#BIRTHDAY: Anita Simoncini from San Marino is 23 today If you keep an eye on the wider Eurovision family, you’ll know about the Junior version. We’ve already seen some Junior stars make it to the big contest, and one day we may see someone who wins them both. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marta Jandová from the Czech Republic is 48 today As we know, some decent songs stay in the semi-finals when maybe they shouldn’t. Some dross rightly remain there too, but it just shows how brutal the things can be. Today’s song got stuck in the limbo of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stig Rästa from Estonia is 42 today I’m loving today’s birthday. But more of that later. Our favourite TV show often throws up writers who keep coming back. It could be because they’re good writers. Or it could be because they’ve nothing better to do with a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Elena from Greece is 38 today Continuing our Mediterranean theme – well, it started yesterday – we move east to the popular country taking part in our favourite TV show since the 1970s. As we’ve discussed, Greece’s success has mainly been 21st Century, when someone gave […]
#BIRTHDAY: Edurne from Spain is 36 today Our friends in Spain haven’t had the best of times this century. The peak was a 6th place finish in 2001. Since then, well, they’ve tried. They’ve even brought in bigger guns at time. Today’s birthday girl Edurne García Almagro had […]
#CHRISTMAS2021: Eurovision Ireland Advent Calendar Day 20 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: Nadav Guedj from Israel is 23 today As we know, some people are born in a different country to the one (or ones) they eventually sing for in our favourite TV show. For some, it’s obvious they’re a false flagger, but for others less so. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eduard Romanyuta is 29 today False-flagger alert! Well, of sorts. It’s one of those days when the worlds of false flaggers and persistent triers collide. With criminal results, you might say. Today’s birthday boy Едуард Едуардович Романюта/Eduard Romanyuta tried three times before he finally got the gig. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mørland from Norway is 41 today I’ve picked a duet today. Don’t you just love them? This duettist wrote the song as well as duetted with Joanna Bussinger. But more of her later. The song is about doing something bad in your past. We’ve all done it, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lisa Angell from France is 53 today You may think that when Portugal won, they had been mightily unlucky to only win at its 376th attempt. Well I guess they have, but now the most appearances without a win honour lies with Malta and Iceland – depending on […]
BIRTHDAY: John Karayiannis from Cyprus is 27 today There are still plenty of countries that have never won the big prize at our favourite TV show. Some have come close, but can’t quite find that mystery ingredient to push them over the line. Banger or ballad? Male or […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elina Born from Estonia is 27 today Woo-hoo! It’s duo time today. That delicious mix of two singers. Well, it’s delicious when they do work together. Or it could be a potential car crash. Either way, there’s usually at least one singer that works, even if the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maimuna from Belarus is 31 today Performing at the Eurovision Song Contest isn’t always about being the singer. You could a credit as a performer, but through another role. And if you’re a competent instrumentalist, then why not? Today’s birthday girl Маймуна Амаду Мурашка/Maimuna Amadu Murashko got […]
BIRTHDAY: Polina Gagarina from Russia is 34 today There’s often an air of inevitability about some results. Certain countries will do badly. A country on the Baltic Sea often does well. And then there’s a certain very large country that straddles Europe and Asia. Our friends in Russia […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Olafs from Iceland is 28 today We all know those semi-finals can be bloodbaths. Yes, each song may have a better than average chance of qualifying but it can still be brutal, knowing your quest for glory could end rather ignominiously on a Tuesday evening. It […]
