#BIRTHDAY: Sandhja from Finland is 30 today 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 the end. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rykka from Switzerland is 35 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, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Justs from Latvia is 26 today It’s always a tough ask, when you take part in the contest the year after your country does well. This might be because your country won, or could just be because your country had a really good result the previous year. […]
#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 […]

#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 […]
