#BIRTHDAY: Nina Kraljić from Croatia is 30 today An outfit. It’s all about the outfit. Definitely all about the outfit. Oh, and there’s a song to perform too. But, for some at least, the outfit is a necessary part of proceedings. Today’s birthday girl Nina Kraljić definitely had […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lidia Isac from Moldova is 29 today Which country would like to see win the contest for the first time? And would you go there if they did? Several countries are gunning for it. Let’s take Moldova for example. Not always a ‘fashionable’ country, but with some […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ana Rucner from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 39 today It would be good to see certain countries come back to our favourite TV show. Not just those micro-states, but there are some larger ones that did well in the past, but now sit on the sidelines. It […]
#BIRTHDAY: ManuElla from Slovenia is 33 today We love countries that try. And try. And try. They don’t always succeed, but even after taking part for over a quarter of a century, they feel that maiden win is not far off. Slovenia first took part in their own […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anna Vissi from Greece is 64 today As you’ll know, there have been 65 contests. So that means 65 home entries. We had one yesterday, and we’ve got another one today. Are you excited yet? Today’s birthday girl Άννα Βίσση/Anna Vissi was the home entrant in 2006, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Zoë Straub from Austria is 25 today Has the free language rule signalled the death knell for some languages? It’s true that songs in Italian and Portuguese have won in the last few years, but generally English is king. Or in the case of the 2021 contest, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hovi Star from Israel is 35 today It’s always worth remembering that our favourite TV show is a contest for writers, not just performers. So maybe it’s time it made more of the songwriters again. Anyone recall the 1985 postcards? I’m bigging up writers as today’s song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Iveta Mukuchyan from Armenia is 35 today Today we go to one of those countries who have been able to get things right with the junior version of our favourite TV show. Five Top 2 places no less. But they’ve had a little less success at the […]
