#BIRTHDAY: 19 August – Laura Tesoro from Belgium is 30 Do you enjoy good national final? No, not that Melodifestivalen thing – we’re talking about good national finals. We jest of course. Every national final will have good songs and, erm, other songs. Our friends in Belgium flit […]
#BIRTHDAY: 8 August – Sanja Vučić from Serbia is 33 Some of those singers just can’t get enough of our favourite TV show. They keep coming back, just to see if they can win that crystal microphone. But it sometimes happens that they come back again in a slightly […]
#BIRTHDAY: 5 August – Dalal from Bosnia-Herzegovina is 45 Our friends in Bosnia & Herzegovina have fallen out of love with our favourite TV show of late. We miss them with their quirky acts and Slavic tendencies. They last had a go at winning in 2016 and didn’t […]

#BIRTHDAY: 16 Mar – Sandhja from Finland is 35 The Eurovision fortnight can be a long two weeks if they don’t quite go your way. You turn up in the host city a long time before the big Grand Final, and you have to hang in there till […]
