#BIRTHDAY: Tijana from North Macedonia is 46 today We’ve got a trier today. You have to admire our friends in North (formerly FYR) Macedonia. They used to make the Grand Final year in year out, sometimes to the consternation of ‘Old Europe’. The rules then changed and North […]
#BIRTHDAY: The Tolmachevy Sisters from Russia are 25 today Two birthdays for the price of one? You don’t get that very often, so when it comes along it’s worth posting. Even if these people are from the country they’re from. Sadly, it’s not the two glamour pusses from […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mei Finegold from Israel is 39 today You want a lyric to furrow the brow and encourage a shrug? Then today’s song has a prime candidate. Us European types often use a lot of artistic licence when it comes to rhyming couplets. Just ask Natasja Crone Back […]

#BIRTHDAY: Cristina Scarlat from Moldova is 40 today If you were lucky enough to get to the big Eurovision stage, what would your gimmick be? You only have three minutes to impress the juries and viewers, so it has to be instant. And memorable. But not shocking. It’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: András Kállay-Saunders from Hungary is 36 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: Teo from Belarus is 38 today Have you ever wondered why our friends in Belarus can excel at the Junior version of our favourite TV show, but struggle at the big one? They do try, and you must give them credit for that. As you’ll know, they’ve […]
