BIRTHDAY: Lidia Isac from Moldova is 27 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: Jamie-Lee from Germany is 22 today Yeah, it’s a dark day in our world. But life goes on. Things will be back to normal next year, with no virus to spoil our fun. As we know, six countries per year make it straight through to the Grand […]
BIRTHDAY: Francesca Michielin from Italy is 25 today We all know that one of the Big Five (at least) is really gunning for its next win. Year after year it generally out-performs the other four with its results. And when it does win, what a glorious contest that […]
BIRTHDAY: Ana Rucner is 37 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 wasn’t that long ago […]
BIRTHDAY: Frans from Sweden is 21 today Do you ever feel old when you watch certain performers do what they do best? Those singers who were teenagers when they took part in our favourite TV show years ago and are still only in their twenties. Cast your mind […]

BIRTHDAY: Nicky Byrne from Ireland is 41 today There’s a lot to be said for the selection process to choose a song for our favourite TV show. What’s the right formula? Do you go for an internal selection? Or do you let Joe/Josef/Jozef/Giuseppe public decide? Obviously, this year, […]
BIRTHDAY: Joe Woolford from the UK is 25 today You have to admire the United Kingdom of stuff. They have this glittering past of top three places that came to a juddering halt in 2002. They may have been overtaken by a number of events. Yet they still […]
BIRTHDAY: Ira Losco from Malta is 38 today The returning performer – oh how we love them. Except for Alexander Rybak. You must have your favourite returning performer. Or maybe there’s a performer you’d like to see come back. Like Rodolfo Chikilicuatre for example. Today’s birthday girl Ira […]

BIRTHDAY: Rykka from Switzerland is 33 today Eurovision isn’t all about winning. That’s because these days for every winner there are around 40 losers. And just because you’re a loser, you’re still privileged to have been on the Eurovision stage anyway. With all loser, erm, non-winners, someone has […]
Phil from OnEurope has a quick look at why the French have gone so badly awry…. So, to the third of our Big Five anthology. This is the one that perplexes me the most. With Spain and Germany I knew what I believed to be wrong. The Spaniards have to […]
Nicky has rehearsed for the first time and the Eurovision Ireland crew have been giving their opinions…. Let’s see what they have to say…. James – Ireland up now, and Nicky certainly knows how to command an arena! No gimmicks, no tricks, no silly costumes, just lighting that doesn’t […]
