#BIRTHDAY: Kaliopi from North Macedonia is 54 today We often talk about those that take part in our favourite TV show over and over again. And also we talk about those trailblazers. Well, today we have someone who fulfils both criteria. Back in 1996, you’ll know that there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michał Szpak from Poland is 30 today What do you think about the modern day system of giving jury and televoting results separately? It sets out how differently those two elements can think, and potentially throw up a surprise winner. In 2016 we saw it for the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Greta Salóme from Iceland is 34 today Many acts try and try again to win the grand prize in our favourite TV show. Some go it alone from their first appearance. Others like to start modestly, and build their way up. In 2012, old hand Jónsi represented […]
#BIRTHDAY: Serhat is 56 today Every now and then, Eurovision yields a folk hero. They don’t set out to be renowned, but it just happens to them. And whatever they do, any criticism just bounces off them. In 2019, we saw the Sammarinese send today’s birthday boy Serhat […]
#BELGIUM: Laura Tesoro from Belgium is 24 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: Ira Losco from Malta is 39 today That thing where you enjoy something so much, you want to do it again. We’ve all been there. But how many times has the second time not quite matched up to the first? This has happened often to those winners […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dalal from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 39 today 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: Jake Shakeshaft from the UK is 25 today Are there certain countries you wish could do better. Yes, we know anyone can win our favourite TV show, but some places seem to lack a bit of luck. That luck could be circumstance, or just due to the […]
BIRTHDAY: Amir from France is 36 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 […]
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: Douwe Bob is 27 today Funny how some coincidences come about. If you’re a fan of our favourite TV show, then you might have been variously pleased, disappointed or annoyed that you could or couldn’t get tickets for when the circus arrives in Rotterdam next May. So […]
