#BIRTHDAY: Emmy from Armenia is 37 today It can always be a lottery taking part in a semi-final. Yes, these days only five countries don’t have to take part in them. But luck, whether it’s bad or good, can get you through to the Grand Final, or hold […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mika Newton from Ukraine is 35 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: Getter Jaani from Estonia is 28 today 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 an impression. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paradise Oskar from Finland is 30 today 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Loukas Giorkas is 34 today 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 Century something changed and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jedward from Ireland are 29 today 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 twins, you’ve […]
#BIRTHDAY: Evelina Sašenko from Lithuania is 33 today Can you cast your mind back to nine years ago? What were you doing? Were you at school? Were you celebrating one of those ‘big’ birthdays that ends in a zero? Were you even a fan of our favourite TV […]
BIRTHDAY: Nadine Beiler from Austria is 30 today Some countries have had a patchy relationship with our favourite TV show. Take Italy for example. They took over a decade out, and have been pushing for a win since. Then there are our friends in Austria. It’s been a […]
#BIRTHDAY: The TWiiNS from Slovakia are 34 today Two birthdays for the price of one. Always a bonus, don’t you think? But as you’ll gather, a fair number of twins have taken part in our favourite TV show. There is always this fascination with twins, whether they’re tumbling […]
BIRTHDAY: Alex Sparrow from Russia is 32 today Our friends in Russia have only had one win, but we know they are after a second. They use the most capable writers, and singers that can mix it with the best. Will that second win come soon? Probably. But […]
BIRTHDAY: Senit from San Marino is 40 today We’re looking at a country that tries today. And it’s a country that’s become associate with one act. No, as of this year, make that two. But the Most Serene Republic hat is San Marino has – occasionally – sent […]
BIRTHDAY: Kati Wolf from Hungary is 45 today There’s a word that is used in a derogatory fashion to describe some songs that elements of the fan community think are wonderful and will win the contest by 800 points. I’m not going to use that word here. Today’s […]
BIRTHDAY: Dino Merlin from Bosnia-Herzegovina is 57 today Is Eurovision a young person’s game? Well, the junior that happens in 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? Of course, […]
BIRTHDAY: Amaury Vassili from France is 30 today The free language rule is a funny old thing. Obviously, most countries have picked a world-wide language to do their stuff. English usually, but French is often a good bet too. So imagine our surprise when one of the Big […]
BIRTHDAY: Ell from Azerbaijan is 30 today What’s this? Another duo? Well, with them 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 certain […]
