today Some countries have had a patchy relationship with our favourite TV show. Take Italy for example. They took over a decade out, and eventually won when they chose to. Then there are our friends in Austria. It’s been a bit […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lena from Germany is 34 today The 2025 Eurovision season is over. But birthdays go on. For some birthdays at this time of year, we might still have been in a Eurovision season. Is it coincidence that two winners celebrate their birthdays today? We’ll leave the more […]

#BIRTHDAY: Mika Newton from Ukraine is 39 today We often pick up on the gimmicks used to give your song that extra push. Those things that make your average viewer sit up enough to pick up their telephone and wote for you. Occasionally, there are times when you […]
#BIRTHDAY: Raphael Gualazzi from Italy is 43 today It was back in late 2010/early 2011 that websites were previewing a massive announcement that we’d remember for ever. It was an intriguing thing to say, and did, momentarily, have me wondering what it would be. An expanded contest of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aurela Gaçe from Albania is 50 today Dramatic is always a high-risk strategy. It can do the business, as it can keep that valuable televoter completely enthralled, or it can bomb completely, as that same valuable televoter just points and laughs instead. Our Albanian friends like to […]
