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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elhaida Dani from Albania is 28 today Do you think it’s only a matter of time before another country wins our favourite TV show for the first time? It could, of course, be this year. Our friends in Albania have never won, but they can get out […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aminata from Latvia is 28 today Does it ever pique your interest when you see someone with a noteworthy name taking part in our favourite TV show? They could be a native of their country, but have an interesting ancestry. Today’s birthday girl Aminata Savidogo is one […]
#BIRTHDAY: Boggie from Hungary is 34 today We mentioned our Magyar friends the other day, in that we missed them and we wanted them back. But it’s also true that they’ve tried a variety of musical styles down the years. What’s your preferred style? If it happens to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Václav Noid Bárta from Czechia is 40 today Some countries haven’t sent many performers to our favourite TV show. So when one comes along, it’s only right that we celebrate it. Even more so when it’s one of those special birthdays that end in a zero. Back […]
#BIRTHDAY: Guy Sebastian from Australia is 39 today It’s always exciting when a country débuts in our favourite TV show. Over 40 countries have participated, and there’s always rumour of more débuts to come. The newest country is that famous European country – Australia. Avid viewers for 30 […]
BIRTHDAY: Michele Perniola from San Marino is 22 today When we celebrate birthdays, usually the performers have seen a few summers. People in their 60s, 70s, even 80s are all worth celebrating. So it’s very different when someone who took part five years ago is still only in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ann Sophie from Germany is 30 today The Big Five. A good thing or a bad thing? Well, they put a lot of money into our favourite TV show, so we can see those jurors in HD rather than listen to them on a patchy phone line. […]
BIRTHDAY: Måns Zelmerlöw is 34 today A winner you say? You want a winner? Well, every birthday boy and girl are winners, but there are over 60 acts that have won our favourite TV show’s grand prize. and we’ve got a corker for you today. If you want […]
#BIRTHDAY: Monika Linkytė from Lithuania is 28 today What do you think of the three Baltic states? They had their fair share of success and failure, with those two things seemingly concentrated in some areas more than others. We know that Estonia has won, and Latvia has won. […]
We mentioned yesterday about whether certain countries could host our favourite TV show, and the headache some broadcasters may face if they ever won. The Mediterranean’s happiest rock has never hosted the big ESC, but they do have two JESCs under their belt. There are a lot of […]
BIRTHDAY: Anita Simoncini from San Marino is 21 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: Loïc Nottet from Belgium is 24 today Do you feel for Belgium? A fully-formed country, but two broadcasters that keep to their own markets – except for Eurovision of course and, I understand, there are very few channels of communications between the two. I’m sure it’s not […]
BIRTHDAY: Vaidas Baumila from Lithuania is 33 today It’s duo time to brighten up your weekend. We all love duos, and it’s sometimes the case you prefer one half to the other. So it helps if there’s something for everyone. Today’s duo seemed very happy together, and one […]
