#BIRTHDAY: Ilinca from Romania is 26 today It would be a dull old Eurovision if all the songs sounded the same. They obviously don’t, otherwise they’d all finish up with the same number of points. But whilst they all want to stand out, some stand out because they […]
#BIRTHDAY: Omar Naber from Slovenia is 43 today Many people can claim to have a unique record in our favourite TV show. It could be their country’s only winner. Or the only person to win twice as a performer. More often – probably – are people who share […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tako Gachechiladze from Georgia is 41 today Do you ever wonder what becomes of Eurovision stars after they’ve had their three minutes of fame? I’ll wager some of them go back to working in [insert coffee shop chain here]. Maybe some of them end up catching norovirus […]
#BIRTHDAY: Svala from Iceland is 47 today Have you ever noticed any families taking part in our favourite TV show? We have had twins, siblings, and even a mother/daughter act. But as it’s been going over 60 years, there’s the chance of dynasties emerging. Today’s birthday girl Svala […]
#BIRTHDAY: Koit Toome from Estonia is 45 today It’s often nice when we see people having another go at winning European singing’s biggest prize. After all, plenty of people have tried on several occasions to become that song. Back in 1998, we saw today’s birthday boy Koit Toome […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brendan Murray from Ireland is 27 today Who says we just pick those obscure songs from decades no-one remembers. The ones where you can understand why they sank without trace. But we can pick obscure ones from recent contests too. We jest. Today’s birthday boy is someone […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tijana Bogićević from Serbia is 42 today Balkan, Balkan, Balkan. And so on. That’s where we are today, and things have a definite Cyrillic flavour. We’re with a country that burst onto the Eurovision scene in 2007. That’s Serbia. Yes, the place who’s capital is Belgrade had […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alex Florea from Romania is 32 today Don’t you just love duets. Two singers for the price of one. A variety of voices. Maybe even something for everyone. And the antics of one can offset the skill of the other. Today we have a duet, part of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Leonor Andrade from Portugal is 29 today We often mention those unlucky songs that were a year too early. The song the year later won, or did really well. So the year-too-early ones may just have paved the way. If you cast your mind back to Portugal’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Imri Ziv from Israel is 32 today You want bang up to date? Well, something from the heady decade that was the 2010s? When the fun and games were in beautiful Kyiv to be exact. And we have plenty of choice. It sometimes happens that a song […]
