#BIRTHDAY: Raphael Gualazzi from Italy is 40 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: Eric Saade from Sweden is 31 today Hold on folks, we have a Swedish birthday today. It’s not one of those Swedes who won our favourite TV show, although no doubt some fans out there think he should have done. In 2011, today’s birthday boy Eric Saade/إريك […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nina from Serbia is 32 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: 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 […]
