#BIRTHDAY: 18 Oct – Loucas Giorkas from Greece is 40 Our friends in the Hellenophone community used to have a torrid time of it. They’d be true to themselves and enter stuff reflecting their culture, and would earn few rewards. Then in the early part of the 21st […]
#BIRTHDAY: 16 Oct – Jedward from Ireland are 35 Do you think we’re short-changing you, with only one birthday per day. Well it wouldn’t be right if we were to dilute the attention we give to a birthday boy or girl. Unless it’s twins. And if you want […]
#BIRTHDAY: 12 Sept – Dino Merlin from BiH is 64 Is Eurovision a young person’s game? Well, the junior that happens around November definitely is. But do you have to be a fresh-faced and eager teenager or twenty-something to get the most out of our favourite TV show? […]

#STORYOFMYLIFE – Day Two with Richard from EI In this series, we’ll be talking to someone and asking them to pick five songs (over five days) that mean something to them. These may not be their top five songs of all time – merely songs that attach to […]
#BIRTHDAY: 3 Feb – Getter Jaani from Estonia is 33 A stage show can be crucial in getting your song across to the voters of Europe and beyond. It can make a difference between getting three minutes, six minutes, or even nine minutes. So it has to make […]
