#BIRTHDAY: Sopho Gelovani from Georgia is 38 today Songs get some by performers in many forms. I like soloists as they can put everything into their singing. I also like groups as they can share the load and bounce off each other. And then there are duets. Duets […]
#BIRTHDAY: Robin Stjernberg from Sweden is 31 today If you were to be lucky enough to represent your country in our favourite TV show, would you want to travel somewhere exotic to do so? Or would you like a whole bunch of the arena crowd on your side […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cezar from Romania is 42 today Stage performances come in all shapes and sizes. Some are just the singer, with backdrop, giving us a simple song. Others use cowbells, Alpen horns, costume changes, or even children (pre 1989). Today’s birthday Florin Cezar Ouatu tried a different tack. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marco Mengoni from Italy is 33 today We sometimes ramble on about countries gearing up for a win. You can think of your Russias or your Romanias or your Azerbaijans. But there’s one country who, arguably, could have won any time they chose. They were lined up […]
#BIRTHDAY: Natália Kelly from Austria is 27 today One thing about Eurovision that some of us have learnt over the years is the form has no memory. A country can win after a really poor result the previous year. Belgium 1985/86 anyone? Or Latvia 2001/02? This brings to […]
#CHRISTMAS2021: Eurovision Ireland Advent Calendar Day 4 Christmas is a-coming, so we at Eurovision Ireland want to share some notable performances by Eurovision acts of festive songs. Some are standards, and some may be new to you. Today’s song is… Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
#BIRTHDAY: Gianluca Bezzina from Malta is 32 today Are there any countries you would love to see win for the first time? Well there aren’t that many left, but some are dying to lose their winning virginity, as we saw in Rotterdam. Today we look at the Mediterranean’s […]
#HALL OF FAME: Welcome inductees 11 and 12 Here at Eurovision Ireland, we want to celebrate those most illustrious people who have made our favourite TV show the thing that it is today. In each edition, we’ll induct two performer or personalities from somewhere in Eurovision land. These […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nodar Tatishvili from Georgia is 35 today That thing when you get a well-performed duet at our favourite TV show. In theory, you get two able performers, who bounce off each other, giving us the best of both worlds. It’s odd that more duets haven’t won the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margaret Berger from Norway is 36 today Life can imitate art sometimes. For example, I’ll plant this thought: Who do you think I once saw in a food court in sunny Malmö eating a burger? In other news, I’ve found a very powerful song for your birthday-related […]
#BIRTHDAY: Fərid Məmmədov from Azerbaijan is 30 today Some countries seem to have an easier time at Eurovisions than others. Some will stick to their tried and tested formulae, even though they may be a little dated. Others can tap into the current mood and make the most […]
#BIRTHDAY: Adrian Lulgjuraj from Albania is 41 today Don’t you just love our favourite TV show for its masses of different styles? You can have good old Scandi-Schlager, followed by good old Adriatic ballad, followed by something completely insane. There’s something for everyone. Some styles feature more than […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amandine Bourgeois from France is 42 today It’s an old adage that anyone can won our favourite TV show. If the song’s good enough, it’ll shine through. And past performance is no guide to future performance. Take France for example, only going and finishing second in Rotterdam. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Bonnie Tyler from the UK is 70 today It’s only right that our favourite TV show can demonstrate a mix of the established performer and the youngster setting out to prove themselves in the cut-throat world of entertainment. There is no right formula, as it’s down to […]
#BIRTHDAY: ByeAlex from Hungary is 37 today There’s been a little gap in central Europe of late. A gap which is countries currently having a few years out from our favourite TV show. You’d need to ask their broadcaster why they’re not competing with song, but we do […]
