#BIRTHDAY: Molly Smitten-Downes from the UK is 36 today Yesterday, we had a birthday of someone from a country that would love to win. Today we have a country that, generally, had been in the same doldrum-like predicament. Until 2022 that is. They try in a very nonchalant […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kasey Smith from Ireland is 33 today Plenty of countries have a history of success at our favourite TV show. Some of these seem to have lost their winning touch, and don’t know what to do to get it back. Do you go contemporary and risk being […]
#BIRTHDAY: Valentina Monetta from San Marino is 48 today What do you think of those performers that keep coming back? Do you think they should call it a day if they don’t do well? Do you admire persistence? Do you secretly one a trier to win at some […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hersi from Albania is 33 today Are you from a country that’s never won our favourite TV show? How do you feel? Do you think that [at least] one of your songs should have won, so we can see the delights of what your capital city has […]
#BIRTHDAY: András Kállay-Saunders from Hungary is 38 today Songs sung in our favourite TV show cover a very wide range of themes. We’ve had songs about falling in love, songs about falling out of love, and songs about how we need to take care of the thongs we […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ruth Lorenzo from Spain is 40 today There must be some golden rules when going on to a Eurovision stage. For example, always make sure you know where the camera is. Or that you’re wearing clean underwear. One rule I think performers should stick to is always […]
BIRTHDAY: Tinkara Kovač from Slovenia is 44 today As you know, we often drone on about people who keep trying. Some of them make it to the final week/fortnight many times, and still want more (cough Monetta cough). Some have a couple of attempts as a national final, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carl Espen from Norway is 40 today Do you ever notice that some songs are touted as winners, only to fade away once they get to the host city. It could be a missed staging opportunity, or the draw conspiring against it. Back in 2014, we all […]
#BIRTHDAY: RiskyKidd from Greece is 28 today Have you noticed an increase in collaborations? No? Well, maybe not necessarily in Eurovision circles, but definitely in the wider world of music. But what happens in music eventually permeates to Eurovision. And in 2014 Greece entered a collaboration between Freaky […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emma Marrone from Italy is 38 today Our friends in Italy have done fairly well since they can back from exile. Seven top 10 finishes in their last nine attempts, including two runner-up spots. Which other of the Big Five can boast that record? Of course, for […]
