#BIRTHDAY: Samra from Azerbaijan is 31 today We’ve got a birthday today for one of our friends from Azerbaijan. As you’ll know, they won once and would love to win again. They tend to use non-Azerbaijani songwriters, but that hasn’t held them back. That might be why they […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jamie-Lee from Germany is 27 today Who would you like to see win our favourite TV show this year? A song from one of the semi-finals? Or one of those automatic qualifiers? As we know, six countries per year make it straight through to the Grand Final. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rykka is 39 today Do you like it when we see people from outside Europe (or, since 2015, Australia), taking part in our favourite TV show? Do you want to see the best singers, wherever they’re from? Or should they just be European? Of course, non-Europeans have […]

#BIRTHDAY: Laura Tesoro from Belgium is 28 today Do you enjoy good national final? No, not that Melodifestivalen thing – I’m talking about good national finals. I jest of course. Every national final will have good songs and, erm, other songs. Our friends in Belgium flit between televised […]
#BIRTHDAY: Agnete from Norway is 30 today Eurovision is tough. All the fans can be quick to judge sometimes, and many happily say they do/don’t like a specific song. But it can be stressful for the performers, who give it their all. In 2016, today’s birthday girl Agnete […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gabriela Gunčíková from Czechia is 31 today Our friends in the Czech Republic have had an interesting time in our favourite TV show. As we know, the semi-finals are bloodbaths, and getting out of them can be tricky. In their first three attempts, the Czechs accrued 10 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amir from France is 40 today Do you ever get caught up in the storms of interest that surround some songs? A momentum builds behind [insert song here] and people think it just has to show up to win. The fan community can sometimes get it very […]
